This is my first post. Currently playing the north. Restarted a half dozen times trying to learn the game. I am at the point where I am 1 full year into the full campaign (Early April 62).
My first general problem I am facing (the CSA AI is handing my hat to me) is how to keep my feeble forces in the west in supply. I have lost several units in KS/IT area due to lack of supply.
One thing that has saved my cookies a little bit is that I have regularly invested in factorys in KS and TX because they are so cheap. Ft. Leavenworth and Dallas seem to be creating some 50+ supply/ammo or more per turn. However given the vast area to cover, how does one successfully prosecute any kind of "offensive" in the far west with such meager supply coverage? I can only assume I should be dragging a few supply trains with me at all times.
Thanks in advance...
