Why not Manassas, Richmond, or two (one? three?) steps of seniority. A long list requires the Confederacy to play defense all over when the real goals were the opponents capital or army.

On December 8, Corps under Kearney opened battle against Edward Johnson' corps. Theophilus Holmes' corps from City Point provided support, while Lee's force at Manchester did not join in spite of desperate calls from Holmes, who took overall command when he arrived. Additional corps under Buford and...

By the end of November, 1863, all fronts seemed to be in a stalemate and ready to overwinter. In Virginia, the Confederate forces were stretched from Fredericksburg and Albermarle to Petersburg, with corps of two or three divisions in most regions. Union generals took notice of this and called for o...

On November 1, battle opened again in Hardeman County Tennessee between Grant and Joe Johnston. Johnston's force was heavily reinforced, and General Thomas' corps arrived in support of Grant, and the Union numbered almost 72,000 men against almost 56,000 Confederates. The Union lost over 22,000 men,...

On October 2, 1862, Nathaniel Lyon's Army of the Southwest finally gathered the courage to attack General Magruder's force at Fort Smith, south of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The attack came after a fleet of six ironclads under Admiral Porter had reached the area and could proved water-based artillery s...

After its victory at Culpepper, McDowell and Hooker followed Beauregard's retreating army into Albermarle County, Virginia where they ran into another of the great disasters of the war in a force of about 50,000 largely in a corps under Longstreet, who was not engaged in the previous battle. The fig...

On September 7, 1863, Hancock's corps caught up with the Confederate rear retreating from northern Virginia towards Richmond in Culpepper. Beauregard was leading the confederate force which consisted of 23,000 in three divisions under Early, Hoke, and Ruggles. Hancock was leading 4 divisions under C...

Really bloody and interesting... :thumbsup: I'd like to request a peek at the objectives page, please. Is there still a 60NM difference? [The NM difference is now 85 (149-64). I have no idea what to do about it except start winning battles, and I don't want to change my playing style (aggressive, a...

Napoleon tells us that "Geography is destiny", and it is through the crumbling extent of Confederate controlled geography that in mid-1863 Unionists were predicting the future demise of the Confederacy, even as Union newspapers decried the enormous loss of life in the war.

By early July, the corps under Milroy and Dodge had pushed the confederate forces out of the valley, although with no other significant battles. General Sykes was viewed as a slow campaigner, and found his services would be more highly valued garrisoning the capital, and he took over as a corps comm...

The 1863 campaign season in the West was delayed by bad weather and forces arranged in a perilous stalemate.

[I'd like to add one more note about generals and especially corps commanders like Kearny. I ignore the general's statistics as best I can, I'm not sure I should really know these things in a historic sense. I prioritize giving divisions to leaders with the highest seniority, and if a general leads ...

Lee did everything right and still lost. Nice work by Kearny. Each stack seems to have Divisions led by the usual 3-1-1's with one or two Divisions led by better commanders. If you took all of the better commanded Divisions and put them in one stack together with Kearny or Grant in overall command....

On March 9, General Lee brought half of his Richmond force towards Fredericksburg, meeting with Jackson's in an attempted follow-up of Lee's Richmond victory, totaling about 43,000 men. General Howard had taken command of the forces there, and had about 20,000 men, but General Kearney moved across t...

As winter moved along, the sieges of Washington and Richmond came to an end during February of 1863. General Pleasenton's cavalry division tried to move north from its place in the lines around Richmond to help deal with the threat of Virginia militia around New Market, Charlottesville, and Staunton...

Are you including the artillery when you say, "None of the support elements took any hits"?

tripax

I do not have the answer, but I have some thoughts. For what it is worth, most of my fixed DC support units were lost when you (Straight Arrow) stormed my capital. I've put support units into a division for one turn so that a commander wouldn't lose statistics in the next turn when their combat unit...

If you run the turn but don't have it pause for battles at all, I think the battle log is not created, but I am not sure.

tripax

Look at the actual !BattleLog file. I've studied a few. The hits are recorded one at a time and I've never seen negative hits on a unit that was eliminated. Firing stops when a unit leaves the battle. Unfortunately, since you have quite a long battle, the report is probably truncated. The graphic m...

After a restful new years day, Confederate forces attempted to dislodge the Union camp outside of Richmond (images here ) in a battle which saw the destruction of Evans' division. Union divisions under Doubleday, Ord, Meagher, and Parke performed extremely well. Ord's performance was a bit of redemp...

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm wondering if someone can help.

The regiment should already exist in Vanilla. My mod doesn't go to the company level except for a few places such as sharpshooter companies.

Installing mods from steam purchased games should work fine, right? The game folders are in the steam/steamapps folder, and everything can be done from there.

[Thanks Gray Fox and Cardinal Ape. Straight Arrow informs me the Confederacy has moved its capital to Atlanta, so I'm not going to get much of a head shot even if all of Virginia falls. Also, The Confederacy is up by about 60 NM (75 to 133 as of January 1, 1863), so if the Union eventually wins, the...
