I do not know steam protocols, but if were a standard and not a steam install it would indicate the lack of a clean install. So I would recommend removing the game from the computer, restart the computer and reinstall.

Very interesting conceptually, it appears you are on to something. Nice integration of levels of command. I look forward to seeing your work up close.

I have finally found the discipline or is that call budgetary responsibility to keep my purchase of games to my time to play, almost. I am so glad that pbem finally became an option for how to play. While I still do board wargames, my friends are now almost all online with pbem play. The diminished ...

This is a nice beginning. Let me collect my thoughts and experiences and see what I can add. I actually like this game a lot and a few tweaks will do wonders.

The English Civil War needs some work to be more than a flawed gem. It is a nice game, but Ireland is not represented well, which is a personal concern as Cromwell kicked my family all the way to the New World. The naval war, as it impacted the English Civil War is well represent with regard to cont...

Col Ret - Hope you saw this suggestion?

Another thought, if the file is empty, then you may be putting his ord in a different folder than your game is using. If by empty you mean no files are present.

Durk

AI settings do not matter (much) for pbem games and can be ignored or left as is. AI would never make an ord if it sees and existing Ord. There are a couple of ways you might be getting double CSA ords, but the solution is simple. Before you put your opponent's ord into your folder, check your folde...

I do not know the answer, but I didn't want your message to get lost as someone might know. I think you are saying that twice the value returned was -71 even though not justified by the displayed numbers. If this is the case, my bet is that at some point in pbem play you used uncompressed files; tha...

The only time I have ever seen this message is when you did not provide administrative rights. Occasionally with a new install if you did not install as an administrator. But upon start up very commonly.

See private messages and we will figure how to get this to you.

These are both probability events. That is when you order a rail break a random number is generated to see if the break occurs.
Pillaging is more based upon the ratio of your forces and types of forces and the supply value of the region.
Unit types matter, too.

If it always crashes Sept 1915, then you might try this, don't make any move in that turn, just save and run. Are you making a selection of an option at that time? I do have one other thought. Perhaps if you are playing Ai you play several turns in a row. This does tend to fill up the buffers, so yo...

Belle Boyd like all spies can travel in green/green and pretty much to anywhere. She can be killed by a lucky cavalry unit with a decent leader. I use spies to clear away the fog of war. Even if you can see enemy forces' strength, there is a +/- value to the sighting. With a spy, you see through the...

While the Grand Campaigns have been well vetted for these kinds of technical glitches, players occasionally find issues like your in the scenarios Strangely, these are almost all naval problems. You can try using the 'T' key and 'W' keys to see if you can find it that way, but likely it is just no a...

I guess the answer is you should play me. I am terrible as the Red commander due to my lack of ability to get a political unit in all forces. The Whites do have something similar. If you can place a unit with the police ability, you will greatly reduce desertion of militia, then they can train up. I...

RUS Gold made the life of a White Commander hell. Before Gold, what you expected was easy, just march in. All is different with Gold in the South where you must eliminate the Red regional command center. You must put the Reds out of range of a regional commander to weaken them. On the other hand, Ts...

Well, not too smalllish, kind of like a normal corps: think Jackson and Longstreet. Fleets are big enough to beat a Union player who is to lazy or self satisfied to build any additional ships. They do have units added to the force pool, but if I remember correctly, without very much additional EP. Y...

It can happen. For it to happen, the government cards are important. If the blockade card goes the right way, then the CSA can play the two foreign concessions card. It is a probability even. And yes, if the Union keeps the two diplomats captured in the Trent affair, then perhaps foreign concessions...

Thank you, very useful and informative.

Sound very interesting to try.

By the way, the private message channel does work, it just seems like it does not because messages stay in the outbox for some time. Check your box to confirm. And tell me here if you do not have a message from me.

I really agree with ERISS - the game was designed for two white players. A compromise might be for both players to take a white faction and take turns playing the Reds. Just a thought Incidently Orso's solution is not as nice as shared hosting. Shared hosting has each player hosting every other turn...

Indeed a direct assault upon Boston might be suicide as you must eliminate the garrison or die. Better to take Dorchester Heights and then move into Boston

It no longer works or is not working. I cannot paste

By the way, this is why the 1776 scenario is so historically correct. 1775 is a bit of a major beast to win. The Americans win only if they play Washington's game at least as well as he did. With the 1775 start, the Colonial major army must be in New England as New England is the key to a new Americ...

This is a huge question which I will answer in part for now with a focus upon your specific questions. You do understand the key, Fabian tactics. How to do so is hard. Make sure you have at least one objective/strategic city in each of the four regions so you continue to receive reinforcements. This...

1776 is definitely more challenging as the British since the Colonial Army is much larger, better organized, and a more defensible posture. For a similar reason, the 1775 start is more challenging for the colonials. They have smaller forces and are more venerable. Of course the AI is as likely to ma...

Indeed, what Stratman is saying is, yes they can do it, but it would be a lot of work. You would need to chase down each unit and edit it to match the table top play. So hours.
Probably more practicably, just run the game battle and play the miniature battle. The results will usually be close enough.

The game is hosted by The Wargaming Club. https://thewargamingclub.online/
Come to the webpage and be invited into the Slack Chat.

PON usually has a suggested two day turn. Some are resolved a bit more quickly and slowly.

There are several nations open.

I am pretty sure the manual is referring to removing Army Command from a general by demoting generals. In other words, there is no way to make a two star general a one star general; however, you can make the Commander of the Army of the Potomac a corps or division leader under a new commanding gener...
