Thanks and the same for you.

Lucky Finnish people, it seems you are sheltering the real home of Santa Claus.

The RGD doesn't check if there are actually ennemy ships in the region. It evaluates if the sea mine explodes and, if it is the case, the CSA gets the +1 NM and Union ships are damaged if present . In other words, the event can be played and triggered even if no ennemy ship is present or pass throug...

...or lower the number of VPs earned from the cities in the North.

I assume the base chance for non-defensive postures is 100%? In AACW the file contained a parameter stating 100% in offensive posture. This line has disappeared in CW2 but I assume it's still 100% [/QUOTE]As for inactive leaders... I assume the impact is indirect. Being inactive would increase the ...

Here are the parameters for MTSG in the GameLogic.opt file : resBaseChanceDef = 90 // Base chance if in Defensive posture resCostPerDay = 10 // -10% for each day of marching resCohCostPerDay = -1 // -1 cohesion for each day of marching resModAdjGHQ = 10 // +10% if adjacent to army HQ resModIsGHQ = 2...

A unit can be moved to an adjacent region if blizzard is in effect in its region. You'll see a message in the event log.

I was interested by history since my teenage (very long time now...) and when you start to read about it, the Civil War appears to be the last "gallant" war (if a war can be gallant...) with great characters (Lee, Grant, Sherman, ...), against the odds victories, both sides fighting for a cause and ...

:D More than you think, because you have to break some eggs to make an omelet, and that's the one thing McClellan didn't want to do ;) . I was thinking to this, it's a very common french expression. :) Note that there is an interesting article taking the defense of McClellan here and a mail exchang...

You must definitely be careful in the winter when your supply has to move through wild regions (mainly areas west of the Mississippi)

J'ai créé un fil de discussion en anglais sur ce sujet ici.

There is a $Close_to_Richmond area defined and used with the event checking if an Union force of 40 or more elements is in a 2 regions radius around Richmond. The list of regions is the following : $Spotsylvania_VA|$Caroline_VA|$King_and_Queen_VA|$ Louisa_VA|$Buckingham_VA|$Amherst_VA|$Appomattox_V ...

Does anyone else think that partisan raids on depots are overpowered in the game?? I buy a cheap partisan unit, place him in a region next to a level 4 depot, play the raid RGD, cross my fingers and boom!! Level FOUR depot destroyed!! This is strange, I was sure only level 1 depot could be destroye...

I did not vote because I think we should not give artificially more VP to the South : the problem is that from the beginning there is too much objectives giving VPs in the North. Remove some Northern cities from the objectives list and the net effect will be the same as giving more VPs to the South ...

But you can have 100% MC in a region and if 1 single unopposed enemy combat unit is in the region NOT in PP, no friendly supply may enter that region. Sorry, I have not read all this thread and I'm just seeing the above sentence : that seems really weird to me as it would mean you would not receive...

Use one of the brigades in Fort Johnson to assault the fort (red offensive posture). You can move from Fort Johnson to Fort Sumter without using riverine movement. If you want to be sure to storm the fort before end of turn one you can use riverine movement but this might give the opportunity to the...

You can't change the random numbers except by doing a different turn So, if I understand you well, it is normal that the first turn is always the same but the following turns can differ between two tests (i.e. playing several turns in a row and then starting again from the initial position) ? In th...

Mickey3D

No, but random numbers in computers are often (but not always) pseudo-randoms, and for AGE, it is necessary that the same entry data give the same result, or I could not reproduce bugs using your saves. Ok, so we now understand why we always have the same result. But still, this is really bad luck ...

Mickey3D

I wonder if one issue with testing with Mickey3D's save is that during the first turn supply handling, the die-roles are always the same. So you can start over as much as you want, but the results are always the same. That would be strange to say the least : the game would store in the .hst a list ...

I want a fluid war where new regiments are raised, and I decide what the Army needs You can do it the same way you did it in ACW : you are not able to pick regiments one by one but you can choose among preexisting "template" of units (e.g. 2 infantry + 1 cav virginian brigade or 3 infantry + 1 cav ...

In a region in which you have 100% MC. The enemy moves a single Partisan/Raider/Ranger/Cav in Defensive/Retreat/Avoid Combat with Cohesion level 20/60 and because the enemy Partisan is there, no supplies can enter that region, which includes moving through it. If nothing has changed since AACW then...

Mickey3D

CW2 has the same logic as the first AACW regarding raising and choosing troops. The difference is in the interface and the ability to choose where (i.e. in which region) your troop will be created.

Mickey3D

But the rule for -supply entering- a region I do not think can work the same. Otherwise, when friendly and enemy forces are facing off at each other in a region--happens a lot when large forces battle and end with "Stalemate"--neither side would receive supplies at all, and both would starve after ...

Mickey3D

People must understand that supply can flow either through the river or 'over' the river, i.e riverine transport or moving through a ford/bridge. This is what we discussed before with the 'moving into river', 'moving through the link'. This difference between riverine transport and land transport o...

Mickey3D

Actually I will assume that the possibility of supply thus crossing the Chowan River is even greater, because there are not only 3 links which can be used, but also 3 phases in which they can be moved across the river; or is blockage rolled for once per link for all three phases? Good point, I was ...

Mickey3D

I have looked into it Thanks a lot as I know you are very busy. Did you replay several times the same turn or different turns? I replayed different turns and the test was made several times starting from the same situation. Because, here is what I saw. The actual supply algorithm is prohibited from...

A player would then use them to wander through all the map without any limitation in an unrealistic way : raiders could get support in their home State, certainly not in ennemy regions.

That seems a lot to me considering you will have other stacks around the region to avoid a direct attack of the south on the Union capital ?
