That's the beauty of it. If you want to bypass fort, you have to scout with your cavalry ahead and make some MC in front of you. There are countless possibilities and neither strategy is the best. But relying on forts is a risky strategy because of the posibility of surender. I had a game as the Uni...

You have limited number of coton bales. Sometimes some of it goes bad and you get nothing. So, if you don't play the card, you are gambling for larger sum. In my experience, if you don't play cards at all, you'l be able to sell abot 20% of the cotton you have for 50 $.

I 'm sorry I mentioned supply wagons, I only assumed wagons have low evasion value and are bound to be blocked by fort. I was wrong about that. But there is a way to bypass forts. Forts exert increased ZOC value. But, if the force attempting to bypass it is not too big, they can march through enemy ...

Every strategy has an anti-strategy. If Beauregard had 200 instead of 81 cannons, Union would risk loosing an entire division to surender. An error CSA did in RL all to often.

ANd, If Bory ditched his supply wagons, he would be free to advance regardless of the stockade.

Factions will be playable, not nations?

Would be interested in playing as EE.

It's auto behaviour, no on switch. You can click on evade combat button if you don't want stack to join combat. Basis in history - Gettysburg battle is an example when mayor battle was triggered with smaller Corps starting the battle, and the rest of the Army following into it. Why would Corps join ...

Ace

It hasn't been formed properly yet. Give it few turns to receive replacements.

Ace

1- Find a way to avoid clutter when more than 2-3 stacks are in small region (smaller stack sprites or larger maximum zoom)
2- Better PBEM security
3- Fire and assault phase hits differentation in battle report, and inflicted hits by each unit in battle report

Ace

Getting curious how is this going. Some AAR info would be welcome as well

Ace

Thanks Altaris. This is awesome work. First impressions are this has BIG potential to surpass vanilla game in every aspect. Additonal resources suit modern warfare simulation much better that few resources available in vanilla version. Speaking of which, state funds, conscripts and WS are changed dy...

Ace

Shri, could it be an unwanted sideeffect of new vanilla retreat rules with no mandatory retreat to start province. They ussually function well and allow protracted battles on the western front.

Ace

Hi guys. The link in the first post has epired.

I used to wonder how useful are 6lbs until I looked a bit into battle logs. Once I looked under the hood I realised they are next to worthless. CSA 6lb will almost never hit on offense, and only rarely will hit on defense. Brigade 6lbs are essentially a dead weight. They will do some damage however ...

Ace

Gray, you failed to take into account frontage bonus generals gives in woods/plains. Also I think generals stats give only bonus to hit, there is no bonus to evade hits.

Ace

Gray, I can see you are a crack player...

Ace

Gray Fox is right. The best chance for the South to win is to try to grab DC. The alternative is to try to grab defensive positions in Virginia, and along Mississipi Ohio and Cumberland rivers, and play a waiting game. The flaw of the second approach is you give initiative to the opponent and give h...

Hi, since I started the poll about Grant, I might say few words. The poll is only the end of a long debate we had in beta where I argued that Grant stats should be lowered a bit (not too much, 6/5/3 sounds reasonable, I think Sherman and Jackson were actually best generals in the war from each side)...

Ace

Have you checked them the following trn. In a number of occasions I found units in a stack with freshly added HQ perform worse because HQ increases maximum cohesion points, but since the game for lot of tasks evaluate current/maximum cohesion ratio, net result is poorer unit performance till next tr...

You have traded with our worst enemy!

You are trading with our worst enemy!

comes to mind if there is a dedicated diplomatic window.

Nice AAR. It was quite a match, it seems. Looking forward to reading about your rematch.
I didn't had time to continue the tournament, but it is nice to read about ongoing action from time to time

Ace

Hi everyone, I wish to announce my withdrawal from the tournament. Sadly, my job/business obligations will considerably increase in the future (I couldn't had foreseen that when we started this tournament). So, when I realistically view my free time in the next year, I have to admit that I wouldn't ...

Ace

It must something that makes bears don't like me. I won't comment No1. About No2, I thought each hit is 30 men. That would make bit USA and CSA casualties of the mark. But, it's only in this battle, in other battles the numbers appear normal. This was a quick test with Nostra game files - where we c...

Ace

The tooltip keeps vibrating between region info and unit info when I put cursor little to the right of the unit. It was bug in cw2.exe pre-rc1 version (retreat fix exe) that was fixed in rc1. The casualties seem off. Look at the number of hits inflicted by CSA and men lost by USA in this screen:[ATT...

Ace

The most important thing, where you playing with 1.00 patch. It had a naval bug that caused fleets in defensive posture to fight with severe penalty. And AI was scripted to always attack Metz. That's changed in 1.01.

Ace

I thought this would be interesting self evaluating trivia. How would you rate your style of play, what stats would you give yourself? I would give myself 6/5/4, with reckless and fast mover traits. When I think of it, it's only slightly lower than Grant or Lee, I hope I am not too self-assured :D ....

Ace

You have to feel sorry for Skibear's draw. Going against former champ and eventually defeating him is not enough. He has to defeat him with bigger margin than mine vs Jim. It's like playing against Andre Agassi and comparing your score vs Pete Sampras playing in another bracket. It's like he is play...

Ace

On a contrary, you can update freely if you started the game with 1.01 beta version. You can even update if you started it with 1.00. Only in that case your ammunition wagons will be depleted since 1.01 increases their capacity.

Ace

Maybe AI does a portion of calculations during your planning?

Ace

I have no privileged information whatsoever. I analyzed battlelogs in the 1.05RC1 and I saw that the logs say no region to retreat to, will remain in province, while there is a number of 100% MC neighboring provinces to choose from. I classify such behaviour as a bug.
