Oops, Sorry Gray, just noticed your note 1:

Sorry to throw another spanner in the works, but think it does need accounting for. I have seen no sign of any consideration for replacement of losses (Expected / Historical), even through 1861 these losses were, and are likely to be in any game, quite significant. This is especially true if played ...

Thanks for the quick response, pretty much confirms what I suspected, that with two leaders available, you are actually better off linking the brigade to the subordinate leader, rather than the one that will be Force commander, even if they have poorer stats. Brigade will get bonus from Force comman...

Still fairly new to this game, and have a few questions on the use of Brigade Commanders, and their effects. Not how to use them, I am OK with that, it is just where there are specific benefits. I have not found any information on this either in the game documentation, or in this forum. Examples 1) ...

Thanks for the replies Coregonas, and Soloswolf. Starting to get a much better idea of how these things work now. Is not a problem once you understand it, but with very little information given during game, and what there is is easy to miss, it can really screw up your plans if you are not expecting...

Have done some further testing, figures agree with scripted values Major Tom has found. Was aware of effects of Capital move, and Steel Mill In Richmond, and had discounted these. Main discrepancy downwards appears to be associated with Bond Income. Had not thought to check actual income reported fr...

Deliberately did absolutely nothing during these turns. No Industrialisation No River transport No Rail Transport No replacements No reinforcements No Division creation After first turn No Draft, Financial, or Political options Did not even move units Turn2-3 ended up with ~70K money less than expec...

Just tried a quick test last night Turn one went maximum on both Money and Drafts, all options, did nothing else, no industry, no rail transport, no river transport, just hit next turn. Ran through same way for first four turns. Differences between predicted balances, and actual balances next turn w...

No no other expenses at all, Just one division to be paid for. Don't normally spend anything on Industrialisation, or Rail/River until much later in game, concentrate first on Troops, and Ships as CSA.

Have often had suspicions about money handling, having left enough for expected end of turn costs, Divisions, Ecconomics etc, found some divisions not paid for at end of turn. Have usually put this down to repairs on Warships Rail lines etc. But one game I had left around 270 money at end of turn th...
