On the other hand it could be supply & experience. Does somebody actually know what it is?

So... Any new screens? I know every screen you posted by heart :niark: .
Forrest said something about killing a Yankee for each of his horses that they shot. In the last days of the war, Forrest had killed 30 of the enemy and had 30 horses shot from under him. In a brief but savage conflict, a Yankee soldier "saw glory for himself" with an opportunity to kill the famous Confederate General... Forrest killed the fellow. Making 31 Yankees personally killed, and 30 horses lost...

He remarked, "I ended the war a horse ahead."

Well we are doing non visual things for now, scripting scenarios or coding the AI... perhaps an AAR soon though, within a week or so as I'm delivering a new version this evening :)

Good. I have one question while we wait. Onunit screen we can see 4 numbers one under another. what do they represent?

the top one is the overall combat value of the unit. The others three are explained in the tootip (but as you don't see the mouse cursor, it can be misleading on this screen).

Aha. I found it. Thanks for quick answer.

And what about number of regiments? If you gonna stick to history you will have to raise like 1000 regiments or so. So this will be like 20 per month. Is this correct?

you recruit regiments within brigades. This is to simplify things a bit, as people will already have enough with the current chain of command. So if you recruit 4 brigades during a turn, it can amounts to 8-20 regiments of various kinds.

Very good solution. I like it. Thanks for the speedy answer.

When we recruit brigades in the game, will they be given random brigade names (Alabama Infantry, etc.), or will we be allowed to name the units?
How about with the regiments that make up the brigades? Will regimental numbers be generated automatically? Thanks.

You won't get to rename your units, but they will be named from an historical names list, which takes into account state of origin and type of unit. See the Intelligence subforum where players are establishing these lists, you won't be disappointed!

This may have already been fixed, as I'm replying to an old thread. However, I have a minor spelling correction. The Artillery screenshot shows purchase of 20lb p. PA. The name of the actual guns in the battery is misspelled. It should be "20 lb Parrott" with two 't's not one 't'. The gun is named after its inventor, Robert Parker Parrott, not the bird, Parrot.

Not a big deal, but I figured, might as well get it right if it's not a lot of trouble.

If you look at the marines you can see that I have made a red circle around some numbers and symbols, what does there numbers and symbols mean?

I quite sure that you have explained it but I cant find it no matter how much I have searched (I have been looking for a couple of days now...)
