Possible Issues with Sibley's NM campaign
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2013 11:52 pm
I have two possible issues with this scenario:
1. Playing through Sibley's NM campaign as the Union vs the AI, I managed to achieve what I thought would be a major victory. I outscored the AI in VPs and NM and captured all objectives (F9) before game end, but I was awarded only a minor victory based upon VPs. Is this WAD?
The scenario description says I need to conquer all of NM. Does this mean I need to capture places like Ft. Lee and Ft. Thorn in order to secure a major victory, even though they are not on the objectives list?
2. Visually, the El Paso region in TX appears to be a single region, but the game engine seems to treat this area as two separate regions. I moved a stack into the El Paso region with an assault posture and ROE set to all-out attack, but, after arrival, it remained in the region for 3 turns w/o attacking Sibley's entrenched stack. Once I dragged and dropped my stack onto Sibley's, combat took place during the resolution phase. Once, I moved my stack slightly to one side to gain a better view of the territory. When I did, the game engine drew a short movement path (visually it was still within the El Paso region), and it showed a move time of 9 days. I tried this experiment two more times with the same result.
