Artillery Only Units

I think I've seen where an artillery only unit/division always attacks the strongest opposing unit first with a first strike. In that case, does that unit need to be in its own stack, or can it be bundled into other stacks and keep that advantage?

Belle Boyd

I saw a post about using Belle Boyd, but years ago so may not even be monitored or followed.

It gave me the impression you don't do anything with her, except keep her from being captured. That's it.

That correct?

Inaccessible Units

Currently playing East Scenario (2-Star). Some units, such as boats, are listed in Iberville LA, but LA is an inaccessible region for this particular game. Am I missing something?

Belle Boyd

Not really sure how to use Belle Boyd. Do I bounce her around units, and she'll give them intel? Do I send her into enemy unit territory, then bring her back to a unit, kind of like scouting with cavalry?

Re: Battle Winner

OK, so basically, did you hold or retreat, then check battle results for inflicts and losses to get an idea. The victor in a battle is determined by battle points (BP). If you hold the ground, that's 5 BPs. If you retreat, you lose 5 BPs. One BP for each National Morale point gained or the opposite ...

I've had battles where the numbers ALL seem to be in my favor and vice versa, but the opposing side wins. What am I missing here? How does the game determine a battle victor?

No, it's a 117 turns, if number of turns is what you are referring to.

I will keep the restart in mind. When it crashes I get a small white box with what looks like a message in German. Sometimes I can keep going, sometimes not.

The increase doesn't appear, and I can still request war bonds again on my next turn. When it works in other scenarios, I see the major increase.

Seemingly Buggy Game

I purchased CW2 and the DLC on October 16. I know it's been a couple of months, but I like the concept, and have been trying to give this game a chance. Multiple scenarios keep crashing, and some aspects of some don't work properly. I won't repeat as I've been trying the forums for assistance, and p...

Re: War Bonds Don't Issue

Well, that didn't help either, but thanks yet again.

I posted this on the Steam CW2 Tech Support board to see if that gets me anywhere. May just be a bug in this scenario. Fortunately there are plenty of others.

Thanks for the reply.

Where do I find this? I looked through the Options and didn't see anything about an "administrative" mode. I have played other scenarios, and war bonds worked fine.

That seems to be the case, but I was wondering why they are even mentioned at all, if you can't play them.

War Bonds Don't Issue

Is there a reason war bonds won't issue when requested? I select them and get Davis' signature but they never issue according to the messages and money. The next turn I can request them again, over and over. I am playing the 1862 East Scenario. A couple of other scenarios seem to work fine.

It's giving me notifications about boats in Iberville, LA, but I can't do anything with them.

When I point to that region, it says region cannot be entered in this scenario.

I'm sure the stats are FAR more important than the battle heading (who won), but just curious how "Victory" is decided.

How do you tell which ships are blockade runners, blockade raiders, etc.? I don't see that in their names or descriptions. Do their characteristics tell you, such as speed, combat power, etc.?
