Major Dilemma

..."And the Gen needs to be "Active", but how does a Gen that is "ot Active" become Active??"... The generals are subjected to an activation roll (of the dice) each turn to see if they are active. This roll is compared to the strategy rating of the general. There is nothing a player can do except to...

Major Dilemma

A brigade with open slots does not have to be inside a city to receive the reinforcements. I think they do need to be in a region with a depot but am unsure of that. You can also speed up this process by sending your single inf/cav/art units to them and combining them manually. Some of the infantry ...

Major Dilemma

If you want to avoid the penalty for promoting Lee to Army Commander give a couple units to Johnston and send him somewhere where he will lose the battle. Then his seniority will drop and presto Lee has seniority.

Major Dilemma

Hover your mouse pointer (tooltip) over your supply symbol of the force and it will display that particular force's rate of consumption.

Major Dilemma

Is it true the army HQ requires four cp's until it is combined to create an army?

Major Dilemma

The most valuable bit of info you need to get to your units is the cycle buttons E/R for land units and T/Y for naval units on your keyboard. These buttons will cycle through all your stacks which are active but have no orders. Without them it is a monumental task to complete a turn with any degree ...

Major Dilemma

Per Aryaman's suggestion, we are votingb on whether we should create a rule banning teleportation due to some gamey tactics that can be used. This would be applied towards Round 3, 4. I'd appreciate it if only surviving participants would vote. Right now, that's 10 votes. This is a public poll in t...

Major Dilemma

Mmm... not really as if you click on the form corps button the highest ranking two ** leader will be automatically selected for command. In fact you don't need to actually select any general in particular to have the create corps button enabled. Is enough to have an eligible ** leader on the stack....

Major Dilemma

Cannot be assigned as corps commander. Possible causes are: - Already in an Army or Corps - No Army in the vicinity to attach to - Armies at maximum Corps capacity - Must be rank of at least two stars - General is combined with a Division or Brigade - Corps formation not yet enabled for your nation ...

Major Dilemma

Gray, regarding the improved tooltip (great idea by the way! :thumbsup :) i think it would be better to just say "Leader is already in command of a division". (i think a leader attached to a regiment/brigade can be Corps leader but not 100% sure) The "In command of another force" line can be misgui...

3D photography was quite the rage back then. Many photographs were taken in 3D. For those interested there is a book which includes a 3D viewer:

Major Dilemma

If they have a strategy rating of less than three you are better off with the force being led by no general.. in my opinion. Those generals with a strategy rating of less than three are good for two things: Leading a force which will not go anywhere such as a major city defense force.. or as assista...

Major Dilemma

[color="Blue"]Moved a number of posts to the main thread in the history forum currently discussing the historical background of the civil war since they had very little to do with the game. Keep in mind; when posting in this forum, it needs to relate to the game; if you want to discuss the civil wa...

Major Dilemma

First let me say I don't build more than one depot, and that with the riverboats rather than the supply wagons. So I may once again be giving you incorrect and wrong advice but since you asked I would suggest you boost your rail and river transport capacity before embarking on a depot building proje...

Major Dilemma

It can get a little difficult at times to "capture" the tooltip, however it helps to go into the "Media" tab of the "Options" box and set the "Tooltip Delay" to High (all the way to the right). That'll slow the tooltip appearance down. The rest is up to your nimble fingers. Thanks I'll copy and pas...

Major Dilemma

Oh good I'm glad i don't have to re-install.. As for the Beauregard example he has 6 strategy in that game. So do the numbers make sense? How does it calculate out when beauregard has 6 strat? Should he have a 20 cap with one other brigadier general? I take it he gets a plus two from the six strat? ...

Major Dilemma

Hmm I re-read page 22 of the manual it say 16 is the max.. Beauregard has 16 to start and since the army HQ he is combined with requires four should he start with 8? He is three stars so he gives 12 right? subtract four for the HQ and the stack with just him should be 12 minus the four right? But he...

Major Dilemma

I tried to use the faststone program but the screen shot did not show what the info is when I hover the mouse pointer over the stack since by the time I take the screen shot I have moved my mouse to operate the faststone software. How do you capture the data revealed by the tooltip? Thanks. I do not...

Major Dilemma

I do have Lee with 24 cp's for his stack. Needless to say I was quite pleased. I have often got the Army to 23 but only once to 24. I think it may have to do with his strategy value. (I use random generated ratings). I do have the game saved and I have installed that FastStone image viewer program b...

Major Dilemma

Glad you cleared that up. I did not know division leaders lend their full cp's to a corps stack. Probably because I never put divisions within a Corps. (I rarely keep them in the same region as a corps either). I should not have spoken about it to confuse someone. On a related note: How is it I can ...

Major Dilemma

There is a lot of information to cover there and it needs to be sorted out. Divisions require 4 cp's this is true. You can satisfy that requirement by using two one star generals or one two star general. * provides 4 Cp's ** provides 8 CP's *** and **** provided 12 CP's With a division the unit is o...

Major Dilemma

Aside from faster rail repairs is there any benefit to including an engineer in your force?

Major Dilemma

You have to buy (build) the HQ in the reinforcements menu. Go to the books on the bookshelf and open the menus. HQ's take time to build. Once you build it you can strategically relocate it to where your generals are or to any region you want.

Major Dilemma

They provide the pontooner skill to the whole stack, enabling faster river crossing.

Major Dilemma

Me again. Thanks for the clarifications. So I played both tutorials and Bull Run. I figured the 24 turn Western campaign would be a good next step in learning. Some questions: -Are all the starting units pretty much the best setup, or is tweaking needed? -I noticed that no corps existed (except the...

Major Dilemma

I have a theory as to the prime force behind the terrible conflict which is far enough removed from the ususal pattern of debate to be of interest: As the old saying goes "follow the money". In Europe the bankers, the moneykeepers, had much experience pulling the strings behind the scenes for their ...

Major Dilemma

No matter how many pages of statements indicating total dedication to the "cause" of slavery it should nonetheless be obvious the institution's days were numbered. It was politicized by both sides and those in the south who yet had a vested interest in its perpetuation were naturally outspoken and w...

Major Dilemma

What will be the changes / features of the new patch?

Major Dilemma

I'll not be associated with those who believed it was a lost cause. That's what you get for compartmentalized learning. Unfounded associations. Misunderstandings are then inevitable.

Major Dilemma

What happens when one individual attempts to take the sovereignty of another? Either he takes it or authoratative bodies and structures are created to prevent that from happening or....if he believes the authorities are interfering with his right to assume sovereignty over others, he rebels and cla...
