These historical notes are good food for thought. But can you elaborate a bit more on this_

Or can we modify the NM penalty/bonus for some objective cities?

shi4stone823

Is it possible to mod some kind of event to boost CSA moral and FI, which is triggered by, let's say, capture of Baltimore or other major city like Pittsburgh, and etc. or a +5 NM victory in MD or PA. Longshanks would you say that as US building a strong river navy is a priority for you? Sounds like...

These are great suggestions for a new player like me. I have a question in general strategy in the East> if the Union is going to defensive posture in VA/MD, and focus his resource in the West and amphi landings, how to counter this strategy? CSA just won't dare to shift too many force from the East...

Ha, nice to see you here. So you have to register a new username in the end... It would be great you can post some strategy and observations here from the other side of the hill. :cool: (might be useful for our next fight :thumbsup :) Very fun game, congratulation on your victory.

Hi, I am looking for an opponent for a campaign game, 61 or 62. Either side is ok. Historical attrition, and open to other houserules. I can make multiple turns most of weekday evenings (GMT +1 ), and either many turns or very few turns during weekends. Have played a few PBEM games, know the mechani...

After capturing DC, things began to turn sour for the Union: first, both sides have several move orders in the VA front to readjust the front line. And one large engagement broke out. That battle per se is no clear winner, but the critical event is that McDowell's AotP MTSG to support, which lead to...

BTW. it's not "four ships" to block, it's "four ship ELEMENTS" - you can click on each ship counter to see how many elements it has. Some have 2, and the Blockade Flotillas have 8 (that's Union only though). Additionally, your opponent may not be able to see them if, for example, you use brigs! Oh,...

Washington costs him around 50 NM points when he loses it. He won't get back anywhere near that much when he recaptures it. I thought so too, after reading through a few related posts. But it turns out his NM jump back 90+ after retaking the city. I only lose 10NM for losing DC though, so at least ...

[color="#FF0000"]Late March ‘62[/color] It seems our turn plays too fast to allow me update this AAR every single turn. It hasn’t been much action throughout Jan-Feb, as both of us are so afraid of the cold.. Last 2 turns, though, we finally break the stalemate and made some dramatic actions. First...

[color="#FF0000"]Early Jan '62[/color] [color="#FFFF00"]Home front[/color] Well, lots of decisions here in the last turn. Let's see how did they go. first comes the good news from our ambassador in London, our blockade threat had increase 16 FI and Union blockade further increased it by 6, thus now...

Thanks again, Jim! that explains why 4 ships are needed. This makes me rethink the strategy in the Gulf landing zone.

shi4stone823

Could be activation or your ships. A single boat can block passage sometimes (there is a % chance for each ship element in the blocking force). Again, thanks for the quick reply! That's good news, I thought one need at least 4 ships as per the strategy guide in Wiki. 4 boats or more are needed, wha...

[color="#FFFF00"]Drafting and Bond[/color] The last turn in '61 sees a lot administration actions. The Union looks too strong and haven't risk any direct attack. I can't sit there and wait him to build up. I decided to go for all-in policy, 8& bond, Money print and exceptional Taxes, 1k bounty volu...

shi4stone823

After a close inspection in the Gulf, I realize there is another division sitting on the river side, might try to cross the river. And I had thought one boat can prevent crossing, but according to Wiki, I need 4 boats at least.... err........ situation down there at gulf doesn't look good. Then why ...

shi4stone823

Thanks for your advice, Jim!! :) I knew the monthly production is affected by the NM stages, but had thought every single NM points would effect on Call for volunteer and mobilization. Good to know it is the same stage thing! On the Economy side, I have been tempted to press the printing machine but...

Houserule used: Unlimited raid on boder states only, No mobilization before ‘62, then do as you wish Medium delay before battle, historical attrition no redeployment. Review of previous actions from April - late Oct ‘61 East: It is rather quiet for most of the time. no big battle yet. Union seized M...

Greetings! I am a newbie in AACW, who was initially a bit disappointed by PoN last year, but nevertheless hooked up by the Ageod engine games. As a rather desperate attempt to scratch the ‘grand strategy game’ itch, I decided to give AACW a try, seeing so many praises about it, despite my complete i...

Naval supply only goes to harbors with exit points in coastal regions. Transports out of harbor do not draw supply. They can however give their supply to units in adjacent land regions--I'm not certain if those MUST have supply units, but it will help greatly. If you have a harbor with a river exit...

looking for a game, ok with both side ( a bit more familiar with Union though)

Can host if needed. House rule/GC senario> can discuss later.

shi4stone823

Hi, Longshanks, I have been rather annoyed by the AI's behaviour lately as I become more familiar with the game. It became rather easy to wipe out the main force of the AI because of these crazy deep raid, and destroyed an exciting game after a few turns. So, would you mind to post some suggestions ...

Guess I missed this event...is there still an open slot for a new green player ?

Well AACW is not terribly slow as PoN, but it never hurts to get it faster.

shi4stone823

I only know how to check how much supply each region is received or send out, by hovering your mouse on top of the region in question in supply map mod. But as to where did these supply come from or where they go, I have no clue. Those text lines posted above showing where the supplies goes and by w...
