Greetings All,
Murtagks and I decided to risk spamming the forum once again with a dual-view AAR.
Unusually for me I will be the CSA. This is our tenth game and Murtagks has vowed to use my own dastardly Yankee tactics against me. I will certainly be stealing his good CSA ideas too.
Turns 1-4
We had an even more bloodless firing on Ft Sumter than in history as not even a confederate horse was killed.
My overall strategy for 1861 is to focus a great deal on Virginia, but with one other adventurous move.
I'm putting a some resources into building some troops in northwest Texas to invade New Mexico and hopefully also Arizona. Tuscon is a victory city and holding it will get me some NM and some victory points.
Usually given the low stakes in the Area Murtagks and I have just used to starting troops against one another, but this time I want to spring a little surprise.
In Texas proper the Sam Houston event fired.
I should be able to take back Dallas.
In terms of buildup I will go with coastal iron works and two arsenal decisions. Murtagks made a compelling case that arsenals do pay for themselves in terms of money through the game, and this is often a limiting factor later on so I'm going to steal his idea (sorry not sorry).
As New Orleans will be getting a fair bit of investment I'll need to be sure to defend it well. Murtagks brought price down with some of the militia he spawns for the MO defense last game and I will steal this idea too (again, sorry-not-sorry)
The buildup decisions need to be spaced out as I have pumped a lot of WS into canon and brigades for Virginia for the push I'm planning.
I will threaten DC to the north and try to find the right moment to hit McDowell in Alexandria. Taking the city will prevent garrisons spawning and will keep Murtagks constantly worried about DC's safety. I may not be able take DC in 1861, but I want to set up a good position to keep it under threat to help secure Virginia.
My focus on far west and East will leave the center fairly exposed. In MO I will just worry Murtagks with Shelby's cavalry and blow any depots he looks like he may capture. I'll slow his advance to the victory cities, but I won't make a play for St Louis.
Fingers crossed Kentucky takes its time to join the war.
