We look back with the brillance we think is hindsight. We think we can see all that was wrong and all that would have been fixes 'if just' someone did this or that. hindsight is a dangerous thing to use. You have to immerse yourself in the times and before those times to understand that the US was n...

I would not ever believe that those men died in vain. An entire people were freed. Its true that their freedom too far to long to be complete because so much of the South went back to controlling folks for so many years but the weight of history says they are free. Slavery, either induvidual or inst...

Interesting video! Grant wins hands down! Thumbs up for posting!

Since support for PON no longer exists (no upgrades from Paradox) how can I bring my copy up to current
version?

Nelson didn't die till the third whack so he might be included in the semi-immortals. He only lost parts over the years..

Retreating from victory is certainly a Mclellan trait!

Forge of Freedom by Matrix does both now but not on the scale that AGEOD does with the strategy available in CW2. They have
released a tactical version of Forge of Freedom recently with no strategic option.

Many thanks for the kinds words (arrows with suckers on the ends! :neener :) . Appreciate the offers to help. We (the dweebs) who come in and sit down to play a game we bought need from the manufacturer/programmers consistant and understandable info to upgrade the game so that our input can be recor...

Would it be possible to code the game for larger CSA corps and smaller US Corps and perhaps more promotions via time/event to allow them to be built? This might allow for more corps to be built with better commanders. The current seniority system has little to do with favorites of senior commanders ...

Thanks to those who responded to my cheerful insanity with somewhat less than understanding. It does not matter if I have gamed over 50 years (I have) or only have 46 posts on this forum. More folks review this game for purchase than are involved in Betas and reviews. We are the public that buys the...

Sir, you improve my point. Public Beta Testing .. Public Update Release..I am the public.

You, in the third row, unhand that fish....

thanks! this is an issue i brought up before. it sounds like an executible file but to those of us born BC (before computers) those born after or have mutated to adapt (AD) to computers live code and know code and how to work these (*&*@(*@) files. Us wee poor common folk have to struggle along whic...

I have had to remove Firefox because it appears to draw more virus attacks but when I attempted several times today to run the newest minipatch from Pocus via IE and unzip it then click on the ACW flag to exe the file all I get are repeating requests to confirm my game serial number. I have attempte...

question,
I have downloaded and unzipped the 1.06 into the CW2 folder but the startup still says 1.05. Is this correct? The unzipping seems
a bit fast for a 32MB file even when i do it with a prompt for overwrite it only requires the one "yes".

plasticpanzers

I have not tried the 1.06 patch yet but the quickfix for 1.05 still gives the Union the ability to besiege and capture the entire CSA's "Army of the Potomac in Manansass by just being defensive and sitting on them for a few turns. I will try 1.06 and see if that sticks a burr under the enemies saddl...

I can see the limitations of any game engine would effect how much detail can be included. It is just darn odd to see unescorted trains basically move thru enemy held regions and not be in any danger. On the bridges, tunnels, and rolling stock I think you are incorrect. Rails, even corkscrewed ones,...

plasticpanzers

Thank you all for your replies. Have been very helpful in figuring out "Why we fight". Some games are for
territory and some for destruction of enemy armies. Its important to know where to apply pressure and why.

plasticpanzers

I am not being obtuse but trying to understand that if i take the Mississippi does production done such as in Texas still end up in
Richmond for the CSA player/AI to use or is it restricted to the West only as historically it was.

plasticpanzers

I can understand that (objective points) but the point was not geographical targets but cutting the CSA into parts. This should effect
rail (at least some is seperate from the rest of the CSA) as well as supplies (beef and leather) and some other items and effect production
overall in the CSA.

plasticpanzers

Does seizing the Mississippi from the CSA crimp their supply and/or production? Does it seem easier to just go after
their armies in 1863 then worry about clearing the 'Father of Waters' for the Union? Is there a real effect in dividing
the CSA Western 1/3?

plasticpanzers

I am thinking there should be a malus for defenders at Harper's Ferry due to it being surrounded by hills and notorious for having garrisons captured. This might be changed or eliminated by a certain level buildup of fortifications that would assume that the surrounding hills were heavily fortified ...

plasticpanzers

Well, I installed Firefox (now I have to get used to it after years of IE). I think the minipatch loaded (it was quite fast). Play seems more balanced and the CSA is a bit more offensive orientated tho does less raids then earlier versions tho they appear more often as infantry forces than cavalry w...

I have an unzip program (not Winzip as its 29.95). It does not recognize this PHP file when i download it. I don't know how more simple i can explain it. ALL files that are downloadable for a game should be based upon the SAME download/run system, not different ones. I have IE and don't see any sane...

plasticpanzers

It does download for me as a PHP file which is unexecutable. I think that folks have to remember that many of us are just simple gamers and don't want or need to change browsers or know the 'tricks' to have to download needed patches and info. Patches and such should be done always for the maximum e...

I am playing Union on normal and find the CSA now very weak and not conducting attacks. Was able to easily siege and capture entire CSA Army in Manassas with the weaker Union army. Reloading as CSA to look i find much smaller forces than earier version but cannot explain the new (many test games now...

plasticpanzers

Playing at "normal" and my early Union army under McDowell sieged and captured the entire CSA "Army of the Potomac" at Manassas. Its Dec 1861
and I have taken about 8000 casualties, inflicted about the same and taken 38,000 prisoners. Virtually no CSA attacks at all.

plasticpanzers

After loading the 1.05 patch I could not help but notice (as the Union) that the CSA armies appear much smaller than
previous (not 2000 plus points everywhere) but only in the East and much less aggressive. Is it me or is there such
a major change in how they are running under Athena?

plasticpanzers

Wondering why Roanoke is just shallow sea rather than land that is invadible. Would seem by taking Roanoke and
the two forts there that it should be easier for the Union player to blockade the area.

plasticpanzers

I am bumping this up as i edited it with a more reasoned approach (us folks with older/poor eyes) and the tiny font used for messages/events
as is. apology for the bump.

thanks!!
