hi guys, ive just bought NC's and i thought id pop in and say hello. im plannin on spendin the next couple of weeks learnin the game before cuttin my teeth on a MP game against one of u would be napoleons.
got a question about some settings, in particular the activation and delayed commitment rules.
what do the vast majority of players here set these rules at? also most people tick regroup armies as well?
cheers
Hi!
I can only speak by myself, but what i use is:
- Activation: the standard (middle one). You can't act offensively unless activated, but can move albeit slowly. I have to try the hard one someday to see if i'm grognard enough!
- Commitment delay rules: i use the second shortest one (i think is the default).
Its not too frustrating (just a little :niark
and gives faily common realist "shit can happen" results where some of your corps on a region don't arrive in time for a battle ad leave the others to fight by themselves. No plan is perfect! 
If you want more control, and to know always who is going to fight use the no commitment delay at all.
- Reagroup armies: yes i always tick these on all AGEOD games. Things look tidier and clearer that way to me.
Of course this is only a visual thing. Different stacks don't get merged, they just show as one stack on map, but you can have several tabs per region.
Regards

......it's to be further investigated indeed!
May be you'll not need to 2 weeks before going after your first scenery: the details of rules are quite complex but game interface is simple.playing a scenery is best way to learn game basic concepts!

Hi!
Sappers help on sieges (they have a special ability for it. Check to icon tooltip)
Medical units, as on AACW, help recover cohesion faster. I think this is also explained on the special ability icon.
Can't remember any more special units right now. Please, tell me if there are any more you want to know.
Both kinds (sappeurs and medical units) will help the whole stack they are in.
No need to be on a division

ok i just had something really annoying just happen, well 2 things actually.
1 - im playin the austerlitz scenario as the french. i thought all i had to do was move the army hq unit and all the attached corps would move with it as long as i clicked syncronize. well it didnt happen, i checked all the leaders and they were all active but the only unit that moved was nappy, the rest all stayed behind.
2 - i had saved my previous turn yesterday so that if this happened i could juts reload it and try it again. well my turn from yesterday has vanished, so im gonna have to start all over again which is very annoyin. ive never known a game to have such a messy save game system.

whats the deal with river crossings in NC? im tryin to move a corp over a frozen river but its sayin one the units cant enter. is there a rule about certain units not bein able to cross frozen rivers?
this leads to my 2nd question, why would such a rule be in place? surely rivers in NC have bridges so what does it matter if its frozen or not?

ok my corp is in Cottbus and im tryin to move to Kustrin which takes me through the Frankfurt an der oder region.
when i break the corp down to divs i can cross ok so it must be due to weight. the heaviest div i have is 19 and it can cross ok so what is the rule regarding weight and river crossing?
does weather affect it, do different river crossing regions have differents weight restrictions?
