Yes, no problem, the games are exactly the same, only the texts will differ Thanks! Now the problem is how to do a PBEM game? I have AGEOD's Civil War game and it seems easier, that is a relative assessment. If I rename the trn file only the first 3 letters display. I hate to say it but the PBEM sy...

Capt Cliff

First what is the most current version for both the English and French games?

Are the English and French versions compatible, meaning can an English player play against a French player?

Capt Cliff

A-ha! Good thing I'm at the end of September in my game, then. I'm getting way too excited about the idea of efficient military organization... :neener: Keep and eye peeled in the reinforcement section for armys, they are a unit. Build them ASAP and as many as you get. For some strange reason the C...

Capt Cliff

Ummm .... point of order! Just how could the Union fit so many ships into the James River?? So there's no stacking restrictions!!?? An the south built 13 ironclads!!??? OMG that is so unhistorical that I wonder about the game.

Capt Cliff

... And the drama around the 1.16 patch was poisonous, in my opinion and likely soured some nascent "veterans." Here's to better days. Regards. Poisonous??? :blink: What the .... you talking about. This posting by you is poisonous. People who take the time to bring up a point of order or something ...

Capt Cliff

No too much along that route. Fort Pickens maybe. Is anything left of Vicksburg, since it was a siege?

The only "safe way" to roll back is to do full uninstall/reinstall.

Ah, thanks for the update and the instructions!!

Capt Cliff

That's quite unfair. AGEOD has been patching (most of) its games extensively, and AACW has been patched quite regularly, even a couple years after it was out. As far as this specific bug is concerned, as it applies to ALL AGEOD games, I am pretty sure it will be patched. Being unfair has nothing to...

No, people would play it but with a bunch of house rules.

Capt Cliff

I really hope this is something that would get a quick fix? :confused: Im currently in my first PBEM and this bug could ruin a game in some circumstances. :bonk: I doubt AGEOD will spend the money on a patch. I too am disillusioned about certain aspects of this game. But having no ammo consumption ...

Capt Cliff

The SleeStak's advice is good. Two divisions must be sufficient to resist without problems. In addition, try pile up some 12lb guns for those divisions as they are the best for defense. You may also put a gatling gun. It will wreak havoc among enemy ranks... :w00t: Sound advice guy's but that's a l...

Capt Cliff

Well Porter made the run with no problem!! BUT ... the CSA AI is obsessed with Fort Pickens, like WTH were the designers thinking!! Bragg is attacking Fort Pickens with a force of strength 1200+, with Longstreet and other top commanders. This is the second time I caught the AI doing this. The first ...

Capt Cliff

With Fort Jackson and Fort St. Phillip taken New Orleans can receive supply by sea but if there are Ironclads in the river you won’t be able to land. You may have to take Fort Pike, up to the North East of N.O. and move overland to capture the city. It is that or wade through the swamp to get there...

Capt Cliff

The best way to take forts is direct assault from the sea. Load your division onto ships, sail ships next to fort. Next round, send out troops in assault posture. The normal CSA garrison is 1 inf element, 1 fort batteries, and 1 shore batteries (3 total elements). No problem for a good division. Re...

Capt Cliff

I used three Divisions in the invasion. Two with 3 inf brigades and a arty and one with 2 inf brig and 2 cav. I used one division with both arty and moved it down to one of the forts. It started at strength 350 but when it arrived at the fort it was strength 50. Like what the hell happened? Was it t...

Capt Cliff

LOL!! Ok, I took New orleans ... WOOT!! :thumbsup: The ironclads never appeared. But for some reason there were a lot of troops the city or just appeared there magically. Now what do I do about the two forts at the mouth of the river? Historically they were abandoned, due to being out of supply, tro...

Capt Cliff

Are the ironclads in the same river region? They can prevent landings. I am not sure or can't remember. I moved in adjacent to New Orleans and tried to disembark my troops, I don't think I used the assault button. The next turn I was still adjacent to New Orleans but 3 ironclads appeared at the mou...

Capt Cliff

Has anybody captured New Orleans the way Farragut did historically? I just checked the CSA units for my current game in Jan 62 and the CSA has 2 ironclads in the lower Mississippi. I have 3 armored frigates (protection of 6) at Fort Jefferson with an invasion fleet, but they will be no match for the...

Capt Cliff

Ironclads trump every other ship type, seemingly. If you don’t have any and the enemy dose you can forget about invading. Armored Frigates are no use against them, either. This is a game changer!! If this is true then there needs a way to skirt forts with Union ironclads, the avoid combat button is...

Baltimore has sufficient supply that if they just needed a fill up, they would have by now.

Yes, it's damage. But the damaged wagon's carry the same amount of supply unless it's per wagon in the unit description.

Capt Cliff

Hi Capt Cliff! Take a look here . ;) Thanks Ethan! But I've had 4 almost depleted wagons in Baltimore for 4 turn and they have not received any supply. Now they are inside the city, should they be outside? What I see is the wagon but it shows about 10% blue and 90% red. Is the red damage? If so the...

Capt Cliff

I read somewhere in the rules or maybe it was a game tip, shown while the game is processing, that if you move supply wagons back to a large city with a depot they will refill themselves. Is that true? If so do you need to do something, click a button or what ever? I have 4 wagons in Baltimore and t...

Capt Cliff

October 61 ... and Corps in March. The leader must be activated to do so.

Capt Cliff

I won't ask why you want them in the Gulf but you can get them there much easier by moving them to Chicago and down the river than clearing out all of the forts. From New York to Chicago takes about a month with good weather and about another month to month and a half, perhaps two, down to New Orle...

Capt Cliff

How can I move Ironclads to the Gulf from the Northeast without getting them beat-up by every fort they pass?? I made sure the fleet was not set to bombard, but still the forts fire on them. That seems a bit excessive. Gun's at this time had limited range and a ironclad should be able to navigate th...

I am playing with the 1.15 game patch. But I see people talking about the 1.16rc4a patch, where is that located and what's the difference between the 1.15 and 1.16rc4a patch. Is that a Beta patch?

Capt Cliff

I have been play the Union but the funky AI which sends units higgley-piggley into Union territory is getting tiresome.

So ... CSA vs the AI or USA vs the AI?

Capt Cliff

Ok, I am trying to take New Orleans but my troops won't disembark. I order them to and nothing happens. I sailed up the river past the forts and 3 CSA ironclads. I am amazed that the CSA can build so mainly ironclads (there are 4 off Norfolk) when historically they had a hell of a time with the ones...

Capt Cliff

Ok, I just lost Fort Pickens to a land attack!! Again this is an impossibility due to the bottle neck assaulting troops would have to go through. http://filmnorthflorida.com/photos/location/Gulf-Islands-National-Seashore:-Fort-Pickens:-Aerial This is another Fortress Monroe problem. No way in hell c...

Ok, I know the AI get's a bonus but does it get a movement bonus? It's April 62 and Sibley is wandering about in Missouri with a single brigade. He starts in Eire MO and moves to Perry MO in one turn ... 15 days. When I move a Union force of just one brigade commanded by Lyon from Eire to Perry it t...
