I didn't need any clarifications.

I was speaking strictly to the game and the units available under the 'REGULAR' and 'MILITIA' tabs in the reinforcement pool, with the latter all being called in the game Volunteer regiments.

Thanks.

I am looking foward to this game greatly. Napoleonic era is probably my favorite.

In the mean time I will buy Crowns of Glory and play with that before this game comes out.

Do you usually use regular infantry? My first games I called up only volunteers, but I think that may be too much management to combine them into very small brigades and find artillery and cavalry to add. I was thinking of calling up only enough volunteers in the start to garrison my cities with a r...

Replacing those horses and quarter masters seems expensive to me in terms of war supplies. 5 companies of men and 5 tons of war supplies, same amount of war supplies for Field Artillery and five times as much as those for a Line infantry replacement. Those must be high tech wagons.

Further The second experimental Ironclad, the New Ironsides, was the least revolutionary of the three in design and yet, in almost everey respect, by far the most successful. Strangely, the New Ironsides has always been over-shadowed by the Monitor. Despite the fact that thsi type offered a consider...

'New Ironsides' was intended to be a shallow-draft armored ship It was a shallow-draft armored ship, shallow for an ocean going warship . You compare NI in in some aspects against the Monitors, and in still others against foreign vessels. Her reputation, also seeing those accounts of her actions at...

If I read the boxes correctly - your units were not killed to a man, they were taken prisoner (I assume the 'casualty' report includes prisoners taken?). The first battle shows eight companies surrendering, the second shows eleven surrendering. Both battles show a very considerable superiority for t...

I thought the very same when I saw those conditions, "wow, they're all practically on the 'border'".

No offense intended to anyone here, but why does it seem like every thread posted on this forum degenerates into a historical debate? I wasn't really asking about the historical reasons why the Union didn't build many armored frigates - just curious why they disappeared from my reinforcements scree...

I'm under the impression that the psychological effect that naval guns had on land forces far exceeded their actual capacity for harm.............. Unless the land forces are formed up in line of battle directly on shore, the naval guns aren't even going to have a target to aim at, and it seems hig...

The Union never built many ocean-going armored frgates. The 'New Ironsides', the sloop 'Galena' and perghaps the 'Dunderberg' pretty much exhaust the list of new construction. The steam frigate 'Roanoke' was cut down and converted to a triple-turret monitor type but was unsuccessful (the hull and t...

I am currently reading 'Blue and Gray Navies; The Civil War Afloat" by Spencer Tucker and have so far gotten to the latter stages of the Vicksburg campaign. It's a fairly new book and anyone interested in the period naval warfare should pick it up. Some information from him relating to this topic: -...
