Sometimes life sucks. In both these case, the first against AI, the second in PBEM I still won. As they say, it's not over until the fat lady sings.

I just described in detail when a siege exists.
In Siege Combat, very basically, the offensive artillery value of the besieging forces is compared to the defensive artillery value of the besieged forces. The better the offensive value vs defensive value, the more likely to score a breach, or if already breached, cause the defenders to surrender.
In far more detail: Siege Combat from the AGEod Wiki

Take Fort Clark on the NC coast in an amphibious assault. This has always got me Grant promoted with seniority enough to command one of the Armies in the summer of 1862. This also prevents CSA ironclads from sneaking up the coast when I am operating against VA. The coastal forts are sort of sitting ducks for anyone else you want promoted.

What are you talking about? There are no restrictions or penalties for making anyone a Corps commander, regardless of seniority. The leader must simply be Maj.Gen. or higher.

Maybe because they are one star when they arrive in 1862.

Grant's stack is set to Red/Red and Enter the Structure. So they exit the ships and then immediately assault the fort in the same turn. I thought that qualified as an amphibious assault.
