In fact, as I write this, what if this was simply the norm and forced march stopped this "stop and rest" function? The movement values in the tables would be the forced march values, but these would not be used as units would automatically stop as needed to recover cohesion. Leader attributes which...

At Sharpsburg, the numbers were roughly even. Like the percentage or not, the smaller army lost 11,700, out of 52,000, while the larger lost about the same number out of 75,000. At the end of the day, the smaller army had no fresh troops, while the larger one had the fairly fresh 9th, and the uncom...

The problem with a "2" as a default rating is as stated above, other additional penalties are passed on to corps commanders, and in most cases that is too much of a penalty. I apologize if I was not clear in my first message. I have been away from the game for a couple of months so I am going off o...

Dan

Any reason all of the proposed ratings are fixed on the "2" for attack for JJ? Wouldn't something along the lines of 4-1-5 or 4-1-6 work better to reflect his defensive nature as well as to encourage the player to use him in such a manner? PS: I have not been a big fan of the average ratings being 3...

So what you all are saying is that you would like to go back to the way the game was initially set up before some of us begged the developer to change it? Not really, I don't think. I think they are just trying to fine tune all of the inter-related parts to make the game even better. I see nothing ...

Dan

It does look like you had the ability to use rail movement through enemy territory into Philadelphia, and that looks a bit fishy. I don't know. 4 days to move one region (Montgomery) and then another 5 days to move one more region (Philadelphia). 9 days to move two regions (and crossing a river) do...

Then I guess you had better keep brigadier generals in your stack then! If there was nobody to take over, then a division should fall apart, otherwize, it should assign a new commander. Like I said, I have not had this issue come up yet playing 1.06 (been real busy lately and just haven't been able...

Dan

Given that generals appear via event, it would be possible to have event chances take place to have one event fire, or the other event fire. What could be done, was to create doppelgängers, which have a % to be triggered via event. This could result in a general appearing with a good future promoti...

Dan

The current system has the force generally 'shattered' for upwards of 15 days of gameplay (i.e., in its component parts). And then if there is no spare general in that region you lose another 15 days (the next turn) getting a general there to reform the division. That means a fighting force could b...

Dan

IMO, the division should then be dissolved into its component parts. I guess that is my question. Does the division dissolve if the general leading it is wounded? Perhaps in terms of game play, that may be the best action. However, I was just thinking that if a general is WIA/KIA that the division ...

Dan

I have not had this happen yet with the leader mod, but I am curious what happens to the division when a leader is WIA/KIA. Do we 'loss' that division and have to reform with a new leader? Or does the division stay together and a new leader can be moved into it? What happens if there is no other ava...

I am not here to flick my Bic under the tinder, but this paragraph highlights exactly why I dislike the whole idea of "community" game development..................... What is the big deal here? If Pocus and company did not want anybody messing with the "original design" of the game, they would not...

Dan

With regard to Bragg and Hardee, I would think it could be argued that both were senior enough and respected enough to get an auto-promotion around the time of Shiloh. My fear would be that if they arent auto-promoted at some point, there will be no Rebel 2-stars in the West other than Bishop Polk ...

You can already capture enemy artillery under certain conditions, just as you can capture enemy ships and supply wagons. I even stole the fort batteries from Ft. Monroe once but it took like 200 days to drag them to the next region and the US attacked before I could secure them. (Pretty sure AGEOD ...

In addition to this, when I elect to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, not only does the -150 Victory Points and -5 National Morale show up on the Reinforcement screen but I also get an additional 999 Thousand dollars in my balance. If the negative points are showing up incorrectly, does this also...

Same here. (Although I am really southeast of Garner.)

I think the scope of this game has to be considered when talking about this issue. We are not talking about a subordinate general making a tactical decision on his own during a battle that contradicts the Army commander. This is not Sickles moving his Corps forward at Gettysburg or even AP Hill/Heth...

Dan

does your opponent know? For the first time I lost a general (and a very good one at that) but it is a pbem and I cannot go back and see if the enemy knows who was killed. I never had this happen vs. the AI. So does anyone know if the event of a general getting killed is announced to the other side...

Dan

In the command structure, divisions must always be part of a corps and are therefore subject to the corps commander's activation. Divisions outside a corps are independent. That takes me to another issue. Just like a Corps can operate away from the Army HQ (may be a little to far for my tastes, but...

Dan

I think the point is that the campaign was conducted on the initiative of Grant, not Halleck. This supports the premise that the Corps commander can initiate the action IMO. If Grant had failed, Halleck would have sold him down the river I think. Hence, my arguement that the Corps commander can ini...

Dan

I would say the penalty of an activated Corps Commander and a non activated Army commnder is a reduced chance of being reinforced from the Army, and most certainly from other Corps in the area. If he goes alone, he gets less help. That is a penalty. A Corps should not be penalized for execution of ...

Dan

An interesting way to handle that would be to only check the activation of the army leader. If the army commander is active, then all of his subordinate corps are active automatically. If inactive, then the corps are inactive. I think this might be a little bit too much. There are a lot of Union ge...

Dan

right, I did not understand fully your proposal, to have the roll at the stack level but impacted & stored to all units. Better yes. I not against putting that under a new optional rule, which would penalize also more heavily non activated leaders (they would be prevented from moving in hostile reg...

Dan

As was suggested and the same thing that I do, under these circumstances I typically move the division I want to separate to a new tab and then do what I need to do, etc. This brings up another question that I am unable to check until later today. If you move a unit from one tab to a new tab, does ...

Dan

178,000 in a single day's battle?!!?? :bonk: Looks like there were a lot of POW's for the Union. Did the Union forces have no place to retreat? The Union was attacking an equal force with great generals in a well defended position. What caused the AI to not break off at some point before 10,000 tro...

Dan

We shall add some "named" generic generals to the game DB, using the list of real generals from the ACW. These generals will come like 6 at start + 3 new ones per year, and will help players organize their divisions and corps. We plan to have a small DB of the 20-25 most important of these generals...
