Hehe I have the AH Civil War boardgame with all the little parts and maps to this day. I wonder if the designers of this game used it as a model at all.

I have no clue as to why I can't seem to build and raise troops and why I can't keep from running out of something like money, men, or war supplies. I have no clue as to why I do not have any idea of how the navel game works (or does not work) and I have no idea as to why I seem to be the only one who has problems of handling the scope and interface of AACW.
It must be me and not the game because I do n ot hear others saying what I am saying. AACW is a game I love but do not have the brain power or ability to play and understand.

I can't deal with the map and all the regions and the raid rules and I have a problem with knowing where I am or where I should go and how I should go there. In all the years I have played these games this has never happened to me. Never was there ever a game I wanted to play and understand and enjoy but did not have the ability to do so till AACW came along.
For me it is not just a simple "well don't patch" kind of thing. The way games are developed these days patching is necessary and 90% of what is there is great. I thought there must be other players who have trouble with production and unit building and think that there have been major changes in these part of the game with each patch...but I guess I am wrong and it just must be me (SIGH). SO I apologize to all for taking up you time and wasting space on this forum with my rants.
I will most likely buy the BoA2 game and have some of the same problems but maybe this time I will understand enough to play against the AI. In reading this post I don't understand some of it and I wrote it so if in comes across as the mumbled words of a ranting mind don't give it any thought.
I will in the end keep trying to play the game because I love it and have a high self abuse level LOL
thanks to all

As for my personal agenda, I don't apologize one iota for lobbying for (and helping to discuss and playtest) better realism and affinity to history.
Please, make it so. Bye bye!
For all of that though I've grown to love the game even if at times I still have severe problems with it.

So, rip away. Talk at length here and on the forums of companies where AGEod markets its games, asserting that I am some dingaling or nincompoop despite my early almost fanatical support of BoA and AACW. Shoot your mouth off about what an idiot I am because I continue to come here looking for support for the games I have bought and that have been changed by latecomers with their own agendas to pursue into strange creatures I no longer know how to play. Laugh derisively at me because you can deduce, then freely talk about, my online habits in doing so.

Hi ho. Good luck, Madgamer, this former Walford and Mount Vernon boy, who seems to share your frustration, is permanently outta here once again.
