There was no light infantry in the Civil War. A few units still had light infantry in their name but they were the same as any other infantry unit.

In late 1861 General Lee traveled from Richmond to Charleston and it took less than 48 hours.

Perryville and Stone's River were not Confederate victories.

Foote easily. It's not even close.

Chris0827

but due to the fact he had superb corps commanders who were able to command 20-30 000 men effectively, why dillute their command?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hill and Ewell were far from superb corps commanders

Pocus: Sounds great!! I will continue to play and see if I can avoid losses of more men than I had to start with! LOL Remember: " Marius, give me back my legions!!" It didn't take Marse Robert's boys long to dig in, and, the Blue Bellies knew better than to launch a frontal attack, espcially after ...

Forrest can't be an army commander in this game. He can possiblt reach corps command after a lot of combat.

Regiment size is the reason divisions are too big, however dealing with that may be more trouble than it is worth.

Is there any way with this change also to make alteration for bigger CSA divisions. Keeping in line with historicly CSA divisions tended to be bigger than US one? Perhapse around 22 24 elements. Not a big issue just thot i'd bring it up while changes are being made. Kind regards, Rasmus Divisions a...

I've seen estimates of between 1500 and 2300 union casualties during Pickett's charge

10 to 1 is what was the ratio in Vietnam for the US, but I don't have hard facts to back my words (remembering that from previous reading). I would expect that in the ACW this ratio is a lot lot lower. By 10 to 1 I mean ten combat troops for every one support troop. In Vietnam and in modern high te...

Chris0827

The ratio of teeth to tail (soldier to support) is a lot lower (something like 3:1)

*********************************

I don't know where you got 3:1. 10:1 is more like it.

Chamberlain was a brigadier general at the time of the surrender.

Chris0827

In general, I'd like to see most other generals who come in higher ranking come in early at their * rank...and then have to "earn their spurs" as it were. Beside Grant, Rosecrans comes to mind here (start him as a * in late '61 in West Virginia). Buell could start the game as a * locked in Californ...

Soccercw, Yes, the Mad Minute game also shows the style of fighting, all based on close knit lines. But still, I can't help but think to myself, when I see two lines facing each other at close range, doing volley fire, that if one of the lines were to drop to the ground and fire from there, they'd ...

You know, I did enjoy the movie Glory. One of the things that surprized me in it was to see the fighting style of the Civil War. When the black unit has its first engagement with the enemy, they form a line , and the enemy just in front of them too, and then they start shooting at each other. But i...

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was a Civil War movie

Eastern Maryland was also pro-confederate.

It's an event simulating the Riots in Baltimore in April 1861.

Sherman didn't have three stars until 1866.

Chris0827

They could be built by region like ships and they cost way too much and take much too long to build. At most a division HQ would have a few wagons. There's no need for a high war supplies cost or manpower cost.

Chris0827

I agree. Grant should show up as a one star in either August when he became a brigadier general or September when he took command of the District of Southeast Missouri.

Chris0827

It gives you war supplies

Patterson was called up as a major general of Pennsylvania troops for 90 days. His performance was so pathetic that he was not asked to stay past that point and was given an honorable discharge. Patterson asked for a court of inquiry to clear his name but was told there was no precedent for an inves...

Select the corps and push the delete buton to cancel the move.

Grant did command an army in early 1862. I don't see a problem with him commanding the AoP but the North does need to take a morale hit for dismissing McClellan

Grant has shown up in every game that I've played as a 3 star with an army HQ. I've never seen Grant as a 2 star.

Chris0827

You should see the picture of the general as part of the division also. Some of the generals do not yet have portraits.

Chris0827

You are correct to place the 1 star leader in the division if I understand your question correctly.

Chris0827

Select the Army HQ and use synchronized movement then go back and select the corps you want to stay and delete the move. You could remove the corps from the army but it would then lose any bonuses given by the army commander.

Western Virginia, Eastern and Northern kentucky, Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Northern Georgia all had a significant pro-Union population. We need to find out what percentage of the southern voters were in favor of seccesion in each area to accurately model this. Unfortunately I've...
