I would really like to find out which number is correct. Even with overwhelming numbers it is difficult in 1865 to get the NM to 185 but 125 could be achieved just by taking Richmond. So the question as to which number is correct determines whether the Union can win in 1865 if they didn't have the p...

The Lincoln Re-election event that fires on the Late Nov 64 turn says that "threshold reset for defeat to 25 and victory to 125". However only the lower threshold is actually changed to 25. The Victory threshold stays at 185. Is the message in error or the game? I am running 1.15. I can attach files...

For what its worth I have been running 1.15 of the game under Win7 64 bit for some time without any problems. I haven't had to set anything special or disable anything to make it work. It is installed in a different folder (D:\\games) than Program Manger. However, my base install is the original ver...

kwhitehead

I suspected that would be the case but since it takes playing a full game out to the end and having the same set of victory conditions to duplicate it will probably be many months or years before it can be confirmed in 1.15. However, I would suspect it will be still in 1.15 since this is a logic err...

This happened in 1.14 and I have not confirmed the error in 1.15. The South had a Victory Point lead of 4862 to the Union 2197 but there was no National Morale victory possible (CSA 80 vs USA 98). The Union player was host for the game. At the end of turn 115 his game reported a Stalemate (both on s...

I think a tactical engine would put this game length on the order of lifetimes. Maybe even millenia.

It is difficult to rate any general since when you come down to it it is an opinion. But AJ is probably badly underated with a 4-2-1 rating. His offensive and defensive should be much higher. If you step back and look at what he is being down rated for you will find they really don't reflect on his ...

Do you remember how many points it took?

kwhitehead

The manual says that if neither side gets an Automatic Victory based on National Morale then "The side with more VP's wins the war and the level of victory is based on the VP difference." As far as I can tell Victory Point are not used to determine anything about Victory or its Level. For example I ...

Apparently whoever set the stats for Albert weren't as impressed with his performance as Jeff Davis was. He is a dog and usually has to be sent south as soon as you have someone else to replace him with. He died to soon in the war to prove himself one way or another. The rating looks like his actual...

Yes, you have the option on the options menu :thumbsup: Regarding your worries... if i recall correctly, what you (CSA) get from the boxes depends of your runner numbers, not the USA blockaders. So everything looks OK to me :) The north blockaders affect the % blockade you can see on the box and th...

kwhitehead

I'll have to look up what the Option is that was referred too. I assume it is one of the overal game settings. Putting transports in with the blockaders sounds like a workable idea. I will try that. Since posting I had some disconcerting observations. One of my opponents withdrew all his blockade sh...

I finally finished a full campaign as USA player. During which I found, particularly toward the later years, that the game required a lot of micromanagement to keep Blockade Fleets deployed in the Ocean Blockade box. I had to regularly check them every turn to send some back for resupply and others ...

Rebel forces retreating from Memphis will always go to Corinth if Held by Confederate forces. t No for sure this one isn't true. Recently got into trying to retake Memphis with the AoM. Memphis was the only region held between the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers. I moved into Memphis from two of t...

I got this one May of 1864, anyone else seen it? Have any ideas what triggered it?

Will I ever get Old Abe back?

McClellan had two major flaws that undermined an otherwise above average leader. First, he fought ghost armies. This crippled his ability to go on the offensive and deliver the kind of killing blow the AoP was capable of in 1862. They had the numbers in Virginia to take Richmond. They had more than ...

I have only done limited testing but so far it doesn't look like there is any reason to invest in industrialization other than Railroads and River Transport for either the North or the South. My few tests show very little return to make up for the per turn costs of these. So far my attempts have had...

I have observed armies with wagon being unsupplied even though they have both river and rail lines linking them to their supply sources. The specific situation are large armies in central Tennessee linked through Nashville and the Tennessee River with plenty of depots along the way. What I am suspec...

I never said AACW was simple and avoided the term 'complex' as much as possible. I did say that it's child's play next to Chess and will maintain that. I described one ruleset as being smaller than another's. Perhaps to some, appearances mean a lot, but don't be deceived by the elegant and spare an...

When you make the save the game will briefly display the full path and file name across the upper part of the screen. Check it carefully and make sure it is showing the path to the folder you are looking for the file in. The non-hosting player works a little different since the game uses whatever fo...

kwhitehead

In the Host's Save folder for the game you will find a ".rpl" file identified just like the ".trn" file you normally have to send your non-hosting opponent. If you send them that one then the "Replay" function on the game will work. Unfortunately it is a rather large file and may cause email problems.

Frustration all around. I was happy to find a game like this, but now I am nothing but deeply pissed. Having no chance to achieve any victory is quiet annoying. The blue armies roam my backyard inmidst heavy winter, tear up rails but dont fight. If I manage to engage them the battles are nothing bu...

kwhitehead

I have noticed this as well (it happened in 1.13b also). If your stack disappeared, more often than not, your general died as well. I believe this is a WAD. However, you will note that a general by himself will not starve to death (even in a hostile region). I've actually seen a mix of results it i...

Now to bring up a new issue but I am very unsure on this one since I haven't yet gotten a good grasp on how the naval system works. Just to see what would happen if the CSS Virginia tried to go out and fight the Monitor I sent it out into Hampton Roads where the Monitor was. The way the game is set ...

If you'll reread the statement above that you quoted from me, you'll see that the issue has been addressed and will be available in the next QuickFix. Specifically, McDowell will NOT be able to make his first possible move until 1861/07/15. This now allows for 2 extra turns for the CSA to position ...

To address the McDowell/Manassas issue, it was discovered that the 1861 April campaign incorrectly placed him and his army in Alexandria, VA on 1861/05/01. This is an historical error. McDowell and the starting core of his army did not move into Alexandria, VA until 1861/05/24. The next QuickFix wi...

kwhitehead

To be clear it should have stated McDowell will remain active every turn from 1861/07/15 thru 1861/0915 UNTIL the Army in Manassas event is satisfied. I am a little confused about the "Army in Manassas" event and McDowell being able to move his army early, Late June, and the McDowell active mode. I...

Also you can use the "Start" and "M" keys if you have one on your keyboard to minimize the display. I think the problem with the "Display" dialog box is its a bit confusing so people like me leave the game at it's defaults. "Standard" doesn't mean anything unless you know what the standard is. May b...
