Musings Of a Newby

First off, this is my first game playing the full campaign (I couldn't resist) so I've made plenty of mistakes and yet I still have some questions. I'm about 95 turns left. I've fully secured my side of the MDL W-SW of Washington and have it stonewalled with 3 powerful corps. I'm about to take Nashv...

A Couple Of Newbie Questions...

I got this game as a random gift from a close friend a couple of weeks ago. In my teen years I was a big Avalon Hill Gettysburg boardgame fan and even to a bigger extent Lee Vs. Hill which was even more realistic. Supply lines and depots, unit activity levels, fortification building, attrition, etc....
