Well I must have been doing something right, because I had all of his incoming supply routes captured. I had two large Union River Fleets cutting off the port. And third time is the charm....I managed to pound away two turns in a row and defeated them and captured a ton of prisoners and destroyed ev...

I was also wondering what they do. I figured that they were like "spies" and could show you the makeup of enemy units, but I never noticed when Pinkerton was out roaming the North Carolina countryside. As a one man / one woman force, they obviously cant capture anything, but do you just have them ro...

I updated my game to version 1.14 and now notice that I no longer have to keep any troops in areas that I control, except of course for cities where the citizens may "revolt" and reoccupy the town. I usually just put a unit in an area until I have 100 Military Control, even if the loyalty is just 5-...

I vote for continued support. Besides, Gray is the best out there and not only fixes and tweaks the game, but has lots of good info as well. Keep up the good work Gray...we need you!!

Thanks Gray,

I guess I have been doing it right.....It helped to build a Depot in the captured port....then the supplies really began to pile up.

Thanks Aslan, I'm pretty sure I did it that way. I also made sure all of the Corps and the Main Army stack had the "twin roads" button attached. I always thought that it was supposed to make sure they all arrived at the same time, to the pace of the slowest stack.....but maybe I am doing it wrong. I...

Thanks for all the info. I guess I will keep units on RR's and in the cities, and shift everyone else up to the Div's and Corps....By the way...I think i have also noticed that if a region along a major river (say, like the Mississippi River) changes sides to CSA...is the USA still able to move supp...

Howdy all, Been playing an 1861 Campaign Game as USA. I have captured most of Missouri, Kentuky, and parts of Tennessee, but still do not have Nashville, New Orleans, or Richmond (it is mid to late 1863). I did manage to capture the port city just east of Mobile, Alabama (sorry, I cannot remember th...

Arsan, In my current 1861 Campaign game as USA, I have tried several times to have my Army of the Potomoc attack coordianted but the different Corp and Main Army still arrive at different times. Is this normal, based on the different Corp Commanders (slow mover, headstrong, etc). Just wondering. KgL...

Gray, Maybe I'm mistaken, but did I just read that for the Union Navy Supply, you need to park the transports in the "Blockade" boxes or the "Shipping" boxes. I thought they were supposed to go in the Shipping box and have been putting my Transport Fleets (with Brig and Warship escorts) there to sup...

Thnks Tex...I'm gonna try to retake it....sooner or later. Should I move all fleets and troops away from it to make Athena think it is safe to leave it lightly defended?

What are the advantages of prisoner exchanges? I have always wondered, but never done it. Do you automatically get a large amount of reinforcements added to your manpower pool that you can use to fill up your depleted units? Does the exchange just do a one for one exchange? If I have 50,000 USA pris...

Oops, Havent played for a while, and didnt read my own post. I took out the Union Division I had, invaded Florida, took Pensacola, but then the Rebs captured Ft Pickens........Then I had to retreat to my Fleet, tried to invade the Fort, failed, and had to retreat to one of the two Union Fts near the...

I agree with Krec. The updates and patching have been great. I just wish I knew what the hell to do to get better at this game!!! Just so much going on, and so much to remember........but it is addictive.

Hi all, I have started a game as USA grand campaign. Into late 1861 and just noticed that CSA has beseiged Ft Pickens. I had not reinforced it and finally shipped a large Division to it to reinforce it. Once they landed they also entered the Ft which stayed beseiged. My question. As their supply is ...

My Great great great great (or whatever) grandfather on my mother's side was General Kress. I forget his first name but he wrote a book or journal about his experences in the war that one of my brothers or sisters seems to have misplaced. He is apparently buried at Arlington Cemetery as well. He was...

Thanks Colonel..... By the way, was that a relative of yours killed in the war in 1861? I had a Great-great-great grandfather (maybe even another great) who was a General in the Army of Potomoc at Gettysburg. I also had relatives fighting in the Army of Northern Virginia who were actually from the p...

Thanks Rafiki, I find that the AI is usually pretty good, but sometimes erratic in its strategy. In my recently completed CSA Grand Campaign the AI would send Armies or Corps singularly in deep attacks....leave themselves camped at a city or depot or region.....and then begin to wither away. The AI ...

So Gray,

If I wanted my CSA Army of the Potomoc to be renamed the Army of Northern Virginia, I just pull it back to say Richmond area, remove General Lee, and then reinstate him as Army commander? Does it then rename it Army of Northern Virginia?

Just curious.

May God Bless all of the veterans of this great and mighty nation. Went to visit my Dad today at the National Cemetery in Tahoma, Washington. He was a 30 year veteran of the USAF, starting out on B-17's as a gunner in the "Big War - WW2" bombing Germany. Went on to retire at age 47 after 30 years an...

I noticed in some old Threads that you can rename units by usning "control + left click". But I think they also said you cannot rename Armies. Why? I just noticed that my CSA Army of Northern Virginia is still named the CSA Army of the Potomoc in 1864. Wasn't there supposed to be a date that automat...

By the way....I read that you were all talking about building forts?? Where did I miss that info in the book. How do you do it?? What benifits are forts vs just cities / towns? What do they cost? Are they the same as building Depots but instead of Depots you build Forts?? Thanks for any info. KgLorb...

I have only had the game since Jan 2009 and am still playing my first campaign as the CSA. Love the game, but it was a bear to learn the basic mechanics of the game (approx 4-5 weeks) so my Grand Campaign CSA game has been going on for approx 3 months. I learned more as I was playing the game (from ...

Rafiki,

I noticed a week ago or so that my icon picture is now Gen Patrick Cleburne. Thanks for the help and I assume you did it for me, because I sure didnt get it to happen.

Much thanks

I have only seen it happen once.......when the unit was almost wiped out.......actually, several of them almost wiped out in the same brigade or division........but only saw it once.

How long do you have rotate the CSA brigs back to port? I usually do it every turn once they are in the blocade box. Can I leave them there for 4-5 turns? Do they bring back supplies / money each turn even tho not rotated to port? I thought they had to be brought back to port to get the supplies / m...

When the battle was lost and they were trying to reinforce and take replacements, I noticed that several decimated regiments were combined into one to bring some of them back up to strength.....Isnt that the way it is supposed to w...

I also agree with Husky. I have been playing war games since the old "Blitzkrieg" fictious map from the mid 70's when I was in High School. After video computer games came out I could finally play someone (the AI usually....hahahaha) any time I wanted. I usually play WW2 games but have always like t...
