Wow, I love your thoughts on the game. A very impressive introduction to this forum.

You have limited number of coton bales. Sometimes some of it goes bad and you get nothing. So, if you don't play the card, you are gambling for larger sum. In my experience, if you don't play cards at all, you'l be able to sell abot 20% of the cotton you have for 50 $. is there anywhere that lists ...

Rosencrans should have waited for you to cross. Who was this against? Athena? What is the NM of the Union?

It is an impressive battle and a sad day for the Union. I suppose it is the end of the young Republican party.

Wheat, I'd take advantage of the offer by BVW to share screens. However, reading back over the post, one player doesn't send the ORD and the other the HST. Follow the instructions exactly. One player works on things at a time. * Enter your FIRST turn and DO NOT PROCESS- SAVE and close the game. * Se...

If the fleets are all in Fort Clark NC, this is a bug which has already been reported, but I haven't heard what was going to be done about it. This issue is: - the fleet contains ships which are not shallow; steam frigates, sail frigates, etc - the harbor exit point from Fort Clark is into the wate...

I'm in a PBEM with GregVanM. GVM is playing USA v me as CSA. He asked me about three fleets that are seeming locked. However, there is no sign they are locked. Greg gave me permission to look at the units (this is from game turn one. We are now on game turn four and it appears they are still locked)...

I think your son should post the game here. We can give tips on trashing you

When this and the other thread are complete, they should be combined and then stickied.

So... THAT'S what that icon means on the load page! :) Wheat, if you can accomplish a few turns following the directions I gave, there is some more stuff (and you get to hear from people who are even more accomplished than me, such as Cardinal Ape. :) ) Write back when you have that done and we'll g...

ONE player, let's call them the Union, starts the game. They do not process their turn, but save their turn after completing all orders. In the file for the game you'll find the game has generated some files. Look at this illustration: [ATTACH]34251[/ATTACH] * Player one completes all orders and SAV...

It may be hard to understand for people who haven't lived in the US, it's hard for some of us who live here to wrap our heads around, but same the "Confederate" flag which some adopted as a symbol of hate and segregation is today used by many as symbol of individual liberty. Being from born in New ...

BTW looking at the US state flags I only see Mississippi as problematic, others state flags seem to differ so much from the battle flag that I doubt they should be changed. First, I was concerned, when I posted this article (I wrote this BTW) that comments could become heated. They have not, in gen...

PB783-This is the full quote from apple, I see you only put part of it in your original post. "We have removed apps from the App Store that use the Confederate flag in offensive or mean-spirited ways, which is in violation of our guidelines,” an Apple spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. "We are ...

Is CW2 affected, was it for sale on itunes? Is itunes the same as the apple app store? No, ACW2 is not affected. It is available for download to PC. Slitherine sells a number of games on the iTunes store, but there are no Civil War titles. The terms iTunes and AppStore, in this story, are the same.

This could get heated. Please try to control your worst tendencies. I have written this using my real name and using a journalistic style. If it needs to be moved, I will not argue. However it is something I was discussing with another gamer earlier today.

Reuters, The Hill and other news outlets are reporting that Apple has removed games from its iTunes store that feature the Confederate battle flag. Games include 'Ultimate General: Gettysburg' by Game-Labs, HexWar Games and several games by Hunted Cow. "We're in no way sympathetic to the use of the ...

I will ask this of the folks here who understand these things. I've noted that I'll sometimes occupy and have 100 percent MC of an objective city. However when I look at my summary page the city will be listed as not controlled. What gives? How do I move that objective from not controlled to under m...

In general I place a militia (or other units such as naval engineers, shore batteries and supplies) inside cities. There they improve the defence of the city. Outside is the main force. That is also set to entrench with the SO to move into the structure. When the outside forces are attacked they ret...

PB, I remember as a 14 year old boy reading about the inadequate way in which the Confederacy supplied it's troops. While boys were fighting in Virginia freezing to death, in Alabama I think there was an entire storeroom filled with winter jackets. Such policies of State's Rights would lead to the ...

Getting back to the original idea of repeating rifles, the New York Times carried this piece as part of its commemoration of the war: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/23/the-unions-newfangled-gimcracks/ I'll do some selective quotes. The NYT wants you to visit its page to read the entire...

The game is its own House Rule? I guess I've been led astray as there are a number of house rules I've used in playing VigaBrand and now GregVanM. I think playing Athena there are understandings of what Athena can do and you play to either use or ignore your advantages. We co-host, with one hosting,...

You have a nice summary Capt. Orso. I myself think of how Western Civilization would have changed if the South had prevailed, either militarily or politically. The end of the 19th Century saw a huge migration of labor into the USA. A country in which labor was treated as the property of the wealthy ...

If you click on a leader's stack that you want to use in combat and press the "7" key, then you get the terrain map overlay. Cursor over the region where you want that leader to fight and you get a menu with a lot of terrain info. Among the info, is the number of Line elements (infantry & cavalry) ...

I would generally advise against putting any artillery, which you wish to use to bombard passing ships, into a stack with a leader, because if the leader becomes un-activated, that battery will not bombard. WOW! You continue to amaze me with your depth of knowledge. It is would delight me to know h...

I just purchased the expansion. They make the game much more accessible. Over a slow day I was able to complete two games (Italy and Palestine). That also will help me tackle the monster game. It was out of reach for the time commitment required. I'm very happy with the expansion. It is well worth t...
