I think I have a similar problem with my PBEM, my blocade runnners seem to bringing in MORE war supplies even though the blocade is 45% (was previously about 6/4 WS in the Atlantic and Gulf respectively, now is more 8/6 WS).

Edit - latest save attached.

AACW runs fine with my NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT (256mb) graphics card on my 64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium.

I will strongly second this recommendation. My first two PBEM games were a complete waste of time. As a newbie, I went the historical route of calling for volunteers with $1000 bounty. Both my opponents went full mobization with maximum income. So my choice of volunteers provided 256 conscript poin...

The supply phase is split in three segment. In each segment supply can be pushed up to 5 regions away from a stock to a destination (and each nation has several dozens of stocks to move to needing destinations). So if you have 2/3 and not 3/3, the last segment will be done by chariot and not rail, ...

Thanks for the change!

I would not recommend letting the AI have a slight fog of war bonus, certainly not at Normal aggressiveness or above, as it seems to go wild on the offensive and completely neglect it's defences. I did this in a Union game against the CSA AI, and I walked into Richmond with each in 1862, while the A...

PJL: Hope I didn't offend you, sorry. The double-click on new units listed in the scholl at the beginning of eack turn does not automatically shift you to the position of these new units. Pocus: I am merely suggesting it would save some time if it would do that. I am talking about the red script th...

Yes ... great idea. I've wished that myself!

You can do that as well by just double clicking on the message.

Just wondering, due to the WEGO system it is impossible for the non-host to cheat by redoing a turn again, but this isn't the case with the host. As far as I know there is no way of checking whether the host has just saved it once or several times (by going back one turn and redoing his move)? Not s...

PJL

For me, the most important aspect is the turn-based WEGO system. There is no reason to use any other system with a computer. Turns are much more tense and realistic when both sides have to try to out guess their opponents plans. Second is the dedication of the Devs to their games. So many Devs seem...

Naval engineers are very useful if you want ships repaired quickly I find. Don't understand why anyone would build sailors though, if the ships that are built are automatically manned when ready.

Heh Operation Obtaire - would make a nice twist to all those hypothetical WW2 scenarios of Operation Seelowe/Sealion.

Another question about divisional formation costs -are they incurred BEFORE the planned production / income is done for the turn or afterwards. For example if I have 5 WS currently in stock but say 40 can be produced this turn, but have 3 divisions that still have to be formed, then I can only build...

Each brig has a transport capacity of 1. That means that it can hold 1 money or 1 war supply each successful blockade run. If you have 10 brigs, they can bring back a maximum of 10 items. If they are in a 20% blockade box, they will only bring back a maximum of 8 items. The goods your blockade runn...

PJL

Talking of ammo and supplies, I've done some quick maths, and have worked out that the Union can supply for each turn about 100 divisions with supplies, and enough ammo for 25 battles. For the CSA that figure is 70 and 20 respectively. With such high figures (especially for the USA), it makes the wh...

PJL

Isn't it possible for the divisional costs to be recorded in the various screens (as with all the other costs), otherwise it's going to be bit tedious trying to remember how much you should have left over for each turn. Also, I thought only creating the division itself had a cost, once you have it f...

OK, thanks for the info.

On the tooltip it says they can recruit new conscripts on a regular basis inside a level 5+ city. What I want to know is if the recruitment increases if you put him inside a bigger city (ie he recruits twice as much in a level 10 city than he does in a level 5 city)?

PJL

Thank you so very much. This information was exactly what I was trying to ascertain. For additional clarification on Divisions above am I understanding correctly that the limit of 18 elements in a Division includes the individual elements of the brigades themselves? That looks like what you said, b...

PJL

The basic army structure in AACW is as follows: 1. Elements - the smallest discreet block in the game. Basically equivalent to a battalion of 1000 infantry and cavalry. 2. Brigades - the smallest independent units in the game (you can't split brigades into each of their elements). Can be anything fr...

Just wondering if you can an extra option in the user CP section to view the user info (username, place, no of posts etc) on the left hand side, instead of as across the top. I've seen this format on various other vbulletin boards, so it shouldn't be a problem.

PJL

If you're worried about new / unlocked units, then the message log at the bottom is your friend, they always tell you when they are available / unlocked. That plus the fact they always tell when a unit has gone to it's destination means I always go through the log after I've gone through the main th...

I'll be interesting in playing once the new division HQ creation is fully sorted out. The big problem I guess is that I'm in Europe (UK), so in a completely different time zone to you.

PJL

the conversion rate from militia to conscript is rather low and you don't have an hand on it anyway... so yes theorically you can have an infinity of militia changed into regulars with this process. This is not different from the BOA militia changed to Continentals then to Trained Continentals. Is ...

Redoing all the CSA railroads is all well and good, but what about doing the same for the USA ones as well? That would seem fair really.

PJL

I suspect a lot of the reasons the CSA is easier than it should =is because the AI/players are blocading it efectively. I'm in a CSA game right now and WS is the most precious commodity right now. With a 20-25% blocade since the start of the war (currernt turn is Sep 1861), I'm only getting 40-50 a ...

In the reinforcement section on the ocean going naval tab there are various oddities going on. Firstly the brig type builds for the Deep South region are duplicated (3 are listed instead of 1). There are also 3 Steam Frigate builds, and 2 Frigate builds. On the other hand I can only build Transport ...

One thing I've found that helps is that once I've done all the units on the front line (east to west), plus the naval units, I then go through all the messages - I find it much more useful in picking up information on when new units are nearly finished, units that have reached their desitnation, etc...
