This sounds a bit odd. Normally, army stacks are extra likely to MTSG and the battle CiC is always the army stack commander, provided that they in the battle province or next to it. It was a bit unclear in your post. You are putting combat divisions in your army stack, correct? If it is just Grant a...

Your memory is off by a year. Linclon published the proclamation in September of 62, following the battle of Antietam, although it did not go into effect until 1 January 1863.

The new engine should be using the PBEM++ system from Matrix/Slitherine So what is ++ about PBEM ++? I was having a thought about victory conditions. The current game really does not penalize a turtleing North. A player can sit on his hands into 63 and build up a huge material advantage, and then s...

My understanding is that the call for Vols is primarily dependent your NM. The amount you pay boosts the effect, but if you are at 135, an no bonus call should still net you a nice crop of conscripts. If you were cash rich and conscript poor, I would do a high bonus, but it sounds like that is not y...

When placing the mouse arrow over an area and pressing 7, the text at the bottom of the tool tip states: Frontage Width (in points) Line O:48 – D:48 Support O:48 – D:48 Does this mean that up to a total of 48 line units and 48 support units can be counted in a battle? Or does it mean that a frontag...

Does ingame light arty have a smaller frontage quota than other types?

A screen shot or battle log would be nice.... My understanding and play experience are that leader seniority gains works the same way experience points are gained, division commanders and stack commanders get credit for hits and kills the elements under their command make (and loose for elements los...

pgr

I agree with all above concerning stack command. The highest ranking with highest seniority will be the stack commander, with division commanders adding a bonus to the divisions they are in. There is one more issue, and that is the Force commander for the battle. The overall commander (the one who i...

Do you mean 6lbs as pea shooters? Having bigger, rifled guns in arty divisions isn't really a question of range for me. The first round of battle is the only one where range really matters, every other round starts at range 1. The bigger issue is that larger guns have better base stats = better hit ...

pgr

You just have to look at the stats when you pull up the element info. If I remember correctly, you have the light inf in USA Vol brigades, Zouaves, and CSA light infantry. I think the lights have slightly better patrol, screening, and recon values than normal infantry (and possibly higher initiative...

Normally the tool tip over the port in question tells you where need to park the blockading fleet. 12 combat ships will blockade anything. The trick is the forts. Blockade flotillas and wooden ships get beat up. However ironclad frigiates and monitors tend to chew up the fort guns while recieving li...

Well didn't want to toot my own horn... Without going too far down the history debate road, even Napoleonic era grand batteries weren't all or nothing. Napoleon certainly had his artillery battalions as corps artillery reserves, but the divisions still had a battery for local support (in a way these...

Now as it all didn't make much sense to me, I put some of these volunteer brigades outside of a division and led them train up. The result differs from those trained within a division. First there is no militia symbol & state of origin color mark on the unit counter anymore, there is also no Ho...

Artillery only divisions are the most efficient way to deploy artillery for several reasons. First, you get full leader bonus from the division leader and the stack leader. (Loose artillery only gets stack leader bonus). Second, you get fire power concentration because the artillery division will se...

Well on the F2 screen (the one where you can by replacement chits as well) there is a table that shows current unit builds. If you build alot, not everything fits, but you can click on the building units and it selects them. Also use the R key to cycle through active land units (and T for naval). It...

pgr

Quick question. If you set automatic replacements to 0 does the AI not buy replacement chits? I usually PBEM, but I was doing some single player and Athena doesn't seem to be replacing hits. (I also could be imagining things

) Anyone else notice something along those lines?

pgr

The problem with brigades is that they are scripted, so you would have to overhaul the whole force pool. In a way, the brigades sort of don't matter, because they get mushed together into divisions anyway. I'd be for getting rid of mixed brigades entirely and re-do the pool as "pure" briga...

Minor thing (for if and when a future change may happen.) April 61 campaign, in the event that creates capitol fortifications, Washington and Alexandria receive level 1 redoubts. These cannot be upgraded to level 2 forts. Can the event be modified to give Washington a level 2 fortification/ a level ...

: • 1 week turns, because 2 week turns allow too much to happen, while one side just sit's back an watches while it happens Indeed. I like the idea of more decision making cycles. I would keep movement speeds the same (in days). It would mean that major movements would take 2 turns. Good intel woul...

I think CWII has been "finished" for some time. I don't really expect a major patch moving forward. For me, nothing is broken, so go ahead and play. (That said there are tweaks that could be made, but once you go down that road, you ask 50 people and you get 100 answers.) Were you thinking...

So I rarely build forts the old fashioned way (4 guns and 4 supply elements), and I was surprised to see that I couldn't expand a current fort. For clarity, Washington DC, in the April 61 game. You get a fort automatically via an in-game event, but it is only a level 1 fort, which has a an overcrowd...

As to the original question, land troops can tear up RR tracks, and small settlements can be destroyed, as well as depots. Fleets can't destroy infrastructure, but if you have 4 active ship elements, they can block movement across a river. I suppose you could say that they are shelling the bridges (...

I think you need to free up one of the division commanders to be a corps commander. First, stuff everyone into Grant's army stack and re-organize the divisions so that you free up one of your 2 star commanders. Take that loose commander (Lew W for example) and create a new stack with him. When you c...

I cannot find my analysis of targeting stacks :pleure: I did find one tidbit of information though, which is pretty important. When a stack is forced to retreat, if there are no enemy stacks in the region in OP, the retreating stack will do a "tactical retreat" to within the region. That'...

Are these examples all from the same turn execution? No, the examples in my last post are diffrent. Example 1, is a "control" example, with a normal retreat ending. (For specifics, CSA is attacking, USA defending. At round 4, all US stacks retreat, and the battle ends. I left out most of ...

First off, pgr is using some terms incorrectly in describing the situation. A "Battle" is not all the combat taking place within one region during one turn, at least not in game terms. A "Battle" is what occurs when in a region during turn execution: • => 2 warring faction have ...
