I have preliminary results for the first game of the Yellowhammer-Runyan99 match up in the second bracket.

Runyan's rating goes up to 1032, while Yellowhammer's rating drops to 1023.

These ratings reflect player strength ratings at the completion of the first bracket. They do not reflect the results of any games in the second bracket. I've done these rather hastily, and while I've exercised what I consider to be due diligence, there may be small errors. Any revisions will only b...

I'm a bit confused by the stats, gentlemen. As listed, it appears that the USA has won... and yet, Daxil has been defeated while playing as the USA. I've used the stats as listed below to calculate the ratings, except for swapping the VP values between USA and CSA. (In other words, I've swapped the ...

My apologies to you, if you've been disappointed because I haven't updated the ratings in many weeks. I dropped the project because I assumed that nobody was particularly interested in the idea. Why work on a project of little interest to anyone? However, lately I've received new motivation to updat...

... Some say it will add about 5% to battery life, and with a 7-9.5 hour estimate that is significant. I am thinking about getting a spare battery, but with a 9.5 hour life, one might be enough... I've determined how to convert the manufacturer's claims of battery life into an estimate of actual ba...

Thanks to both of you, Gray and Calvinus, for your advice, effort, and help! Your Alt+Tab suggestion was a good one, Gray, in dealing with the memory leak of Mae's Colonization game play, and so this was the first thing that we tried. (I'd never heard of the technique, until you suggested it. :) ) H...

G'day all, does anyone play AACW on a laptop? I can't imagine it's much of an energy hog, other than display? I'm thinking of getting a laptop to take on a 14-hour flight and subsequent travel and this would be a very good chance to get in a really good session of AACW. Am I going to get to play fo...

Would you please repair this thread by moving the discussion of artillery to either a separate thread, or appending it to an existing artillery thread?

Thanks.

a Combat Results Table, and the Diplomacy table... I've already told AM, but for benefit of those who don't know: many of the tables can be found in spreadsheet form in the "Modding" subdirectory of the game's program folder on your hard drive. That should suffice until additional appendices can be...

Gentlemen, this thread is intended for questions and answers dealing with material that's not in the manual . In other words, basic and simple stuff! I'm glad to see a lively discussion going on about artillery and so forth, but this is not a discussion thread ! If you have simple comments that you ...

What a superb thread! :) "Frontage" I believe is the mysterious issue. I'd intended to whip out the analytical toolset on the topic after "finishing" artillery; but it doesn't look like I'll need to. Someone's already done it... and done it much better than I might have! Major Tom, this is an excell...

Hi, Lew! Two significant ideas regarding AACW Artillery have recently been developed on these forums. You should know about these, because they're far from obvious. Here's the first. For a long time, many people had believed that there was a limit of four artillery per division. Common knowledge sai...

Per the changes for v1.13. 5.) Reworked the 6 lb Artillery to "TechUpg"rade to the 12 lb Artillery. Also removed the "TechUpg"rade for 12 lb Artillery. (They should remain 12 lbers throughout the war). How does this effect you analysis? and what does "reworked" mean. Are they harder or easier now? ...

This was my attempt at subtle humor. That post was in response to Jarkko, who's signature says something along the lines of "there are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who can't".

I think too many players waste too much time thinking of what would constitute the "perfect" division. If you're playing against anyone that's worth a dang....you won't have time to put that all together. I just buy the units I can afford...send them all to a rallying point...and then organize from...

I don't know just how bad ratings militia should have for them to not be superior to infantry. As it is, I consider it pretty much stupid (from a purely effectivenes point of view, no role-playing POV factored in :) ) to waster resources on infantry. The only thing you get is a bit better militia, ...

Indians and Partisans cannot take a city unless Loyalty in the region is greater than 50%.

I think my ratings may be off. We got the POWs backwards in game 1. I'm guessing it was like 200/600, john with the 600 taken. Interesting! I remember wondering specifically about that at the time, although I don't remember why. :) To avoid any confusion in the future, let's all agree that POW figu...
