This sequence of settings gets you a list of your commanders: It is not further broken down into groups of all 3-stars, etc. and does not list seniority at all, but it is by General's stats. If you try to promote someone, the game gives you a warning if this conflicts with seniority. This is how th...
Oh give me a break. The leader interface works fine. What leader interface are you referring to? Because when I play the game, I do not have a way to sort by leaders, only by units (as Orso mentions above). Whereas in AACW I could actually just sort by leaders, so I could compare seniority and stat...

Which, if I may point out, is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Why they got rid of the leader roster in a game that is focused on leaders, is something I will never understand.
I'm not sure I understand why West Virginia had to be defined as a separate state at all. Missouri and Kentucky both allow creation of forces by both sides, yet the idea of Union recruiting in Virginia is a stumbling block for many people. I'm not certain, but I believe there are ways you could res...

I was just thinking that myself. Where are his guns?
McDowell created divisions in organizing his forces many weeks before 1st Manassas, and even Paterson organized his brigades into divisions. Whether congress put into law the military structure of the division in 1916 is inconsequential, as they were de facto a standard of US Army organization long...
That's not actually true. The Federal army at least did have divisions. Just because the game doesn't allow them until later, doesn't mean they didn't exist. The same goes for Corps In point of fact, the United States did not establish standing, organized divisions until 1916. While ad-hoc division...
The code for MTSG? It's in the engine. MTSG only occurs from and adjacent region. It will work even if the stack in an adjacent region is inside a fort or city. Considering a region in which you have one corps inside a city/fort and one outside. This region is attacked while your stack outside is i...
From the Wiki: http://www.ageod.net/agewiki/Combat_Explained#Marching_to_the_sound_of_the_guns "This concept covers the first stack picked. What about the next? If the stack is already engaged by an enemy, it will fight back against him, and that's it. If this stack is in defensive/passive posture,...
New Question: How does MTSG work when there is a corps/army outside and a corps or army inside of a structure in the same region? For instance, I have a Cav Corps that just got mauled by Bobby Lee. I was planning on having it retreat and sit inside a city that is defended by the army stack. If Lee w...
I wondered what the Raze City would do, so I tried it in a region with a plantation. The small town was removed but the effect of the plantation remained. So long term, they can only be captured. Short term, I believe that the extra GS is lost for a season if they are captured/raided. Thanks Gray F...
From the scripts which grimjaw posted, each side gets 10 CC's in their respective CC pools and 12 CC's are removed from the POW count. I guess the extra 2 CC are lost due to POW's being unfit for a return to service and/or subsequent desertion. What is odd to me--or maybe it is WAD--is that if I re...
Except for the obvious (both sides get conscript companies back), why does it cost NM? You'd think a prisoner exchange should increase morale and happiness among the population. Also, when I look at my decision it says that my "Conscript pool increases by 10 thousand" and then stops. It can't possib...
I wish I could blame that one on bad modding. But alas no. The only mods in the game were the addition of a couple of new generals and removing the event taking out Samuel Cooper.
So in my current PBEM with Wraith. My southern friend decided that in order to aid his re-taking of New Orleans he would order a drive-by of my position with his river fleet. No major damage done...except for one thing. Nathaniel Banks was in NOLA as an army commander. I had no corps attached to him...
You guys are not making sense. Who attacked in Fairfax on the second turn? McDowell or Johnston? If Johnston attacked on the second turn too, why the **** didn't you say that Wraith? There is no "tacking on" of movement plots. The only time the game engine plots the move of a stack is when that sta...
The simple answer is, if you do something dumb, you get disastrous results[SUP]1)[/SUP]. Here are the facts as I understand them: - McDowell was in the middle of a retreat across the Potomac, from Fairfax to King George.. Queensland.. ... what ever the region is with Washington DC is. - McDowell's ...
I don't suppose you cut off his river crossing attempt with boats? That might produce the results you describe, though, the amphibious assault would still be strange. When during the turn did the battle happen, on day 1? If you have a replay of the turn, watching it at the slowest speed might shed ...
To find out whether and how much a corps is receiving, select the corps stack and look in the bottom right. Above the supply ZOC, etc, there will be a tiny silver diamond marking that this is a corps. Hover over it and a tooltip will pop up telling you what benefit he has received. Hmm...I can't se...
Orso, if you just found a bug in the works, I might get myself and my opponents last few turns to you for a similar issue with regards to our original issues. Basically, Lyon attacked McCulloch with a division in Springfield, MO in Nov 61. He lost and is still trying to escape...it's March of 62 no...
What happened in this game? Obviously you've moved onto a new one, but I'm very curious to know what happened in New Orleans and if the CSA came out on top.
I really enjoy all of your AAR's! Thanks for doing them!
