Hey folks,

It's early Jan. 1862 and Porter just showed up in Chicago with The Cairo. Is this a bug? In every other game that I've played, he shows up in St. Louis. Maybe just random dice roll as to where he shows up?

Whether you use the Army Commander's stack as a Corps Stack or as a reserve stack depends on your style of playing. Both have there merits. That makes complete sense if you decide to use the Army Commander's stack as another Corps stack. The usual inf/arty/cav mix as your other Corps stacks. But wh...

Yes, I'm sure that I'll catch some flak for this innovation (pun intended). Ha! Well, that is a bit gamey, Gray Fox, but I'll give you points for creativity. I got the same information using the "Spy" RGD on New Orleans. I also used the "Marines" RGD to create a couple of Marine regiments next to F...

Slick Wilhelm, If you can tell just by looking that a direct assault will fail, unfortunately bombarding will be enough to tip the battle in your favor, even if they do not have guns. As I understand it, (and I may be wrong, I don't usually bombard much) if there are not sufficiently emplaced guns ...

You can have a lot of fun with an 800 power division and a complement of transports. Fort busting, raiding Texas, resupplying Fort Pickens and fooling around in Florida. Have fun Yes, I think it was Fort Pickens that I was referring to in my previous post. Whatever I do, maybe I'll get lucky and Fr...

It is possible to gauge the level of entrenchment from the defending unit icon. I recall that in ACW, if cannon were present in the sandbagged icon, well, then cannon were present. Perhaps this is no longer the case. It is also possible to get unit ID's from the enemy stack if he has enough MC, cav...

Better, more thorough answers are above. What I would do- use that strong division to capture something in the area, which will supply the reinforcements that will eventually capture New Orleans later. I prefer the fort to the Northeast of NO, but where your troops are now you may want to head sout...

Wait just a minute there, this is really your first question, you can't fool me :p oke: Well, I always like to preface my questions with a question. :wavey: Yes, Farragut's fleet can, if the situation is the same as historical] Alright, I'm trying to get the acronyms down, so is the "Land Sailors R...

Hi guys, So it's early April 1862, and Farragut has slipped past forts St. Philip and Jackson, and deposited John Fremont and his division sized invasion force into the coastal province just SE of the city of New Orleans. Farragut was congratulated on his accomplishment and promoted. As things stand...

Very enlightening thread, gents! I still have some questions, though: 1. Playing as the Union, should I be putting any additional ships into the "Shipping Lane" box? Right now, there are a bunch of my transport ships in there. I believe they have been there since the beginning of the campaign(July 1...

Each replacement chit that you buy will replace a variable number of hits. There is a random factor involved, but on average a replacement chit will replace as many hits as a single element of the appropriate type would have at full strength. Line infantry elements have 20 hits each at full strengt...

So this means to bring this particular Union army back up to full strength is going to require 82 replacements? Is it a one-to-one mapping between hits and replacement points?

Slick Wilhelm

Just a necro-bump in the hope that this issue gets corrected sometime.

So the Army stack does not get targeted in combat - and if it contains artillery elements in the stack - those artillery elements participate in the battle without worry of destruction?

Hey guys, As a Minnesotan, just thought I'd point out a couple of map inaccuracies: 1. The Minneapolis and St. Paul sprites are backwards. St. Paul should be east of the Mississippi, while Minneapolis belongs on the west side. 2. The Winona sprite should be located in the region NW of LaCrosse, WI. ...

^^ If you guys are going to whine and complain about a $5 difference in price for an outstanding game series, then perhaps you should look at a cheaper hobby...if you can find one.

Slick Wilhelm

Yes, but we want a Napoleonic game with ageod engine, an AACW in napo wars!! :( I understand that, but maybe they will be able to fix NC1 enough to make those people happy with NC1. Also, maybe the new, as yet announced AGE engined game, will be something that will make us all VERY happy. I don't t...

Real time? Good God. The paradox assimilation is complete! ageod has been absorbed. Well all good things come to an end. :( RIP Ageod What part of "There will be an AGE/Athena game engine game released in 2012 too, more later be assured" did you not understand? Good grief, people. Get a grip. As lo...

D'oh, I thought for sure that PhilThib's post was going to be the announcement.

Tease.

Slick Wilhelm

Thanks for the fixes so quickly, guys. RUS is already an awesome game, for me the best of the AGE-engined games!

I can't wait! Finally, a game that takes place in the era that most interests me. This is a day-one purchase for me.

Slick Wilhelm

I don't think they are used on new units because you have already paid the full cost. They are used on militial units that convert to infantry units and it's infantry unit replacements that are used in that case. No they are not finite. In other words you can purchase them at whatever rate you migh...

Slick Wilhelm

Even then your replacement ratio needs change depending on army makeup, frequency of battles, etc. As the CSA, you'll find it hard to even maintain 1:1 at first especially when starting with either of the April 1861 Campaigns. _______________________________________ Sent from my Droid X using Swype...

Hi, it's me again. I'm a still fuzzy about how many replacements to purchase each turn. I'm at the very beginning of my April '61 with Kentucky campaign, I think it's June now. Anyway, I've purchased reinforcements, and they are slowly building up strength and cohesion each turn. From the wiki: "You...

Slick Wilhelm

Hey everyone, still working my way through my first game of AACW against Athena. I'm playing the April '61 with Kentucky campaign. Since Corps are not formable(is that even a word?!) yet, do the divisions get any benefit from being near an army stack? My understanding is that the role of an army sta...

I know it man :) . I would be VERY flattered if our AAR actually did have that effect. Really, it would be amazing. It did in my case, Banks. After reading through this AAR with bated breath for the last couple of weeks, I finally put aside my copy of Forge of Freedom(another outstanding game, btw)...

Slick Wilhelm

Thanks again for the most excellent advice, gents.

I'm finally starting to get the hang of playing, and I'm reading(and completely enthralled by) the AAR of the Banks vs. Soundoff game. What a fantastic read!

Slick Wilhelm

Additionally to what Ethan and Jim-NC have stated, there are very few 3-1-1 generals that when promoted also change their ratings. But to be certain always check the List of Commanders that bburns9 was so gracious to compile for us :thumbsup: : http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=16268 Neve...

rgr that, Jim. Will do. Thanks!
