Hi Everyone, Just saw at a book store yesterday that Jeff Shaara has published a new Civil War book (3 part series) called "Blaze of Glory". This one has to do with the battle of Shiloh. Apparently he will be writing 2 others having to do with Vicksburg & Shermans March. . . (according to Wiki) If y...

This idea crops up in a lot of what-ifs (including Turtledove's, of course) but I'm not sure how realistic it actually is. Yes, Britain imported a lot of cotton from the South, so had an interest in maintaining good commercial relations. But they could buy cotton from Egypt as well, and by the 1880...

Coldsteel, that is a question that could both fill volumes, and be answered in one sentence: The South, I believe, would eventually have to succumb to the North in less than fifty years because of superior manpower, economy, and because most things were invented in the North, because there was bett...

Coldsteel

Good point Captain, There are so many what if's, in this case. Would we have fought again in WWI, more then likely, the South would have had a much closer relationship with Britian & France, so perhaps the North would have entered on the German side and had to slug it out on her own soil rather then...

Really fun thread to read. . . . and ponder. My question is. . . for those of us who are currently US citizens. As romantic as the South winning seems, could you really imagine the US being split up into 2 different countries right now? How different it would be. . . I can only imagine. Like it was ...

Cool, thanks for updating this Spharv. . . .

Speaking of a Roman setting game. . . . now that is interesting.

Coldsteel

VERY interesting read so far. . . .looking forward to future update, I am.

Coldsteel

Waiting on this. . . I am.

Great "what if" books if your into reading, there is a whole series by Harry Turtledove (considered by many to be the leader in Alternative History books) that starts during the civil war with the South winning and then going all the way to WW2. The series gets slow at times, but all in all, the 9 b...

You're right thanks. As the South you get New Orleans or Atlanta, besides Richmond. The move to Richmond on turn 4 is automatic from Montgomery, but I imagine this is canceled if opt to move to NO or Atlanta before then (I hope). Later noticed that Mobile is also an option. :thumbsup: Good question...

On a side note. . . .being born and raised in St.Louis, I find myself attached to both sides of this war. . . . which I guess was pretty common at that time as well.

Coldsteel

I think maybe once I did. . . but I'll fess up to it, I started over right away :-)

Coldsteel

Sounds interesting. . . . Not sure I would just go ahead and give up the "middle" of my country. . . but I'll be waiting to hear how this works out for you!

AACW is a wonderful game. . . . Personally for myself, like stated by others on here, the ACW always was / still is a passion of mine. . . I can't really nail down where that came from, no one in my family growing up was / were big history buffs. . . . But I remember when the movie "Gettysburg" came...

Epic. . .

Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I'm bored at work so. . . what else better then to go looking through the posts that are 3 years old! :-) I personally loved Tom Berengers role as Longstreet in Gburg. . . I guess it was my age (being in my very early teens) when that movie came out, I can't ...

I have had the same issue with St.Louis in the past. Although, with my current game, it appears to be working as my approval rating there is increasing. . . but I guess that could be other factors though, I'm not sure. I also usually put Buell, or whomever else has that perk in charge of the Garriso...

Congrats Lodi, very well deserved! I am at a loss of words after reading what the Queen has posted about you. . . . Just know that everything you do is MUCH appreciated by myself, and everyone else on here. Thank you to the Queen for taking the time to write all of that. . . . that was outstanding s...

Coldsteel

Where is the Queen! Someone must find her!

Coldsteel

Hi Scotty, First off, thank you for your service sir, it is much appreciated! I hope everything is going as best as possible over there for you. I know for me personally, it's just a love of the subject that keeps me interested in the game. And the more you keep at it, the more tricks you learn, whi...

Coldsteel

What a great thread this is!

My Queen, I am not sure if he has been singled out for his work on this site yet, but if not I would recommend "LodiLefty" for an award. . . His work lately on updating the patches must be commended. Not to mention he hasn't snapped at any of us yet for bothering him with all our little issues :bonk...

Coldsteel

Thanks Lodilefty!

THANKS Richfed! I believe that worked!

So I just downloaded the game on Steam and when I go to play it, it's asking for my Serial Key #. . . . how do I get that?

Coldsteel

Hi all,

Just an FYI, Steam has this game for $5.99 right now!
Good time to scoop it up!

Coldsteel

I'm not sure what the heck I am doing wrong (I am by no means a computer genius / programmer type), but everytime I try to update the division limit and I go to save it, I get "Access Denied" and it won't let me save it. . . I open the file with Notepad, I'm not sure what I would need to do to adjus...

Coldsteel

I just bought this game on Steam, they have it for $7.99 right now. . . and since I've had my eye on it for quite some time now, figured it wouldn't get any cheaper then that!
I have it downloading right now. Cant wait to dive into it!
