[quote="arsan"]Hi
Yes, i know posture matters. My experience is with offensive posture, of course.
My only naval enagemen in all the months i have been playings this campaign (up until December's 61) has been on a sea zone (Hamptons Road)
Still no luck on the big rivers confluence, which seems very strange as i have 2 small fleets (4 or 5 gunboats units and 1 river ironclands each) there, and one is commade by Foote.
I know they are not very big but the problem is not that i get defeated. The problem is that i cant engage a single one of the enemy fleets and riverine movements units that pass by
I have tried putting one fleet lying still on a zone that blocks the way up north and i have tried to patrol up and down the confluent zones... but no luck!

leure:
I understand the sea zones are very big and i have no problem with the small success percentage of engagement there. But on river zones, the battles should occur nearly always, IMHO.

I agree, Hampton's Road is a hot spot, outside of this area combat is almost nonexistent. The only thing I can think of is the North will only fire if fired upon.
I have even tried with bombardment on but nothing, this is very frustrating. I've had CSA ships right next to mine and nothing. I would like to see a direct "attack" button added.
I understand the enemy could be in evade stance, if so what is the % ofsucess if I'm in offensive? Try sinking the CSS Alabama when this event fires, I doubt anyone has been sucessful.
Latly I don't even bother with building frigates etc. only transports, use resources elsewhere.
