So, what am I missing here? I see no target, engagement or to-hit bonus for the Corps level batteries. Perhaps this only comes into play when we get to the assault round of combat? But if so, the cannons should already have done most of their work. Supposedly, unattached corps-level artillery will ...

Nope.

It means just what the message says: Lyons can only move out if you have 42% or better military control in any of the surrounding regions.

IMHO the AI is mediocre at best. If you have any grasp of strategic movements it will pose no challenge. Cranking the difficulty only turns its soldiers into supermen. I'd recommend playing by email if you need a challenge. That being said, it is the best money I've ever spent on a game. I have to ...

I also just got turned on to this and am trying it out vs Athena as Union. Provides a nice CSA response to Union interdicting river crossings using small groups of gunboats/ironclads.

Curious, Did you check it against the v1.13d Public Beta (RC1a) release? That's a newer executable that now supercedes v1.13b. hold on... I'll provide you the v1.13d executable separately for your test... (keep your v1.13b however for reverting back) . Coastal arty now has 200 power instead of 30. ...

Gray, maybe the tooltip info could be changed?

Maybe related to showing replacements for Mexico as the Union.

Nice catch!

By current game design, it would be difficult to differentiate the loyalty shift rate by individual regions. Aside from a rather large memory hogging event file that would basically "pin" these loyalty settings in place by continuously sequencing thru the same resetting events, there would be no ot...

Ah this is a sore subject with me... The only thing that is imperative about Human vs Human house rules is that both sides fully agree what they are. If you can find someone to agree with then it really doesn't matter what they are!!! However my own personal opinion is as follows: This game is a re...

And realistically, since the Civil War was still being fought in the 1950s and 1960s in certain areas of the un-Reconstructed South, there should be regions which are largely immune to loyalty shifts in favor of the Union. Sections of Alabama and Mississippi should be all but impossible to shift to ...

Also, he can see both turns in the "save" folder. And I'm positive that I sent the .trn file both times. Hi Max, In my PBEM I just overwrote the earlier turn file with the new turn file and didn't have that problem. If you do that you shouldn't have two turn files in the Save folder. It's a good id...

Are you messing with me, Redeemer?

How can fleet units combine?

The "starting" low element transports are not "stupid". They start that way because that's the original starting strength of the unit historically. Unfortunately, the game itself can't replace missing elements of Naval units at this time. Currently by game design, there is no such thing as naval re...

Chertio: Have also seen this odd phenomenon. Have seen some CSA generals come down from Canada also. Tried to find some pre-war [Edit: excuse me, "antebellum"] command info on the group pictured.

From Houston to Richmond is around 1400 miles. From Saint Louis to New Orleans is around 600. An even greater factor than the dimensions of the area was the state of the communications at the time: unimproved roads (where roads existed at all), insufficient subsistence in many areas for even very s...

77NY, Thanks for the reply. I haven't built any southern river transports yet, so I guess they are the "stupid 2/5 transports." Why are they stupid and what does 2/5 mean? Both squadrons each have two elements of transports apiece for a total of 4 elements. And they are at full cohesion with no red...

As the CSA I am having difficulty building depots using river transports. I've tried building depots at Island 10, Columbus and Paducah, but each time the "build depot" button is grayed out. I'm using version 1.13b with quick fix 5. I've enough transports and loyalty, per the wiki: "Building a depo...

That would be a function of specific leader attributes not defensive ratings. Probably be a royal pain to implement, since all leaders would need to have that as an inherent "special ability" to get the result I had in mind. And how the AI would ever be able to manage that kind of nuance . . . the ...

Gray, I just started the KY April campaign and like it a lot. After 1.13b you spend most of 1861 jonesing for divisions. Good stuff.

Gosh I wish I did but host has all those files. I certainly understand your point that speculation constitutes a moving, uncertain target. Here's the trn file from a few turns later, but that prolly doesn't help, huh?. Not much. But you know what they say: never let the facts get in the way of a go...

Grant rolls right over them and eliminates them. Uncertain otherwise veteran CSA troops panic and stream out of their Davidson area entrenchments back to Rutherford in disarray. Longstreet and staff reluctantly follow. SkyWest, any chance you can post a screenie of the battle summary? Also, since o...

This would be a good solution. Maybe we'll see it in a future game. I sure don't expect Ageod to make a major modificaiton like this to AACW. Since we're talking about a wish list (AACW 2 or later patches) at this point, I would suggest factoring in leader defensive rating into entrenchments. So a ...

It's not something I can do by myself. AGEod has to do a significant rewrite of the game/data code and then there would probably be a column added to the "cities" tab of the scenario databases for "initial" entrenchment levels. That way when the intial scenario is "compiled" there would be an entry...

I found this question raised in an old thread but could not find out whether there was a resolution. Since the intercept order does not work for units starting in the same region as the enemy unit they might want to chase down (apparently WAD), how do players handle this? I'm thinking of situations ...

MT, how do you feel about Chertio's idea to either add automatic entrenchment levels to friendly units in Richmond or Washington or create a special "permanent entrenchment" feature? I think it's a good idea. Earlier in this (old) thread Pocus suggested that the level 2 fort was intended to represen...

Now I'm interested if anyone in game terms has had long seiges like the historical ones ? Four-months later... part bump, part AAR. :thumbsup: Just finished my first PBEM as CSA. Like you, thought I had a "brilliant" strategic vision :bonk: to fortify chokepoints: Fredricksburg, Richmond, Nashville...

Definitely recommend the game. Been playing it now for just over a month. Before AACW, Hearts of Iron 2 was my favorite strategy-level wargame. Terrific support/mod community here. Gray Lensman in particular is a tremendous resource for game explanations and he also plays an important role in patche...

I agree that it should be up to the game rules/mechanics to sort out "gamey" or "ahistorical" possibilities. I'm in the death throes of the Confederacy in my first PBEM, mid-1864. My opponent and I agreed to no "house rules" and I am extremely pleased and impressed with how entertaining the game has...

Gray- sorry, away from my PC. What is the starting CSA inflation rate in the 62 scenario?
