graphics switch

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?

Just bought BOA2....awaiting arrival.

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.

Grand Campaign

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...

Minor city name adjustment

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

As a Union player i find it frustrating to wait turn after turn to create divisions. Waiting for the Generals t0o activate.

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...

inteligence from tool tip dragging

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.

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:

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...

Athena's unrealistic mobilization

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 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 ...
