I think if the Union really wants it, the South can't stop them, but there's a question about whether the gains there are really worth it for the Yanks. They can knock out a couple of conscript cities (Jeff City and Little Rock), and take some Strategic Cities, but there's not much to be gained compared to east of the Mississippi River.
Longshanks wrote:On the other hand, there are many juicy targets for the CSA, including Jeff City, Rolla, St. Louis and access into Illinois and Iowa. However, the CSA rarely has enough extra troops to make good on all this, and it's much easier for the Union to divert troops to stop it. The CSA can get the initiative there, however, and have great success if the Union ignores them. The same is true anywhere else however!

If you've got the time, I would enjoy playing you PBEM in that scenario, if you're interested. It would give us a chance to compare our ideas, and put 'em to the test!

I know to build a supply depot, you need a wagon. . .but what about for a fort? I don't think I have even ever seen the option opened up for me to build a fort....
Coldsteel wrote:Hi all,
So I'm from St.Louis, and I always do my darndest weather I play as the North or South to try and take control of Missouri. St.Louis is a great city to control in this game. . .
However, as many have stated on here, it one of the tougher nuts to crack, especially as the CSA.
Weather / Lack of Supply / Terrain all make it tough to march up men from Ark for the South. . . and I always find it really hard to Capture Springfield when I play as the North. . .

Cdr. McBragg wrote:I appreciate the offer, and though I can't do it now I may remind you of it in the future. I'm not familiar with the scenario - I haven't played any scenario since I worked up to the campaign game. It looks like I would have to roll back to 1.15 to play it, and currently I'm patched up to 1.16rc4.

Perhaps you too will be able to entertain us with tales of your herculean exploits once you and Dixicrat take up your PBEM, hopefully in an AAR?
Regards,
I couldn't quite identify the artillery pieces

it's worse if you fights or you runs:
You may hide in the caves, they'll be only your graves,
