ncuman and patryn8, I read your comments when you posted them and so was pleasantly suprised with what happened in my game this afternoon. Playing the CSA, it's got to early Jan '64, a date which I think is significant. I had managed to 'hold the line' and was basically in control of Missouri, Kentu...

Screen capture of your event in-game -- like what was posted above. 'Screen capture'. Of course! :bonk: I don't believe so. It happened many turns ago. I don't really know whether you can go back to saved games and do this. I'm not very technical in terms of games. I just play them. Even doing this...

This sounds really strange to me -- do you have a screen cap? I thought Fort Monroe was one of the "permanent fortifications" and could not be destroyed? Sorry, what do you mean by 'screen cap'. And you're right, I thought Fort Monroe was a permanent fixture but it's definately been destroyed in th...

Yeah, and there might have been a couple of glasses of wine involved aswell

Ah yes, I had forgotten about this thread but mainly because I seemed to have solved it. Not long after my last post I noticed that there was no US fleet in Hampton Roads so, being very careful where it was placed, I got Magruder over to Fort Monroe. I then had to raise the siege because Magruder wa...

Jabberwock, thanks for the response. Yes, they were both active as I recall. Admittedly things have moved on from then and the siege has been lifted as The Union continue their apparent random manouvres across Virginia. But I was just querying the apparent anomoly of having a siege going on in the s...

I'm currently playing April '61 scenario as CSA and as usual (well OK I've played it once before so this is the second time) I'm getting hammered in Virginia (it's December '62 now btw) :p leure: . The point is that at Fredericksburg I have Magruder INSIDE the city and Beauregard's Army of the Potom...

Jabberwock, yeah I just tried dropping Magruder very carefully into the Fort Monroe region rather than the fort itself, keeping my eye on the terrain bar and the tool tip to check exactly where I was. I got a message saying 'can't reach the destination from here'. There happens to be a significant U...

Good question, infact I've been wondering about this aswell. I've tried to get Magruder to attack Fort Monroe from James City but nothing happens. Do you have to be very very accurate about where you drop him? Does the presence of a Union fleet in Hampton Roads prevent it (I often had this problem p...

Thanks for the quick replies. :coeurs: Ofcourse in the usual way of these things, as soon as I'd posted my question, I clicked on F9 (Objectives) and there in big letters was 'Capital:Richmond (Richmond VA)'.........which sort of spells it out doesn't it? :bonk: And Rafiki, I had been wondering what...

Hello All, New Boy here. Got the game a few weeks ago, done a few tutorials and scenarios, just started a full April '61 Campaign as CSA and then discovered this forum. I've read a great many of the threads and discovered a great deal, thanks to you all, which means I might abandon my current game (...
