Ok, so I'm playing a PBEM and McDowell finally activated and I attacked Manassas because even McDowell is better than Little Mac.
I have two forces attacking one arriving on day 7 the other on day 11. I'm hoping with the long delay that battle would not occur until the larger force got there on day 11. Well battle didn't occur...at all. My opponent tells me that his force "Engaged the Union" on day 7 but there was no resolution and I did not have any messages on my end. So we figure maybe the battle is ongoing or something. Well, the next turn passes and still no battle. What's going on? I can post the save game if need be.
Thanks in advance!
No battle at Manassas
I have heard, in such a way as to believe it, of your recently saying that both the army and the government needed a dictator. Of course it was not for this, but in spite of it, that I have given you the command. Only those generals who gain success can be dictators. What I now ask of you is military success, and I will risk the dictatorship.

Rule: an Army group cannot initiate an attack if ANY other friendly group is in the region.
If your "other" stack is there, it must start the battle
Somebody has to be in offense or assault posture, other than the army stack.

Good to know.
Do you happen to know why that rule was implemented?

I'm not sure, but many patches ago...
...possibly even since original release!!!!!
It is the rule in all AGE games except BOA, WIA and soon-to-be-released AJE as they do not use the Command Structure rules....
