I just finished the short campaign 1762-'63 (as Prussia, a good next step after the saxon campaign: fairly short, leaving out the Swedes and no russian front). I went for the objectives. I attacked Kassel, Saxony and the silesian border fortresses. Athena offered battle at each of them, with signifi...

Just had a look at the map around Breslau and noticed that the river flowing there into the Oder is called Glatzer Neisse but does actually not pass Glatz. Looking at Google Maps I found the Glatzer Neisse flowing north through Glatz ( fort on the eastern bank ), then east through Neisse ( fort nort...

If I am not completely mistaken, in AACW an Army stack could not initiate combat itself but just support friendly forces or defend itself. Is this the same in RoP? Thinking about giving Fritz some extra experience by staffing his stack with some serious combat power and sending him for some easy vic...

... Once supply has been shuffled around, then units using up supply can use them if there is a structure or wagon in or adjacent to the region they are in. ... Two questions on that, also based on the english manual (Chapter 10.4.3): 1. You say the wagons can also supply troops in adjacent regions...

... some wording mean the same in game term, so this can be confusing. There are 6 rounds per day, but sometime a round can be called an hour or an exchange. The first round (which is internally round 0, not round 1 if you wonder) see the opponents start from the initial distance and exchange fire ...

... Evade is mostly used to move without being intercepted. It can really work reliably if your force is small and/or has a lot of cavalry or skirmishers. The retreat chance and the evade chance are not using the same formula but most if not all of the parameters used in one is used in the other, s...

Well, I don't really have any myself, but I would be interested in some book suggestions on the era. I don't want to start without any book suggestion, so I add a link to a contemporary book on the Seven Years War: Archenholz, Johann Wilhelm von - Geschichte des siebenjährigen Krieges in Deutschland...

Well, I obviously haven't encountered any limitation so far, but one thing I am not sure about are the map borders in the west. I guess it has something to do with french developers not wanting us Prussians invade France :neener: The French were forced back and Ferdinand of Brunswick even crossed th...

You might check your transport capacities as well, in your case rail and riverine in particular. If you have not invested in those or are shipping/railing large armies around this will reduce your transport capacities in the supply phase.

What does qualify as a move here for the Richmond event?! Would a small cavalry raid already qualify (I'd assume no)? Or is it bound to have an army command there?! Or is it again required to gain a certain level of military control of one of these regions? And is it just checked at the end of the t...

As you two are now active in this thread as well, I might just as well put my appreciation for your efforts and dedication in here :gardavou: Just reading your AARs brought me back a few times to play yet another campaign - very inspiring and always good reads :coeurs: And just now when I finally ha...

Yes, XP "sees" up to 3,2 Gig or something. But, unless I am totally mistaken - which happens a lot, of course :D - each application per se is unable to use more than 2 Gig RAM Indeed, there is a way around that limitation if the application is build accordingly: Large Address Aware Flag ⋅ ...

Haven't seen this poll in the past, and as I just upgraded last month to a new PC + 23" monitor I can now add the 'odd' 16:9 resolution of 2048:1152.

When you can model the "intelligence" needed to win a Chess game with a simple algorithm that uses Brute force and a simple decision rule like the Minimax, it clearly shows you that the complexity of the game is not that big. Yes, chess needs a "crude" algorithm but because computers and humans are...

Another thing I actually wonder is how many Armies Soundoff has in the field - Grant in the East with something like 7 or 8 Corps, Meade in Tennessee with maybe 5 or 6 Corps and I think that's about it - is there an Army command (e.g. Butler) down south??? Little Macs Corps down near New Orleans sho...

Yepp, Banks risked a lot in his last 'campaign', but he also won a lot of time by it. And usually that's how you 'win' time, by trading ground or resources. The way it went he certainly got cheap of... One thing that got lost along with the first edition of my previous post is the fact that the Sout...

Picking up the discussion started in Soundoffs thread (I think this one is more appropriate for this discussion), I agree with cobraII that Banks did not play too agressive. The positive effect of his continuous aggressions can also be seen in Soundoff plans for his next turn , with two corps (Hamil...

I always delete the previous QuickFix post to prevent confusion as to which one is the latest. I didn't realize Pocus would post a link direct to a previous QuickFix post. There's nothing I can do at the moment to eliminate the wrong posted link in Pocus original post. Just a little suggestion - in...

Just tossing an idea in the discussion: I am not into all the numbers and such, but couldn't you put some irregular troops into ambush on the most juicy targets behind your main line, hoping to catch the raiding cavalry? What's the success probability for such an ambush against cavalry? :confused: I...

My last round as the Union against Athena I played with that option. Interestingly enough, sometimes I was allowed to move not activated leaders, so it is not as strict as the tooltip implies. And no, it seems not to affect units with no leader. But you can't take e.g. a division from a locked Corps...

One might think of a chain of events that triggers with respect to a certain National Moral level and in relation to certain dates. E.g. you might make Partial Mobilisation available for the North if NM is/drops below 90NM in early '62, 100NM late 62/63 ... Same for Full Mob. with even lower theshol...

You both forgot one important information - how to switch to the units roster:

Possible that we see the end of it, if Franklin reaches Burkeville in time - half the way he can rail, so he should do it. That would be up to ~60k for the Union vs. ~60k CSA troops. As Banks planned to split his attack, it will look more like this ⋅ Jacksons 20k vs. Whipple 14k + Franklin...

Have not thought this through properly but its occured to me that one possible way of having 'aides' would be for the theatre commanders to each have a Corp commander under their wings. Could also be useful for the President....to be able to promote a Corp commander and demote an Army commander. On...

Just out of couriosity, a successful McD somewhat implies a bad Jackson/ANV performance for the south. Would this accelerate Granny Lee taking command?!
