The screenshot is attached: moving Beauregard from Loudon, VA to Frederick, MD will take (hold your breath now) 175 days.

I guess this were funny ... if Beauregard's corps weren't stuck! As in, it takes more than 100 days for it to get to *any* other region. And it's a condition that has lasted for several turns, since I've seen it a few turns before as well (but hoped it would go away).

I have also made a save, if anyone is interested.


Second edit: This is not military control/loyalty-related. Going to the Virginia region below Loudon, VA (which is controlled by me) will take 120 days, according to the tooltip.

Does his army contain a fort battery (captured or otherwise)? (The ones that show the 'emplaced' symbol) These beasties will give you that kind of movement unless they are transported by rail or ship.....

Also, he might wan't to check and be sure he doesn't have any ironclads or enemy brigades in his stack..

Sometime busy roads or rails, might produce a longer than normal movement situation?

I'm not aware of 'busy roads' in AACW, but even so, this order of magnitude has always been 'oops, I've got fort guns in there'. Like when I tried to move the Sumter battery.....

...and yes Stwa, you ARE somewhat deranged.....

I think lodilefty is right.
Fixed fort guns are not immobile, but very difficult to move, specially in winter/mud conditions

Whitewolf: check your stack and divisions and drop any fixed guns yo find inside. If you separate them form your army, you can move them slowly, but at reasonably speed by rail/river and deploy them somewhere usefully.
When i capture the Alexandria fort guns as the CSA they usually go to Norfolk. By rail/river it takes a couple turns.

Cheers!

You were right; darned fort artillery!

PGT Beauregard sends thanks, and so do I .

... and welcome to a VERY large club....

The more I play this game, the more I am impressed with: when seemingly strange or baffling things happen, they usually happen for good, if sometimes obscure, reason.

Not to say that at other times, strangeness is not due to bugs.

But overall, what a satisfyingly deep and "realistic" simulation AACW is!
