AI Advice

I find the easy method of defeating the AI with either side with any settings by mid1862 is to occupy in force an important location such as Alexandria, Bowling Green, etc.; then sit back and watch the AI attack over and over again each turn with major losses until a Morale Victory is won. Is there ...

Sharpshooter

It is stated in many places that each division should have a Sharpshooter; yet is it correct that actually you just need 1 sharpshooter per stack rather than per division? Also; I believe Elite Infantry has the same initiative as a Sharpshooter, does that mean if you have an Elite Infantry in a stac...

Patching to 1.05rc3

I have downloaded and installed the Beta Patch 1.05rc3 with all appearing good; yet when I run the game, it still says CW2 1.04 in the lower right hand corner when loading.

I assume I have done something wrong, correct? It should say 1.05rc3, correct?

Retreat Direction

Hello!

Why do my CSA forces keep retreating in a northern direction when they lose a battle in the valley of northwest Virginia?
They seem to be retreating in the most dangerous direction and putting themselves between enemy forces with no safe way to return to safety!!!

What am I doing wrong?
