Anyway, it's not an easy move to prevent, from Johnny's Reb perpective

Fingolfin

I kinda missed the scary green label

Fingolfin

Lack of cohesion is my guess

Fingolfin

On the paper yes, rifled art have an edge over smoothbores in offensive ops, but in truth I don't remember a single situation where having one or the other had an influence in my decision path, while wondering if I should attack or not ;) Artillery purchases are rather a matter of economical optimiz...

I also was able to attain 50% by adding a few squads in each in my last Pbem, it seemed to work fine to me

Fingolfin

As I played 3 full PBEMs without noticing, it seems like I'm well able to play a couple others waiting for ammo consumption to come back without grumbling

I'm open to house rules suggestions if you want some.

After a 4 games streak with Blutch, we have agreed for a temporary truce, which I woud like to use to battle with someone else, with the side of your choice

Fingolfin

Yes, you got it

Anyway, in your situation, you really need to open a water supply route to your besieged structure, else you may evacuate with your transport, as you really don't want to surrender your division, do you ?

Fingolfin

No, though supply is shared within a stack for consumption, there is no way to transfer supply stock between units.

I don't know if I'm clear, since the nuance is quite subtle for that matter

Fingolfin

1)No

2)Yes, but while aboard, it won't defend anymore

Fingolfin

From my understanding and experience, the answer is "no" in both cases

Fingolfin

Yeah, he also tends to easily rise to army command in my game, as he performs well at corps command as long as he keeps close from his army leader, but after being given an army, he usually ends up on second rate theaters

Fingolfin

He is not useless overall as CSA is hard pressed to 3. Forest terrain severely restricted your ability to use superior numbers due to frontage limitations. While Grant's superb stats allowed him to deploy the majority of is forces at once (see wiki http://www.ageod.net/aacwwiki/Frontage for additio...

Fingolfin

CSA, with the Union morale back to the 70s after a hellish assault on my positions in Montgomery, MD with 20K+ casualties on each side.

Fingolfin

And Mosby will do the job just fine anyway

Fingolfin

Exception here, Blutch called for a truce in June 64 in our last July 61 game

Although our situation was quite different, I didn't believe It was possible to win so late

I had faith in his ability, glad you share your experience with him in command

Fingolfin

Zolicoffer as a 2 star ?

You're doomed

Fingolfin

Thanks :) I didn't realize that you were on a "real" North/South confrontation, serious business indeed :D That logistical situation must be quite a burden, from what i saw as a CSA player to this day, interior lines are the only available asset to achieve local superiority for a counteroffensive.

So do I

Fingolfin

At least he doesn't have any entrenched artillery with Jackson's HQ, which can make a huge difference ;) BTW, that quite puzzles me as I tend to see army stacks as my main artillery reserve, but perhaps I'm biased by my french "Grande Batterie" narrow view :bonk: EDIT : would you both inform us of ...

Fingolfin

Without a clue about corps' composition, my path would be to go for Corinth with Rosy and Wallace

Fingolfin

Forrest would certainly NOT have liked the prospect of being far from the front, but his genuine understanding of ennemy supply disrupting would certainly have had some uses at a higher level of command, such as how to handle logistics, in my opinion. Also, let's not forget how he succeeded in evacu...

Fingolfin

Quickly Angered isn't much of an hindrance on the other hand, of course i wouldn't promote him at the head of the ANV beccause of it, but in all other theaters, building strong enough corps to bother about CP limits is quite utopic anyway

Fingolfin

Yeah, the understanding of the Great Laws of MC is instrumental in any victory in this game

Fingolfin

Et cela marche dans la mesure où il m'est difficile de résister à la tentation de lâcher la milice...

Fingolfin

Il faut par contre admettre que d'autoriser les raids de cavalerie sans officier amène des situations peu historiques où le nord, dès 1861, s'attaque au réseau ferroviaire sudiste. :wacko: J'en suis à ma troisième partie face à Blutch, et c'est de pire en pire, il arrive même à continuer ses raids ...
