I downloaded patch 1.01, but still no corps formation. Which is the latest patch, and where do I find it? Thanks.

This was a wonderful book. The author is a sincere man who blends in with various groups in order to illustrate how modern Americans understand the War. He sleeps in the mud and eats salt pork with the hardcores, he interviews an afro-centric radical, he attends Lee-Jackson Day parties and Martin Lu...

Dear Frenchmen, I study American history, and I am always excited to encounter Europeans who share this interest: especially since, in comparison, their own histories are much larger and complicated than the history of my own country. Please explain why the American Civil War interests you. Does it ...

When is an army allowed to form corps? I am playing in April of 1862, and still have a map full of divisions.

The Confederate Powder Works in Augusta, Georgia were a marvel of engineering in their day. Though the Confederate government relied on the genius of a Southern-sympathizing Pennsylvanian for their construction and management, they were said to illustrate the only industrial venture where the Confed...

I've been playing as the Confederates in the 1864 scenario, and a couple of months in, I face a major supply crisis. Lee, Johnston, and Polk all lose supply at the same rate until the men begin to disband because of starvation. I have replayed the scenario and tried to anticipate the crisis by indus...

What is an effective grouping under an officer? I've tried to keep every division, and thus every corps, grouped with a good variety of units. For instance, my average division consists of several infantry groups, a sharpshooter unit, a cavalry unit or two, and an artillery unit or two. I am curious...

I do not understand the function of the Field Hospital. Does it help your units repair after battle? Also, how many of them should I get? Should I group them with my corps, or keep them with the army HQ?

I am unable to load Ageod's Civil War on my computer. When I click the icon to load the program, a black screen pops up with a bar at the bottom, recording the progress of the program. It loads less than a quarter of the program, and then freezes. Eventually, a box pops up that says "AACW.exe is not...

That is why this kind of discussion is so much fun.

According to the "Lost Cause" school on the War, the Confederates never really had a chance to win the War, yet fought it anyway. Jubal Early and Douglas Southall Freeman were both proponents of this view. Oddly, this "defeatist" attitude and interpretation seems chiefly Southern. I do suppose that ...

One of the perks about being modern, I suppose. We can pick out any bit of value or beauty no matter where it came from or where we find it.

Pemberton1

You must forgive me, Le Ricain. I did not notice where you were from.

Pemberton1

Le Ricain, Bravo for the lyrics. Just as the Yankees came up with a new version of Dixie for their invasion, the Southerners came up with a new version of it for their defense. Here follows yet another version of Dixie. Oh, have you heard the joyful news? Virginia does Old Abe refuse! To arms, to ar...

SojaRouge, On the contrary, I myself do see it as a War of Secession. The South sought no conquest, but insisted on independence. The North sought conquest of a society that wished to govern themselves. It is only very unpopular to refer to the War as "The War of Secession" or "The War Between the S...

Pemberton1

Brochgale, I'm very pleased to hear a word from Scotland on this point: another land with a history of war against civilians. I do suppose such brutal behavior is a debatable point in war, but there certainly cannot be a question about the eternal consequences of such wickedness. What does it profit...

Pemberton1

Le Recain, My point is that Sherman evacuated Atlanta after passionate protest from men of stature who obviously saw the thing to be horrible and cruel. I post this to suggest that Sherman's actions, whatever his intentions, were very severe and of dire consequences. Mayor Calhoun's testamony is qui...

I must admit that most Americans are not interested in the War either, and know nothing about it. Folks who are interested, like myself, face hostility from our own countrymen about our interest in the War. We are told "the North won. Get over it." Yet, it was a major turning point in our history, a...

I am very happy to see so many responses. Vive la France! Do any of you French know the story of the CSS Alabama at Cherbourg? I've read that the people of the city came out to the beach with rebel flags to cheer for the Alabama as she left the harbor to meet her doom. She was sunk just outside of C...

Pemberton1

Odd that you treat Sherman's order for the city's evacuation so lightly. Hood's correspondence with Sherman on the subject is quite illuminating, I think. He, an experienced man of war, contends that the evacuation itself was exceptionally severe and cruel, as does the Mayor of Atlanta, Mr. James Ca...

It surprises me and interests me that French folks seem so interested in the American Civil War. I am curious about the name used for the War in French. Is the Civil War commonly called "The War of Secession" in French? That name amazes me, as it is quite against the trend of interpretation of the W...
