HI, I purchased To End All Wars with the Bundle Stars sale. So far I am enjoying it. However, I do have the exact same problem with the blinking. I have tried not moving my mouse, but it still happens. I've noticed that it only happens on the commanding general of my stack. If I go to the 2nd genera...

Interesting sites. I did read the "Why do so few blacks Study the civil War" article. I agree with some things...and not so sure about his take on others. It was still a good read. Thank for sharing with me.

Well truthfully my interest wasn't much until recently. After watching Gettysburg and reading The Angels, AND God's and Generals I developed what I would call a real interest. When I was in school we never learned that much about the Civil War. I am a Black man born and raised in Louisiana, where th...

Yeah. I wish they would too. I'm learning plenty by reading many of these posts as the questions are similar to mine.

Last night I felt I was beginning to start piecing things together. I am still horrible at the game. But things are starting to make a little bit of sense to me now.

Grant is the commanding General of the Army of Tennessee. Right now I have Sherman's division under a corps headed up by Mclernand...not what I want. I'll try and be more creative.

This has been a very helpful thread as well. I appreciate the willingness for veterans to assist newer folks. Although I'm mired in learning the game, I am having a very good time.

Far West Scenario....was Seeing the Elephants.

To clarify ArmChairGeneral, give Sherman a division - he's more likely to get a promotion that way rather than as an extra general in a stack. I see. That does clarify it. He starts off as General of the 5th Division. I've done some experimenting with moving stacks and reorganization along with a c...

I noticed that Sherman is a 1-star general and can't lead a corps. So I'll make him second in command to McLernand. Maybe that'll help. I'm just testing stuff out.

Thanx again gents. I read the strategy portion of the AACW Wiki last night and learned much about putting divisions and corps together with Armies. Much of it was very similar to what you wrote Armchair General. Thanx so much.

I'll go looking for the original since it may help a newbie like myself.

Can anyone give me a few tips on setting up the corps at the beginning of the West Scenario? I see 4 armies including Grant's Army of Tennessee which only has divisions, as does the Mississippi Command. I've read the how on setting up corps and divisions, but I'm not sure I understand the best way t...

"Montessori method" Ah yes. Been to a couple of Montessori schools...good stuff. However, we're home-schoolers. ;) I love the independence we have with the education of our kids. But that is off-topic. Thanx for all your help gents. I think I'll take the smaller West and Far West campaigns and have ...

Thanks. I barely understand the game yet. I am not sure when I'd try multi play. Although, with my schedule PBEM sounds fun.

Oh well, that is what I'd feared. I was hoping smaller scenarios would also be somewhat satisfying, not only to learn the game mechanics, but also to play them out.

Thanx for your reply. Would you say the same thing about Gettysburg as well?

Seeing the Elephants, am I missing something?

Just purchased Civil War 2 and Bloody Roads South. I've also updated it to 1.04 RC6. I've never played these types of games before and am a relative newbie to wargaming in general. I've played all the tutorials and watched Charles Cummings excellent tutorials as well. I've decided to start with a sm...
