Never even occurred to me...thx.

Hello everyone. I began a full campaign about 2 weeks ago and have made it to February, 1862. I used one industrialization option in 1861, Arsenals and something in Georgia. Took a few months and it finished just fine creating 3 or 4 new ones across Georgia. Upon entering the year 1862, it said I no...

Thanks! I'm not trying to start an argument about this event, just trying to figure out if it's winnable without "assistance" from your opponent. Yes, it is allowed in the rules of the game unless both players agree to its 'off limits" early on. But that would not be strategically the best way to be...

So...how can the USA really "win" the 1861 Manassas event to avoid a -10 NM hit when up against an entrenched Bory (4-2-5) and Longstreet (5-3-6 & a 231pwr) and 3 other CSA generals and forces that just never seem to lose cohesion or men? After 2 major battles and I haven't even dented the Manassas ...

I am currently in a game played up to JAN 62 in which I have tryed to keep the artillery and supply pools pretty stable w/ at least 1. I've noticed that if you concentrate your replacement funding to these 2 early on you can begin to stabalize them fairly early, depending on the battles fought and r...

I think its only gamey in certain situations, like to "get out" of an unwinnable battle or the like. But think of it like this too, you are the CINC and have control of your commanders so why not be that CINC that says "OK if your not going to take this force and do something with it then I'll give ...

I too would enjoy having this in an AACW2. A way to generate OOB's and detailed battle reports to go back too seems a really cool feature. And the alternate options as if they did actually happen is always an interesting twist. Thanks marecone for reposting your comments!

Lets move on!

A rework of the game engine or anything related to it is the last thing I would ask for or expect Grey. So please don't think that i'm doing it to ask for something to change it later. i would not dream of it! I just had a moment of cursing during this game turn and now I feel better. The research i...

In the current PBEM game, I am trying to get a small Union force back home moving through the Blue Ridge mountains along the WV/VA border. The problem I have is putting into context how blizzard conditions can exist in so many regions for so long. I have now had 2 turns where blizzard conditions are...

kwhitehead: I have just recently played through the "Army in Manassas" event in a PBEM game. So if what you describe is against the AI then I would say it's a whole different game! (And of course what I'm about to describe you can disregard). But for the Union to occupy Manassas without any oppositi...

Vince, It is partly due to the User Account Control settings found in the control panel settings and the other responsible culprit is probably that "virus"(not really) the Windows Media Center. It is a huge resource hog and doesn't speed ANYTHING up! I know your frustration believe me! But I solved ...

Gentlemen, I noticed this as well when I started a new campaign after installing rc19. However, instead of only performing administrative functions on the first turn, I assualted Ft Sumter and returned to the financial screen before applying next turn, where it then correctly recognized the starting...

biggp07

Thats a whole...Army?!

biggp07

It's not the lack of detail that bothers me, but it's blurry. What kind of cartographic projection are you using for the map? Theoretically one could try to make a mod that replaces the textures with hires versions, which could be made from satellite images like this one: I know there is a Mod for ...

I want to thank my fair opponent Todd for a good game, and my friend Vegetius for his hosting service in replacement off the cuff of Rebelcat DarthMath & Vegetius, I wish to express the same back to you both! :thumbsup: :) I had fun for the short time it lasted, but when your having fun it always s...

biggp07

We can not really know because it never happened, at least in a big way. Only provide conjecture and observation as you have and I will here. I think this is a great feature in the game though, because it allows that "what if" to possibly happen in each of our games we play and might change the cour...

biggp07

I'd like to join in the fun! I'm essentially brand new to the tourny circuit but I hope I could give a good round or two!

biggp07

I too would like too see a GC! I have really enjoyed reviewing the previous ones and hope I can learn from the next.

Since I play this game soley on the premise that it mostly represents actual history I voted to allow McDowells Bull Run results determine McClellens status in future. I personally would play this but it might not be for everybody, therefore I have not asked for it up to now. I'm just havin fun at t...

@AM - Nice to meet another fellow Warrant Officer. And true to the Rising Eagle's core, (pun intended)

, you have demonstrated your technical expertise with the awards thread!

Well Done!!!!!!

BTW, How come you didn't go with pips instead of stripes? Just curious!

biggp07

Thanks Grey! I'll be back in BIG MO this May and June, and I've been invited to a wedding in Hot Springs in June, so I plan to make a trip to at least one of those battle fields...that is if the missus will allow it!... My family is from Keytesville area, so I have always been familiar with Sterling...

Is it that we have an "also here" unit, i.e. BG Oliver Howard?

biggp07

Yep, I agree. I want to believe that Banks can still be successful with Lee and the other generals in this theater. i believe he can if he plays correct on every move. Its the knowing what that move is, that I think he is capable of knowing, but I on the other hand would have felt imminate defeat an...

biggp07

Please play on Banks! I will watch, read and learn to the bitter end! And I want to thank you and soundoff for a truly enjoyable ACW AAR experience!

biggp07

Yep!...I am watching this like my life depended on it!!! I'm on the edge of my seat and can hardly wait for the next turn posting! I just completed a turn in my own game where Grant assaulted in a blizzard

and took the town with ease! I expect a showdown between Grant and Lee, winner take all!

biggp07

And to those watching now what would you do if you were me? What if Butler is successful? What if supplies do start to get to Florida with Woods still sitting off the coast....what if I'm able to consolidate in the Transmississippi? What if in the east my efforts to strengthen positions happen?.......

I'm not sure where to post this so picked here. I am in a GC scenario April 1861 and it is early Oct 1861. I am attempting to move a force on transports to regions south of Hamptons Bay but when I plot to the region I want to go to it says I have 3044 days :blink: to reach destination and then just ...

biggp07

WOW!!! I am at the edge of my seat for this! I have been watching from its beginning and I can hardly wait for the next turn to be posted!!! This is an incredible AAR thread and I so look forward to each new posting! Good luck Banks on your gamble with A S Johnston in Kentucky! The bold decisions ar...

biggp07

Thanks Xpyre for opening this thread! It will only enhance our understanding of the actions from each of these great players and help us to improve our game. I've only been playing for a couple months myself. I love this game and love the AAR's section to learn more all the time. I think its hard to...

Well, perhaps "gamey" was a poor choice of word then?
