Death Events

[Brochgale]

Can we have an ASJohston death event please? He just lost me the entire Army of The Tennessee in my latest game - grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! leure:

HE lost it?

[Brochgale]

Yep - I was little shocked - ran smack into a huge yank army at Lex in Kentucky and he only gets wounded - lose one of my Corps commanders killed and 2 division generals killed - I cant find them RR anyhwere on map - assumed htey killed in Action - the rest wounded - ouch leure: So I figure a death event for ASJ is only suitable in the circumastances leure:

Misery mustn't die.

...But A.S. Johnston should.

There has to be some competition and striving for that 3*** rank that builds a new Army. Besides, all leaders could die of sickness. If Johnston died from wounds in history why shouldn't he die in AACW?

I am somewhat compensated by the fact that he has lost a good level of senioity and can promote another General to Command the new Army I am building - assuming I get the time to do so but I would not bet on it - I have nothing between Lexigton and Atlanta but Militia - as the rmaining Corp of the Teneessee is very unerstrength, to stop Feds Army which despite heavy losses is still a operable force - Oh well it is back to the thoery board?

I understand where you are coming from here, but in every April or July 61 scenario I have played as the South (about half a dozen), I have NEVER fought at Shiloh (where Johnston was mortally wounded).

So, as a possible compromise, I would suggest the following-

That for every MAJOR battle that A.S. Johnston is in, he has an ever increasing chance to be killed. Say 30% in the first major fight, 50% in the second big fight, 70% in the third and 90% in the fourth fight and in every battle after that.

What do you think?

His death was actually quite noble and could have been avoided by being less noble.

I just lost Gen. Buell to death? Will Thomas assume command? T

My point was that he was there because you put him there. So it's not all his fault...

Further, I don't see any clamoring for Jackson's death, or any other quality officer's death. Johnston is fine, just set him up to succeed.

I like the fact that death for officers is a battlefield possibility rather than a scripted event. In fact I just had RE Lee get seriously wounded in a game, and I assume that he could just as easily have died. That would have been a real blow to the CSA.
