"The engineer turned Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Robert Bruce concluded: “If a large part of the Union Army had been given breech-loaders by the end of 1862, Gettysburg would certainly have ended the war. More likely, Chancellorsville, or even Fredericksburg would have done it.” ht...

Because its like having C DeGaulle leading a all French SS formation after France falls in a ww2 game. Its that level of absurdity being proposed. There is zero possobility of Lee taking command against anuy State in secession. We know this because Lee tells us this is the case. This game does not ...

Except that its Union Cav under a Union officer, given by the Union, all of which are no longer in the State, to Houston, who has lost office and voted out by a large margin because he represents a minority view. He has no widespread support at all, yet N Texas loyalty drops off the map. Except it ...

There is no definitive answer to whether the Southern states had a legal right to secede. The mass secession of southern states was also not the first time there was a threat of secession. Already in 1786 the question was raised. See Shays’ Rebellion. At that time the idea of its legality was...

* Sam Houstin is not a plausable what if either, he had fought one secesssion war and won it, his objection to fighting another was that it was unwinnable. "To secede from the Union and set up another government would cause war. If you go to war with the United States, you will never conquer her, a...

Lee lost a lot the first year of the war. - He lost West Virginia to McClellan because of his overly complicated cockamamie battle plans. - Then the "King of Spades" dug in off the coast, with his plans being to allow the North to capture offshore posts, then defeat them once they moved inland. The...

Sorry, Temgesic , I didn't mean to blow off your suggestion. I think that if given Lee's military genius early on, in addition to all the other advantages the Union had, the war would have been much shorter and the outcome never remotely in doubt. I'm sure the talented folks at AGEod could produce ...

That's awesome, but is it really gamey or is it just a clever and well executed tactic? Depends on if it is Aethena or a PBEM oppenent. Athena may not be programmed well enough to note that the US riverine navy can have serious negative effects on riverine movement if she doesn't have ships to supp...

As the CSA I only rarely buy heavy artillery chits, since they are really expensive and get burned up filling out Coastal Artillery in all your forts. I haven't played enough to obverse fully if the coastal arty is effective. Historically it couldn't hit the faster moving steam ships and often did ...

jjw509

I have played through sept now with auto replacements off and it has made a huge difference. It looks like you get some free chits and I think the AI was way overbuying for a period where not much combat was occurring and armies were building. I was able to flesh out the 4 divisions of the ANV for w...

I was able to mod the events for CSA easily to fix the Price has a force that looks more like 1864 in 1861. I was able to make the force MSG and found an error where one should have been a CSA_VOL_bde with only 2 elements instead of a CSA_VOL_AR. However, those events don't fire if you start in late...

jjw509

Thanks. At first I thought the % of number of elements was a little hard to figure because I did see the number of elements of each type but this might be something better handled with experience. On one hand I don't need a lot of replacements in May and June of 1861 still I have balance that with I...

This seems to only happen these two turns when I max builds on early may and early june. I haven't seen it happen other times so I am not sure if it is a bug or if auto-replacement spending is just extremely heavy in these turns because a large amount of forces appear as states secede and the ANV is...

Next turn early June conscript pool, WS, and money all match on tool tip and counter. Now late June. Again no builds but counters show resources but resources unequal to tool tips.

ScreenShot 1 Shows enough conscripts to at least get flatboats. Still ending conscripts is not equal to what is shown. Counter shows 30 tooltip shows 16. Build bar shows not enough for a flatboat.

jjw509

The force pool was there but I couldn't build a single unit due to lack of resources I guess but the game was showing I had some conspricts, WS, and plenty of money. I will see if I can get a screenshot.

try playing Leitenant AI this make you face semi historical numbers agasint USA you will be constantly fighting larger stacks than yours as it was in reality. +2 activision bonus so the AI actually move and do some naval landing, low bonus detection to prevent them going suicide rush in middle of c...

jjw509

What setting do most of you guys play on? I think tried the one just before veteran where there is a big chance a non-activated general can't move at all. With plus 2 activation as the South I find I feel like the sides have flipped before Lee comes in when I have Beauregard and/or Johnson sitting s...

I have noticed there are turns early using when I start an April campaign in May and June my conscript pool, war materials, and money show I can build units but I can't. Is this a bug or is the game not showing the conscripts used for replacements. I keep auto replacement on 10% so I am not sure if ...

Thanks I was trying the Silsbee campaign to get a smaller campaign to learn better. It starts with a bunch of Indians against Texas. I was having problems once militia left the fort to try to get rid of Indians. I think the problem was no supply wagons so they could not stay away from the fort that ...

jjw509

I am playing easy supply off but I am not 100% I understand the system. Particularly in the far west there are no depots and I don't tend to see stockpiles anywhere. Do I have to build a chain of depots from Austin to El Paso to get supply going? The reegions are green but when say Indians attack in...

jjw509

I have been looking at this a bit and it seems like starting in April vs. July of 1861 has some pros and cons. I have only played CSA so there maybe greater benefits to the union. I haven't played a full game yet but started a few times in April and started over after learning lessons from Athena. :...

Ah Patton spoke French well. He gave a speech in French after the landings in France essentially saying like Lafayette came to the US to aid the revolution the US has come to liberate the land of Lafayette. He trained in France as a fencer and one was one of the few Americans to become a master fenc...
