Stacks ??

[Johnnie]

"Total CP's provided by leaders in a Stack is limited to a maximum of 16." What is a stack ?? All forces in one place ?? One region ?? Are two corps and one army not exactly superimposed in one spot, one stack or three ??

What if they are in exactly the same spot ?? Any difference ??

I'm lost here.

A stack is units grouped together. Separate units in the same region are each individual stacks. For instance, if you have an army and two corps in a region, that would be three stacks. Basically, stacks are the tabs you see when you select a unit in a region. If there are 4 tabs, you have 4 stacks, etc.

But note that stacking bonuses apply above and beyond that 16. For instance Jackson's Corps under Lee's Army (of the Shenandoah formed at York Pennsylvania (seems the Shenandoah grew a bit)) has a command capacity of 21 or 23, that is 16 for the corps' leaders (Jackson, E.K. Smith, Taliafero, Bee (the last would not even be needed to get to 16), +4 for Lee's strategic ranking of 6 (playing with slight variation of leader stats), +1 for an aide de camp at Lee's headquarters, which would give 21 command total (possibly the corps also has some other element raising command size to 22 or 23 as I'm pretty sure I've seen the corps with higher capacity at one time or another). All of that leading to a nice fat corps with a strength value of 1900+ (Bee is still commanding individual units as no third HQ has arrived at the corps, once that happens with additional brigades it should rise easily to 2300+ with the same command rating...). No wonder the ai Union is breaking it's back trying to recapture Annapolis (Jackson), Baltimore (Longstreet with a slightly smaller corps) and York (Lee, Beauregard and Ewell (recovering from his Picket like charge at Harrisburg), those three commands with roughly the same combat capacity then Jackson), Stuart in the meantime is happily riding around the Union army to guide my line of supply.
