I thought this would be an easy question to answer, but I haven't found it. Playing Union v. Athena, early 1861. The same turn I sent garrison troops to Norfolk, CSA sent in some Cav and Militia to take the town. All arrived more or less together, fought to a draw, and my boys ended up beseiged in N...

Thanks Chuske! Very valuable summary of resources.

This is great stuff, and just what I was hoping for.

Thank you. What would be your priorities as the Union player (waiting a turn for the penalty to go away).

How long does that last?

BTW - is there any way to change a unit name (not the force name on the tabs)? There are so many 1st and 2nd this-and-thats it's hard to find the right one in the roster. Thanks!

Oh. Well, as Sterling Hayden (playing the Police Captain in Godfather, part 1) said: When you gotta go, you gotta go.

If I recall correctly, at the end of that little rhyme, doesn't Jim look like a jigsaw puzzle with a coupla pieces gone? I thank you for the sentiment though. Uh, I know this is kinda late, but I just joined the forum. I believe the jigsaw guy was actually named Leroy, as in 'Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown'...

Thanks for the quick reply, Captain! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Being immodest, I chose the full KY campaign as my first game (Union, normal difficulty). :wacko: Having watched several "Let's Play" YouTubes and browsing the forum daily, I have some confidence in my ability to deal with the basics. BUT - on the third turn, I was informed that Texas is fighting se...
