If you try to move the CSA fleet outside Fort Monroe, VA down the coast to one of the NC forts or, say, Wilmington, it calculates 3000-6000 days!!! This is not new to this beta. I'm still using the latest 1.15 due to some ongoing pbems and its the same way in that patch - if you want to travel alon...

Nice job on the AAR so far rattler.

enf, you can't combine the Texas Rangers like you can the regular militia units; they won't merge.

In the thread I linked above, I did post the saves, as I always did (prior to 1.15) when I encountered a problem. In this case the behavior could not be duplicated on Pocus' machine. So in subsequent cases (rare as already noted) I didn't bother to report. I also agree w/ Jim above; it's by no means...

Also take a look at post #5 in this thread to see where I had a (apparent) MTSG oddity that was never resolved. Could be related with the water transport issue you are seeing?

mikee64

I've seen this happen on very rare occasion also; in a PBEM I once had Longstreet defending outside Richmond with level 8 entrenchments. He MTSG into an adjacent region and lost his entrenchments, even though he wound up back in the Richmond region. Needless to say this caused a bit of a panic as th...

It appears that what was mentioned in the early posts of this thread is still happening: I'm in a PBEM in March 1863 of the big campaign w/ KY and the current game version, and Longstreet's brigade has received an artillery unit instead of the infantry it should have gotten via auto-replacement. In ...

And here's a thread with an example and the saves: NM loss example

oops, that was the post, here is the thread: Entire Thread

mikee64

This happens sometimes in big battles with large losses and NM swings. Yes the message reporting the loss/gain is indeed incorrect. The NM points are awarded properly. There are several other posts detailing this, I think one was in the Soundoff/Banks AAR, and I posted an example as well. I'll see i...

I still believe the Seaman trait is broken as well. Here is Pocus' initial reply when I first reported this: About the cost reduction, it is impacted on each travel time between 2 regions, so if the cost is 1 or 2 days, a -25% cost can perhaps result, because of rounding, to the same value. And a co...

Q1: do you have a stack selected? Yes: http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z231/mikee64_bucket/Move_msg.jpg I used to see this "days to enter" info but no longer do. Q2: The loser is the stack that retreats from the field, regardless of casualties. Casualties are used to determine the level/type of ...

mikee64

I thought there used to be a tooltip when hovering over a region that gave you a message like this. Now I can't find it. Am I old, crazy (or both), or is it no longer there? I'm playing QF6 and whatever patch it was supposed to be installed over. Oh and BTW something is still weird with battle resul...

mikee64

No real preference here, I usually click the thread then switch to another tab while it loads anyway. Keep up the good work, enjoying it. Very nicely done recap. I recently won my first pbem as the South by taking DC in a move very similar to yours. I then lost and retook it in the same turn to drop...

mikee64

As far as the database is concerned (and even event syntax) the two terms are interchangeable. i.e. remplacements = replacements Remember AGEod is a foreign company and a few spellings are quirky... Doesn't matter in the end because it does NOT affect game play. Ah, I didn't realize replacement was...

mikee64

There is a minor typo in the tooltip that appears in Early May 1861, the mailbox message says "First CSA Militias are Taking Up Arms" which is fine. But the mouseover tooltip says "Militias raided. Need remplacements." I've been playing for almost 2.5 years and never noticed so no big deal, just tho...

mikee64

WB, if that is the case and it is WAD then it's fine with me... but again I have seen it stated in several places recently that it takes 4 supply elements to build a depot or a fort - in which case any supply elements should suffice... but apparently ships work for depots but not forts. And yes, I s...

mikee64

Thanks for checking it Gray. Given the lack of an answer to my question about anyone having used ships to build a fort, I am assuming the answer is "no".

Do I need to email Pocus or will you let him know or point him here?

I agree. I just want a clear understanding of how it works/should work under the current version.

mikee64

Thanks for the reply WB but if true the docs for the current version are incorrect - it clearly states you can use naval transports or wagons as long as you have 4 supply elements. Scroll up a little in this thread and you can see where I compare the cost of ships vs. wagons. Not exactly inconsequen...

mikee64

Ok here is the save, this is a pbem so if you are one of my playing partners I would appreciate you not opening.... the fort I'm attempting to build is in New Orleans. I've tried everything I can think of and should have all required resources.

mikee64

I've finally built some forts, but only using wagons. I now have the required forces gathered to build my first using transports, but am having no luck. I've got the 4 undamaged supply elements and artillery, and am in a region with a city. But I don't even get the "build fort" button. Any ideas? Is...

It looks like in the current version the Texas Rgr Bde will automatically receive its second missing element via replacement on the early June 1862 turn.

mikee64

Thanks for the link MrT, I read that thread at the time but didn't look back far enough to find it before my post here. BI did some good testing, but his was mostly w/ cities. My case was stand-alone but Gray also posted some info there on that. Thanks again for the link. I really think Stuart with ...

mikee64

Not sure of the exact state of the "NoCapture" rule at this time, but I'm running 1.14 w/ QF2 in a pbem and here is a shot from last turn. Stuart assaulted with a cav division and wiped out the garrison, but did not capture the stand alone depot. I know there are a couple of more recent patches, but...

mikee64

Yes Gray that change was another reason I finally decided to start building. But even at 4 elements if using wagons thats ~$40k (depending on inflation) 20CS and 20WS just for the supply elements. Thats a big chunk of resources for the CSA. Using river transports is ~50% cheaper but obviously you ca...

mikee64

In my 2+ years of playing the game (mostly pbem) I had never once built a fort until seeing Banks use them so effectively in his AAR. I now have them underway at key strategic points in my current game. Excellent job pointing out the usefulness there Banks! They are still a little expensive for my t...

mikee64

Keep up the excellent reporting MrT, really enjoying it. You guys are moving at a very impressive pace, too. One thing you mentioned I thought I would comment on: you said your casualties were higher partly because of the ~3k troops under Hindman who starved. Well if they actually died from lack of ...

@Mike - I wish it was a mod! I think there was someone interested in developing a mud mod not too long back. I don't think anything happened with it though :( . If mud is a big tactical factor in the region I think it's important to represent visually. It only takes a few seconds with MS paint's sp...

mikee64

I see what looks like a really sweet display of mud in your screenshots - is that some mod or did you paint that in manually for display here? If it's the former, I need that mod! If the latter, you are hard working AAR'er!

mikee64

Just wanted to chime in and say I'm also really enjoying the AAR slimey. I know how much work it takes and your screenies are great. Am I correct in reading somewhere that this is a game that's already complete or at least very far along and you are just "catching up" with posting this AAR? Thanks f...
