What more do you know about the Haitian soldiers serving in Napoleon's army? This is actually my professional field. I'd love to find out what you know. I know that some of the Haitian officers who came over to Napoleon at the time of the 1802 invasion were deported to France and continued to serve...

More recent research on the Napoleonic era is indicating black soldiers saw a far greater role in combat than previously imagined. eg http://www.napoleonic-literature.com/Articles/Black_Soldiers.htm I'm sure there was a unit in the French Napoleonic army which consisted almost solely of former slave...

I still miss being able to read the manual in the, erm, bathroom.... But as long as the site accepts my or my flatmate's CC, then digital download is fine. It's nice knowing that your money is going directly to the people who are making games you want to play rather than them getting some ludicrous ...

Thanks Pocus and the volunteers who helped out with this patch.

Frequently for hold at all costs. Rarely for assaulting somewhere. Primarily because I try not to have to assault - usually my only two are in the first turn as CSA...

Download was swift, install equally as fast. No obvious problems from a quick couple of turns on grand campaign.

Looking forward to playing to see if I can spot all the changes.

AGEOD games does that. The higher the resolution, the bigger the number of regions you can display. The interface extends too, up to 1600 in width. But you need a rather buffy video card to display so much regions. This is good to know - I've been playing in ye olde 1280 x 1024 because it's such a ...

I've bought AACW and enjoy playing it. Napoleonic warfare is what I grew up with as a grognard. However the scale isn't quite right for me with AGEOD's Napoleonic game so I probably won't be buying (can't do Napoleonics without Poniatowski's V Crops recreated down to the last Uhlan!). Not really sur...

Congratulations Aphrodite Mae and Dixiecrat.

What is the tab drop method? If you keep the unit screen open, then you can scroll to the location and then pull the unit there by clicking and dragging the tab of the unit (ie the relevant little brown rectangle type shape which says either the unit name or CSA detachment etc). On my PC (512 mb ra...

Hesitant to even post this, because it's one of my favorite tricks. I'll just state it, and let others figure out how it's done. I've given a few hints in various places around the forums. You won't even get a one-turn warning of an amphibious invasion playing PBEM against me, unless I feel like gi...

Point is, that fleet you see can land anywhere along well over 2,000 miles of coast, they might be headed to NO, or Mobile, or any number of points. But, NO is the most important coastal city for the CSA, so you want to defend it as well as you possibly can. As for stranding the union in a bad area...

It's certainly fun to play battles at a slightly less speedy pace. Much appreciated

Supply doesn't seem to be an issue. As long as transports are stationed adjacent to the region they will supply the troops there. One gunboat is enough to disrupt the supply given several hours testing against Athena and some posts by Pocus as guidance. I am always open to error though given I've j...

Thank you. One of those when the forum search criteria are either too vague or not specific enough

Noticed this on my current campaign: Certain militia which are unlocked by event, if attacked before the event, then relock when the unlocking event then fires. Specifically, I've noticed this with Columbia and Clarksburg militias. Both have been attacked and have been unlocked, both have retreated ...

Zebedee

The benefit of a fort is that it can hold off a much larger attacking force with minimal troops. This will give you time to get reinforcements down there to properly defend the region. New Orleans is a good place to put a fort. It generates the most cash and WS of any Southern city outside of Richm...

Partisans and raiders to resupply themselves before destroying a captured depot would be quite nice ;) When combining stacks, for the highest level of entrenchment to be retained. This would save a lot of micromanagement and really doesn't have any impact on game play other than reduce frustration w...

Zebedee

Nice one (hopefully!)

Zebedee

Will have a play over the weekend - the Gettysburg one sounds like fun with the reduced timescale. Cheers

Zebedee

On first glance now that you have provided the "text", it appears to possibly be a typo that might be causing the problem. I'll look into it. Almost all events are "evt_nam_..." not "ext_nam_..." It's probably named "evt_nam..." in the LocalStrings file, but the event description itself had the typ...

From my limited experience of the game, siege guns get captured by cavalry very, very easily. In my current campaign, I don't think I've built a single one but every one of my corps has at least a set

Zebedee

One other point Zeb that took me forever :wacko: to figure out it seemed, is that Divisions are not worth it unless you combine more than 5 or 6 units to create it. No one I know of has done a break-even analysis on exactly where the sweetspot lies, but it's something to keep in mind. Essentially, ...

Zebedee: Creating divisions can be a tad difficult at first, but here's a link to a thread that has a small tutorial on how to create divisions: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=9381 Maybe it'll help. Regards Hugely appreciated Gray. Step by step is the way forward for me with this one a...

Hi Gray, re. Sumter Sq. Checking again, the harbour is Charleston and I only noticed because I was going to put it in the same stack as a badly beat up squadron of frigates which have long sailed after being repaired. It looks like some kind of tooltip bug rather than a bug with the actual 'repairs'...

I kind of accidentally won on my first proper full campaign with CSA. http://images6.theimagehosting.com/victory.2aa.th.jpg It was a tad anti-climactic as I certainly wasn't expecting to win the war in 6 months. I still haven't managed to figure out how to make divisions either :( If the automatic v...

Zebedee

No worries, should still be possible to track it down :) The text of the event reads: ext_nam_CSA_TexasRgrBde Hope that helps a little more than my vague initial post :) ----- Couple of other things, which may or may not have been spotted and may or may not be errors (I have a saved game which has ...

Haven't wargamers always been the testers for games? I know some of us remember halcyon days of walking into a shop and buying a game and not needing to patch the game, but what I think we tend to forget is that was because there were no real methods to patch the games and I can certainly recall sev...

Hi guys, I'm using patch 1.11. It could well be file corruption as my download now is reading as being corrupt since being transferred onto CD and so is totally unusable for a reinstall. It could well have been corrupted to begin with. If it's my download of 1.11 which is corrupt, then I can't reins...

Hi arsan, the event fired some months previously - and I received a general with 3 small 'brigades' of militia. A few turns after the event fired (c.late October), St.Louis revolted and it was me (CSA) who received Lyon and a sizeable army and fleet. I wish I'd taken screen shots now - but I receive...
