Am curious does the ai still do stupid things like sending jackson and a large army down the valley and laying siege to jersey city during the winter.And remain there till it disappears. Or send cavalry to attack chicago?These occurances happening in 3 games caused me to quit and remove aacw from my...

I know no one will really care but this will be my last post.I am removing aacw and will move on to another cw game. Having studied military history since I was 10 and played more than a few ww2 boardgames I always dreamed of being able to play a good solitaire game since it was always difficult to ...

" A side thought, but an interesting observation/question: I'm wondering how many players are taking every possible unit they build and piling it into forward armies or the East theatre only to sit in DC without moving into Virginia until as Pocus says "the stars are properly aligned", and then are ...

i forgot to add that i was considering purchasing ww1 but i envision a french div.taking berlin unless it is strongly garrisoned.think i'll pass!

barkhorn45

it is difficult to garrison every city in the ne i had a 2 element militia and a regular penn. unit in reading and it is gone and they were at a ent.level of 2. lancaster was similarly garrisoned and they are gone also and j.johnston is now outside of wilmington de.and with beuragard moving north i ...

It is frustrating I agree. The good news is that, if you defend in some depth, keeping militia stationed in all the major towns and cities, the Rebs can seldom break through very far. After a while, build up a reserve and go after them. They will soon enough peter out because of lack of replacement...

over at http://www.subsim.com there is a demo of this game availiable and in the forums a discussion which includes the russian developer who is asking for input,positive and negative.seems the biggest compaint is that it is turn based not real-time,which should be no problem for us wargamers.also t...

here's something else i just got done ready[this discusion got my interest. Let's look at a few quotations. Thomas Jefferson in his First Inaugural Address said, "If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union, or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments...

Stand on Cemetery Hilll; Malvern Hill, the Sunken Road, Burnside's Bridge, the Corn Field, the Hornet's Nest etc. And, ask yourself that foolish question. THERE IS NO RIGHT OF SUCCESSION under the US Constitution. No State was forced to join the Union and no state once joined can succeed. That matt...

as i wrote in a previous post the governor of virginia was hesitant to sign the ratification but was told by the convention that it was nonbinding and his state could pull out of the union at anytime. But Patrick Henry warned him"But some future president may invade your country{a "state"being a cou...

The following is taken from the chapter entitled “Forced Marches” from Captain William DeForest’s fine narrative. DeForest, a line officer in Company D, 12th Connecticut Infantry, penned these memories from his time in Louisiana during the spring and summer of 1863. Though a year before the Red Rive...

a "forced march"during the acw was at the point of the bayonet which was used to "force"the men to march beyond their usual endurance level not a good way to win the respect and admiration of the rank and file.Jackson used this tactic quite often and so was not universally admired by his men as has ...

as an interesting aside when the constitution was being ratified the govenor of virginia objected to some of the clauses and was told that the constitution was none binding and virginia could pull out of the union if it choose to.to which patrick henry,showing extreme forethought told him"yes but so...

i read on another post of someone choosing 159 units!how does one get to choose that many?i run out of conscript points long before that the most i've ever been able to get at one time is 38 before i run out of con.points

i had pulled the gen.in ? out of hamilton's stack and placed him in the same region then selected rail and river movement and got the 83 day result

barkhorn45

barkhorn45

when i call for vol and full mob.are the forces called up placed on the map eventually or do i purchase them from the rein.section seems i can't really purchase that many as the conscript amount they call for or am i wasting funds that could be used to build eng.med.and sig.and navy?hope this is'nt ...
