Turns 29-32 South Carolina, The most decisive action this turn was in South Carolina. Hooker first took Augusta to secure a route back to the supply base at Savannah and gained more seniority. 95_Augusta.png At this point I was beginning to try to formulate a plan to shift Beauregard's entrenched ar...

Turns 29-32 Tennessee, Given the accelerated pace elsewhere I felt I should put pressure on the CSA in Tennessee, I therefore advanced slightly with George Thomas (now 2* with his own Corps) in the west and Gilbert in the East, whilst trying to clear the CSA from the rivers. 101_Tennessee.png Admira...

Naturamix

Turns 29-32 Virginia, I think I am beginning the thin out the CSA forces as Murtagks had to move Shelby's stack from western Virginia. I therefore started moving into the state from West Virginia. 91_WV.png This front can be a good distraction for the confederacy to worry about by raiding rail lines...

Naturamix

Turns 29-32 West of Mississippi, Sherman has started his invasion of Texas (partly to gain seniority). 102_Texas.png I also sent Butler down from New York. His seniority of 7 means that it's best to give him an army command if practicable to make way for better commanders and his "occupier"...

Thank you

I update every couple of days or so depending on how often Murtagks and I manage to play

Naturamix

Turns 24-28, It's that worrying time of the game where Lee takes command of the Army of Northern Virginia. 74_Lee.png Fortunately McClellan has had a long time to dig in the Army of the Potomac, so I can hope that Murtagks will be reluctant to try anything to crazy. I don't fancy my odds against Lee...

Turns 24-28, Deep South Naval Invasions, Murtagks and I maneuvered around one another in South Carolina, but there was no decisive engagement. Milroy and Hooker moved to secure the rail line between Savannah and Charleston to set up for reinforcements to move in for an assault. 79_Charleston.png Aft...

Naturamix

Turns 24-28 West, The pace of combat general sped up going into the summer of 1862. As I saw Kentucky was about to join Erasmus Keyes performed a naval invasion of Ft Donelson as described above to cause movement in this theatre. 72_Ft Dondaldson.png I was pleased that Murtagks was surprised by this...

Naturamix

Turns 20-23, The first half of 1862 is a good time for new fronts to come into play. Kentucky is leaning towards the Union, and this may help me reinforce Keyes' naval invasion mentioned above. I have two divisions under Fitzjohn Porter and George Thomas in Louisville that are ready to charge south ...

Naturamix

Turns 20-23 South Carolina and Georgia, With Beauregard defending Charleston, Hooker redeployed to take Ft Pulaski outside Savannah. 59_Hooker Attack.png The fort was easy to take, but I was very concerned that Murtagks may simply railroad Beauregard down to defend the city at the last moment cause ...

Naturamix

Turns 20-23 Virginia, Murtagks' foresight in destroying the depots in West Virginia with Floyd is paying off as I need to spend resources reinforcing my supply lines to ready a push into Virginia from the West. 58_WV.png Seeing fresh supply wagons travelling to J.Dix (generic ** general) Murtagks' s...

Naturamix

Turns 20-23 West, Porter and Foote's naval forces went down the Mississippi and engaged the CSA fleet. 55_Porter.png Keyes' force landed successfully and took New Madrid. 56_ABSJ Trapped.png Unfortunately I misjudged ABSJ's route out and he was able to escape along the river into northern Tennessee....

Naturamix

Turns 18-19, Murtagks and I had a chance to get big cash boosts to build new forces over the turn of the year and there was some fighting in Virginia. I chose to mobilise to get more troops, but I noticed that the CSA used a cash premium instead. 51_Mobilise.png Murtagks is also dropping the local &...

Naturamix

Turns 15-17 Charleston, In Charleston I only had partial success. Hooker assaulted Ft Moultrie to completely clear the harbour entrance whilst Asquith moved to the city itself. Moultrie fell, and Hooker gained his first (hopefully not last) promotion, so he can now take a corps command when that is ...

Naturamix

Turns 15-17 Virginia, In Northern Virginia JEJ got into a fight with a new Union division moving to reinforce McDowell. 36_McDowell Again.png I had cut off his retreat with Hamilton, and so JEJ has to take the other route south to Falmouth. As planned George McClellan arrived to take command of the ...

Naturamix

Turns 15-17 Upper Mississippi, Having chased Keyes back into Missouri, Albert Sydney Johnston attacked with his two divisions. 40_ABSJ vs KEyes.png This was a good play Murtagks and me managed to get two bites out of Keyes by cutting off their escape for a turn with his fleet. 41_Cairo late november...

Naturamix

Turns 15-17 West, The Trent Affair fired and fortunately the Union apologised (even though it costs -2 NM). I think that the lower foreign entry threshold makes this event much more interesting as Britain could conceivably join with a little prompting if the escalation were to happen. 46_Trent Affai...

Naturamix

Turns 13-14 East, In the East it seems that Murtagks and I both chose to step up the tempo! Hooker's attack on Ft Sumter went exactly as hoped and the Stars and Stripes flies over the fort once again, all before the end of 1861. 28_Ft Sumter.png Milroy followed up as planned and will probably take F...

Naturamix

Turns 13-14 West, In the West the Union and the CSA mostly maneuvered around Cairo. 29_WestMississippi.png When playing as the CSA in past games I managed to create a lot of trouble for the Union by using Popular Bluff MO as a supply base for raiders against the supply line going from Cairo, down to...

Naturamix

Turns 11-12, As winter approaches the Union had to eat the -10 national morale from not taking Manassas, but things were otherwise uneventful, so it's a good time to take stock and plan the strategy going into '62. I've assembled a division under Hooker and one under Milroy to retake Ft Sumter and C...

Naturamix

Turns 8-10 East, In the East Murtagks gave me a start by attacking with both a newly formed Army of the Shenandoah and Beauregard's Army. 12_Beauregard vs hamilton.png 13_JEJ vs Banks.png Hamilton managed a tactical victory, but both my stacks were forced to retreat. 14_Front Gone.png Although he ha...

Naturamix

Turns 8-10 West, Murtagks really did high-tail it out of Missouri with impressive speed, and destroyed all the depots without a moment's hesitation. 15_Missouri.png It's not worth devoting significant forces or good commanders to the area, but I pushed hard with Sumner and mostly automatically spawn...

Naturamix

Turns 5-7 East As the main armies unlocked I gathered my forces for defense. 08_Eastern Prep.png It is somewhere between a major gamble and futile to try to grab Mananas in 61, so I'll prepare to defend against the CSA for 61 around MD. I know from experience that if the Union holds Leesburg and Ale...

Naturamix

Turns 5-7 West, I have usually had success in the West as either side in past games. This time Murtagks has quite cleverly immediately blown the depots at both Springfield and Rolla, ripped up some rails and retreated. 06_West.png It may be possible to take Springfield in '61. I saw Murtagks buildin...

Naturamix

Turns 1-4 Beauregard got to Sumter in good time and took the fort to kick off the war. 01_Sumter.png We are playing on easy foreign intervention, as this part of the game rarely has an effect on normal settings. This way the CSA may be able to force action from the Union under threat of intervention...

Naturamix

Hello! Murtagks and I are gonna have a CW2 rematch that I'll write up as an AAR. I've been writing my PhD thesis over the last year and consequently have not felt up to writing anything else, so this is the first one in a while. Murtagks and I had a go at "To End All Wars", but it really d...

Naturamix

Another amazing game! It was, indeed, a very close run thing - could've gone either way. When it went bad for the Federals it REALLY went bad all over! Great job to both gallant warriors and thank you for posting this AAR! Thank you, It was certainly the closest game so far. The Union is mechanical...

Naturamix

About the first thing I learned in the game was "Cities are traps" ^^ Thx for sharing. Thank you, it's a fair lesson, though in this case it is worth saying that when Murtagks chose to occupy the city the alternative was being out of supply outside it so both options were bad. In the long...

Naturamix

Louisiana and Virginia to end. In Louisiana Gilbert, having taken Baton Rouge, did what I feared and moved to cut off ABSJ from the rest of the Confederacy. 105_LA.png Kirby Smith's Corps was in position for this exact purpose and hit Gilbert, drawing in both Butler and ABSJ. 107_ButlervsABSJ.png At...

Naturamix

Turn 36-End Virginia 1 Having put Washington under siege and with Lee hammering the Union army I decided to assault DC. 104_DC.png Casualties were heavy on both sides (more for me of course). Murtagks then launched McDowell back across the river to attempt to push me off, but Lee gave the Union anot...
