So this has driven me up the wall for the two games that I've had this happen in: Can we have the dialogue box report when artillery that is bombarding/gets bombarded and is destroyed? I had the guns in Norfolk bombing out into the James, and a USN fleet sailed by and get completely destroyed, but i...

I would definitely use the political options, especially early in the war when the money is greatest for the CSA. In my current PBEM, in the two times that I've been able to use it, combined with one great roll on the blockade, I'm up to +44 FI. I got a bad roll on the last blockade, which cost me -...

Is this save game compatible?

I also remembe...

Well, that renders my entire western plans and forces for those areas completely ineffective and effectively worthless for another year.

What's the point of even having those units (ie, those irregulars etc) available for purchase if they're completely ineffective for years?

Just a bit more information about the situation: I had a task-organized division for the operation: Leader, 3 CAV Squadrons and a CAV Artillery Squadron. Apparently, these forces were rebuffed by a lone militia regiment... then they were shooed away by a larger force (of infantry). As it is, my guys...

To add my own questions about the destruction of depots to my Honorable Opponent's: When the depots are blown, I'm assuming that any and all supplies of the various types are lost, and not evacuated... is that the case? I really don't want to blow a depot (other than an enemy's way behind the lines)...
