Where do I find the DLC scenarios? I did the same as Richfed and bought both but figured out just needing BOR Icon on my own.

I just noticed after upgrading to patch 1.13 (all vesions) That the unit graphics for 12lbs and 10lb parrots are switched? I know this is a minor issue but I'd like to know if anyone else noticed?

I have played AACW for some time now. I decided to give myself a Christmas present. I would like some helpful hints from experienced BOA2ers. I ordered Christmas Day from France the Boxed edition. (I like having backup in case of system crash). I will mostly play as Americans at first.

I would be definitely interested in a Grand Campaign. For a GC I think Monthly turns are adequate. I know that I would make fighting wars a little abstract but if you have as much going behind the scenes as you say. I think it would be a good compromise. As far CSA is concerned put it in several of ...

I like the idea of a depot in Rockbridge, Virginia. Lets change geographical name of the area to either Waynesboro or Staunton. I prefer Waynesboro (I went to HS there, Fishburne Military School) also that was the place where Jubal Early Force was annihilated by Custer's Cavalry about a month before...

I would like to have the chance/option to move the capital to a different city than Richmond. I have in mind Atlanta. I think i would be more defensible.

Kentucky is effectively neutral until september of '61, you should be seeing atleast alot of support there now.

The Supply depot in Virginia named William on Map. Should be Williamsburg. Just thought of it now.

New patch working well, still learning from my generalship mistakes.

I started another union Campaign after installing the patch 1.10beta2. Normal AI, Normal agression, no modifiers to fog of war or activation. While waiting for McDowell's Army to activate. I got hit by a spoiling attack a bunch of militia and what not. Won a victory and retreated in passive mode to ...

As a Union player i find it frustrating to wait turn after turn to create divisions. Waiting for the Generals t0o activate. If one has the resources, why can't I just pay for them, and have them, work at reduce ability just like if you form them and and don't have the resources. It Seems to me that ...

hootieleece

I will report in after reinstalling 1.10beta2. Hope to Have better luck.

Thanks for quick fix.

I started a new campaign with Union. Have industrialization going on in several
states. Even had events create WS factories, but no war Supplies and conscripts on tool bar. I will download a zip file and submit it later. I may reinstall 1.o9e

I think the 4-1-2, with Surpriser ability was given to him with Play balance in mind. The Union player can and will bring hordes of troops to overrun the south. A leader with good abilities offsets that advantage somewhat. The only thing I disagree with is that 3 stars are immune to dying. AS Johnso...

When I drag the tool tip over an enemy stack, it gives me the Strength in combat power say 400. To be more realistic wouldn't it be better to indicate it by #of men, horses, and cannon.

hootieleece

I patched it over a campaign already started. (union) First thing I noticed is my war Supplies Dried up almost like being CSA, except now I have plenty of money. ie 1.09e before patch my ledger usually had 150$, 60+con, 120+ WS
at turn start.
Now 1.1 beta 400+$, 200+con, 49 WS

Should I start a new game after inserting the patch, or just continue an old one......and what kind of comments do you want? Also Definitely interested in BOA II, but it will cut into AACW time. Having a Blast eventhough I'm not very good, doing better now that I use AI's tactics against it. :niark:

hootieleece

Everytime I drag over the confederate stacks, it shows huge concentrations of troops. (1000+ strength corps, and or multiple 400+ divisions) Am I being pinkertoned or what. When I do group my troops in similar arrays usually evenstrength, I'm losing whole corps. even when on the defensive........

I'm playing as the Union. (1.09e/normal aggression). It is October/1862. I'm getting my a** handed to me by Athena. VP/NM is about even. There are confederate partisans running amok in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and Miissouri. I had the St. louis Massacre event. Made Missouri Confed. I hold all the cit...

I agree about the no organized War economy, but yes to supply lines. 18th century warfare was based on the Depot system. Thats why so many wars were just seiges of this or that town. In North America the British followed this line of thinking thats why they kept capturing towns. While their goal sho...

I am really enjoying AACW, but would be interested in Birth of America. Should i find A copy of it or just wait a couple of months for BoA2?

hootieleece

Just trying to play sort of accurately.

hootieleece

I started a new campaign as the CSA using 1.09E. Athena immediately used Full mobilization, 6% war bonds, and a graduated income tax. Historically this is unrealistic. Maybe a code could be put in for athena to not call for full mobilization for Union until January '63 or if NM dips below a certain ...

I finished the game out and got a stalemate. I owned every objective on the list. So where was the "I win Button" everyone keeps talking about. I took Mobile in June '65. But the confeds kept right on rebuilding their armies. I kept killing em in wholesale lots but ended up losing on points 4536 to ...

I just found in my local library a very good book about civil war tactics. It is called "the Bloody Crucible of Courage" by Brent Nosworthy. It explains Napoleonic tactics tried in the early going and explains how the rifled musket chaged things. I think that if you read it you will have a better un...

I just finished my Union Campaign. I held every objective City listed but could only get stalemate. the Rebs out vp'd me 4536 to 4475. I beseiged and captured several confederate armies during the campaign. Only to have their generals raise new forces to annoy me. After September of 1864, I felt lik...

I am playing as the Union I control Every major Objective except Mobile. It is May 1865. the Confeds don't even have a Capital. They keep amassing huge armies. I'm playing chase down the Guerillas. Yet I can't get the National morale above 178. I need to win Auto victory because I'm behind in Victor...

I used militia initially after a while I leave a line regiment/Brigade in each depot near the front lines. I'm still playing the same campaign. Historical atrrition/normal/fog of war/ random generals. I was really getting going in '63. I was marching on chattanooga and took Richmond. My winter offen...

I have found it is easier to deal with using a combination of militia and gunboat tactics. Militia in the towns and gunboats on the rivers. As I moved south the AI changed tactics and started sending corps and divisions on nuisance raids. It is September 1863. I'm inching a long in a long drawn out ...

My biggest disappointment is the lack of true randomization in the generals. I would like to see a campaign come about where maybe. McClellan is a genius and TJ Jackson is a bumbling fool. as it stands now good generals (historically) remain good and bad ones bad. ps US Grant should start in Cairo, ...

hootieleece

I am playing a campaign as the Union. How would one recreate the McClellan's peninsular campaign? Is there a way to do it without building a huge fleet of transports? I want to outflank the confederates and take Richmond. (I want to scare TJ Jackson out of Harpers ferry) any suggestions would be wel...
