I have learned that women in nightclubs don't care about the Civil War.

Put a bunch of gunboats in Hampton Roads and be happy.

You'll be unhappy against a human, if you try blocking up close with gunnies. Brigs are quick to build and relatively cheap, even for the CSA, if he wants to spare the shekels. Once the Brig hits the water, it's bye-bye gunboats.

Some players like to create a huge Union fleet. I'm not one of them. I divide up the Blockade Squadrons that you are given between the two blockade boxes. If a squadron needs a few extra ships to reach max strength, then I'll leave it in a port to fill out with replacement chits first. That's all t...

From an old AACW thread, I just don't understand Supply (a few caveats here, but the essentials still hold, I think): ********** First, read the Supply Primer so handily stickied [N. B.: AACW]. Now, in a nutshell (I know the Union; the Southern mileage may vary): Let's take a certain unit you get in...

If people just admitted that slavery was the overriding motivation for the Civil War, then we can move on. They werent fighting over tariffs in Bleeding Kansas or John Browns Raid. Then theres Howard Zinn who believes that the Civil War was a plot by capitalists to prevent a "peoples revolution". T...

Well....the title says it all really. I copied the game from C:\Games to C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\Wars of Napoleon and still no luck. I am wondering if it is pathfinding. Install the game directly to the path of your choice. I never install games to the default path, but that's me, but.....

If this is possible, how likely is it because of an exploit? If it happens because of an exploit, how sorry should we be that it doesn't jive with the event? That said, you might be right, maybe the condition should include if McDowell has X units in the Richmond region/ Personally, I think that th...

I've been giving this a lot of thought and Yes, playing the CSA is just like playing Japan in War in the Pacific: AE:

+10 on entrenchment, IIRC, and halves river crossing times.

GraniteStater

Yeah......

and I like elite brigades. Rally 'round the flag, boys!

I don't even know if you can do that. You didn't used to be able to merge service units with Divs. If so, maybe that's a hint...

Ya gotta use a Phillips head.

I'm getting a 404 using MS Edge and Chrome, vicberg.

GraniteStater

Naah, it's cool. You're already en route. You've travelled that far, why can't it be 'in the bank'?

GraniteStater

Not gamey at all. It's understanding the rules and mechanics (experience helps) and using them to best effect. Myself, I kinda used these, but your small essay here is highly instructive.

So, thanks!

You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts. You zhust wait until we bring ze benefits of ze Revolution to you! What's that? We have l'empereur now? Never mind.

GraniteStater

Yay!

"Of course I am a Frenchman, you silly person! Why do think I am speaking with zis outrageous accent? Now go away before I taunt you some more!"

GraniteStater

1.02 just came out, so looks like you might want to go from there, vicberg.

Respects,

GraniteStater

Also, the exit-point of Fort Clark IIRC is wrong.

Yes, change that. In an 1862 start, there are three USN frigates parked there, which can't go anywhere.

GraniteStater

Aw, geez. Makes a granite guy soften up a little bit...

but, thanks, GF.

GraniteStater

You're a great guy and a helluva player.

GraniteStater

SURRENDER Just sent an apology to havi and fiddler25 and to vicberg - can't go through with the PbeMs anymore, just too much piling up in RL. There are priorities, after all, especially career and the people in your life. I'm satisfied with the events in both games with havi and fiddlers25 - I think...

It looks like the western boys won't be able to tramp their way up to the Grand Review.

And then they had to walk home from D. C.!

P. 96 from the Civil War 2 manual: As long as an element is not totally destroyed, it may recover hits by filling its ranks with replacements drawn from the replacement pool during the Hosting phase, if the element didn’t move during a turn. This is in addition to recovering Cohesion. If you choose ...

GraniteStater

Then that obviates Historical Attrition. My only real comparison is AACW/CW2, and you can get Replacements only at a Depot with H. A. ON in those games.

What's the manual say, or can the Devs give us a ruling on this?

In the end, what the program does is what the program does...

You're on, O Most Scriptful One.

This should be fun.

You talkin' to me?

If so, what the hey, why not, love to. I have played the CSA before in an AACW PbeM - I inherited it in the tournament - man, did that guy love Horse Artillery...

GraniteStater

I don't think you've been playing this game for a very long time. We had a tournament here in AACW and CSA players more than held their own. Back in 1.03, havi was a newcomer against me, but he learned really, really fast and lost very narrowly in Jan 1866. If you think the Union 'will win quickly a...

GraniteStater

Hey, it's your mod. you can do what you want. However... There's little to no room for error. No, I've seen it more than a few times. The CSA player can leave something open or made a bad physical move, and he can recover without much difficulty. You really don't seem to understand that the average ...
