Well... Grant was there too.

This must be in that two hour space between 3 and 5 am when no traffic is out on I-95 near D.C. then.... otherwise figure that to the outer Beltway and 3 hours from there to downtown.

The Wilderness Road State Park in Virginia (near Cumberland Gap) will be hosting their annual "Raid at Martin's Station" this weekend. :indien: From the www.martinsstation.com website.... "Join us as we slip into the shadows of Virginia’s 1776 Wilderness. You will see and hear history come alive as ...

I must say I'm impressed with the quality of the AARs. Some of the historical maps used make you feel you're actually reading some real headquarters discussions accounts. Also, the generals really explain what they're up to, what they thin, what they worry about... You can actually understand how t...

They work through lunch so it only takes half a day.

Methinks Pocus must be paid by the patch instad of by the hour.

Historic war-time bios seem like overkill to me. If you really want the information there are literally dozens of sites online that have it.

Besides, how would you do a controversial officer like Sherman?

LMUBill

Yuo want war bios for the current game you are playing or the the "real-life" war? Why would you want the latter if you are playing in a game where what they did in "real-life" will probably never happen? Now if it were possible to have war bios for the current game showing all of your victories/bat...

I played (almost) every small scenarios on both sides, and neither achieved a victory nor lost: always stalemates. Sometimes I played very poorly (especially as the CSA) and was constantly defeated in the single battles, but nevertheless the scenario ended with a stalemate. Playing the Gettysburg s...

:niark: My first attempt to take Prestonburg (Floyd) was at the end of 1861 and my invasion fleet got stuck in the ice on the river. They almost all starved to death before I was able to march them home! :eek: Ray (aka LAVA) Wow! The Levisa Fork River there is about 50 yards wide and 10-15 feet dee...

Question: I thought the Army of the Potomac was a Union and not a CSA army... Is there a way we could get this one put into the FAQ? I've seen it in about 10 different threads. It is kind of an obscure fact. To answer this question.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Potomac_%28Confederate...

Yeah, but does he improve your Fog of War in your favor or the other sides? It is Pinkerton we are talking about.

LMUBill

Any chance of making this optional? Or at the very least put it at the bottom of the tooltip so other information is not hidden?

LMUBill

It's called a train. The Confederate player has access to them. I like how most generals start in the capitol, and the player gets to decide where to send them. That's good game design. Force the player to make decisions. Starting generals like Zolli in Tennessee just locks the players into a histo...

Of course there's going to be snow on the ground way down south in the 1860's..... don't you know the earth was a frozen ball of ice in space before we started all that global warming?

Thomas should probably be available a few months earlier as well. He had a hand in the battle at Camp Wildcat (even though he wasn't personally there, he was on the way) and led the Union forces at Mill Springs in mid-January, 1862. (against Zollicoffer, who also should start earlier and in Tennesse...

LMUBill

Yeah, and it looks like Louisiana and Texas are not as well railed as the game makes them, either. Hmmm. This rail to Knoxville from Ky is significant IMO, as it essentially opens up a major invasion route into the south that did not exist historically. Yes Burnside did it, but he had a hell of a t...

5. In my game I don't have any issue with resources - I have huge stocks of war supplies, gen. supplies and ammo. Why did this happen, the CSA had resource problems historically IIRC. Actually there were enough resources. The problem was in transportation. The road/rail/shipping infrastructure was ...

LMUBill

The railroad from Knoxville to Lexington wasn't built until the 1880's, That is when they dug the railroad tunnel under Cumberland Gap. The Southern Railroad, (actually Cincinnati and Southern) which goes from Lexington to Chattanooga was built about the same time. One cool thing about the Southern ...

Hardcover. I use it for a coffee table if there is not a coffee table around.

Sabine City and the battles and blockading activities at Sabine Pass are very well known, and maybe the whole province should be called Sabine since the large Sabine Lake and the Sabine River are of course also there. Also, the railroad (I listed the name in another thread), stopped in beaumont and...

Could you possibly put in the message text when a General is killed. I was playing the Shiloh scenario last night and there was a battle with Thomas vs. a cavalry unit led by Forrest. When the battle results screen came up the leader's picture was of Wharton (and his name was there too) but next to ...

Ever since I applied the latest patch when I play the Shiloh scenario and make McCernand a corp commander his "face" appears on the counter for that corp until I go to the next turn. After that the info panel still displays "McClernands Corp" and his picture appears there, but on the counter it is t...

Thanks. Well I'm no expert either on the Civil War. I mentioned the Wilderness campaign because I think it's the one shown in the movie "Gods and Generals" (superb movie by the way!). Basically the rebel forces manage to surprize the yankees by doing a force march through the woods unnoticed. That ...

don't forget that names as they were written is not always how they are to be written now (am I clear :) ). But agreed, we have made several typos! True. Nashville's original name was Nashborough. It was changed sometime during or after the Revolutionary War to Nashville because of the anti-British...

If you want some historical accuracy the most notorious of the bushwackers around here was Champ Ferguson . But if you include him he lived along the TN-KY border (and has historical markers in both states) so you would have to tweak the rules about being in a home state giving him an advantage.... ...

It was about 50/50 support. Typically you would have one side's forces move in and all of their supporters would come out of the woodwork. Once they left or were run out and the other side came in then all of their supporters would come out of the woodwork.... and usually went after the other side's...
