Re: Cannot recruit troops or build ships as Pre-Meiji Japan (1860)

Thanks for the suggestion and the help!

However, that does not seem to work as I have my big "musket cap" army in Edo, but the Rebel loyalty does not decrease. So I am at loss of what I can do here. :blink:

Cannot recruit troops or build ships as Pre-Meiji Japan (1860)

If the Japanese player chooses the historical path to the Meiji Restauration, each major event chain increases the Rebel loyalty throughout all mainland provinces. After Ii Naosuke is assassinated in 1860, this Rebel loyalty reaches 100% everywhere. This means that the player can no longer recruit a...

Re: Too many issues with Forcepool

As Japan I just purchase new "modernized" divisions well in preparation of the eventual Boshin War, and I either disband the feudal units or use them as expendable auxilliaries or garrisons. Also, warships do not magically upgrade. Like in real life, you have to buy new ones and scrap the ...

What should I put inside GHQs?

Would these function as a Strategic Reserve for all Armies that are attached to it? 2) Also, what is the best way to use Heavy Artillery for offensives?

How can the Russian player deal with the Caucasian tribes? Many of them (the Kuban, Chechens, Azerians, etc) are at war with Russia on the map from the beginning, yet they are diplomatically at peace so they cannot sign a peace treaty. So how can Russia pacify them, what are the mechanics exactly? W...

Re: Use of Armies before Corps are enabled

But Armies cannot initiate combat, as per the manual. So what's the use, without Corps?

Let's say I have an Army with enough units to reach 21 CP, how can I use them for combat? Or should I leave it empty behind and use only Independent stacks to fight, until Corps arrive?

Re: WoN current state

Always felt that soloing was not really playing. There's always the subconscious impulse to favour one side and no mystery exists of the other player's intentions.

I might purchase for multiplayer if there are enough players.

You can move units during this phase, namely available Corps in the Reserves of the activated Army, which are automatically put in a movable stack.
