I have just installed the game and ran the latest update. When I click on play game, the black ageod screen comes on and, then immediately, the following error message occurs: " Could not find any compatible Direct3D devices. " I have an Alienware laptop with Windows 7. And, according to M...

Actually for the US expired enlistments were a factor all thru the war - 1 and 2 year hitches were up in 1863 and a lot of 3 year enlistments expired in 1864. I think it would be good to see this modelled. S! EC :thumbsup: Excellent point. Armies continue to grow with no attrition due to enlistment...

As a Federal officer I'd of course love to see AACW2 named "War of the Rebellion", but I am afraid it would never do. Every Southern sympathizer would claim it ought to be called "War of Northern Aggression". :thumbsup: Southerner's are not offended by calling it the War of the Rebellion. In fact, ...

I hope everyone that is concerned about the South conducting ahistorical raids will willing accept the same restrictions on the North. Because it is equally frustrating to have numerous Union regiments running around behind the lines.

That's tag, he* likes to shake things up a bit, see what falls out of the tree. No harm if you know how to handle it, a sarcastic comment sent the other way usually soothes the beast. :bonk: Most regulars here know that by now :cool: *last I heard.... :thumbsup: Oh, okay. I feel sorry for him. Its ...

I have also noticed that after it does bombard, the unit reverts back to a no bombard status; otherwise, it will stay selected until the unit bombards an enemy fleet. This can be frustrating if you are trying to protect a river and forget to check your batteries guarding them every turn. Regards, Cp...

And, the South lost the War Between the States, so I guess us Southern boys would not be comfortable playing this!

Dude, if you don't want it, don't buy it.

Gentlemen, thank you. I am not worried about the other scenarios as my opponent and I only play the campaign. I figure that I will make copies of the original files should I ever decide to play a different scenario. And, worse case scenario, I will reload the game. My intend is to make the order of ...

Is it possible to take an existing scenario's order of battle files and change them (i.e. take an existing unit of say three infantry, a cavalry, and an artillery element and change it to four or five infantry elements only) without having to create a whole new file from scratch, replace units on th...

I installed the update and the quickfix 3. Now, certain information does not show up on the screen. For example, in the upper left hand corner I should see the victory points and morale and see neither. When I produce locomotives and riverine craft, neither costs are displayed. On the objectives scr...

I too find it very easy now to play CSA side, with almost same experience as you, so never a serious landing to my coast took place. So if you do even minor mistakes, on the tactical level the Ai may be able to perform some astonishing moves sometimes. But stategically it has no plan. If one plays ...

Unlike today, more often than not in the Civil War, brigades were commanded by Brig. Generals and Regiments were commanded by Colonels. I have to disagree with you somewhat about the brigades being commanded more often than not by a brigadier general. For example: (1) The Union army at Manassas had...

cptcav

One of the things to consider is that the Army never really had the command levels as they say they should be, even to this day, a brigade is commanded by a colonel versus a brigadier general.

How do you create a CSV file? Do I need a program other than CSV Spitter?

The prisoner exchange feature currently is useless in PBEM games. After all, what Union player in his right mind is going to allow the Confederate player to get additional troops. As prisoner exchanges were a common feature of war (the Israelis still do it) until the Union got smart about it, I woul...

The strength rating does not take into account the leader modifier. So, if a leader conveys a 20% modifier, the strength on the map may say 500, but the overall strength display of units to the player will show 600. At least, that is what is happening in my game.

C'mon PBEM'ers!! :wacko: By the way, one of the lattes changes is dropping the minimum 5% Military control need to retreat to an area, as this made circling and eliminating full armies too easy. And that was not historical. Cheers! Is that in the latest patch or is it something that is coming? Rega...

Not sure if this is an issue with the program or just a case of not understanding what actually happened. My Union opponent attacked Culpepper, VA with a force that the Battle Display indicated was commanded by Gen. Irwin McDowell. However, after the battle was over, the Union occupied Culpepper and...

The other issue that I see is when one looks in the slot for identifying the leaders present. Note, Sheridan's star is there, but not Van Cleve's or Sibley's.

One of the things that I have noticed is that although you get money, conscripts, and supplies being generated by each state, when you raise units, you are not limited to what any one state can produce. For example, in one turn, I can raise several brigades in the State of Arkansas using the conscri...

Pardon a raw newbie, but the feature exists for corps of the same army to coordinate their attack, does it not? Just one more benefit of an army/corps structure. It could be argued that the lack of such an option for independent divisions represents the lack of coordination associated with this sys...

The only reason for the initiative rules being overridden is to somewhat simulate the direct political prodding to accomplish a specific goal going on behind the scenes overcoming a general's normal initiative behavior. As soon as the condition for that "prodding" is done we revert the general back...

You don't have to wait for 100% USA MC control. Specifically, the event calls for USA MC to be greater than 25%. (any turn up to and thru 1861/09/15) My Union opponent got a draw when he attacked Manassas. He attacked with 59,000 troops against my 9,000. Gen Beauregard couldn't get there in time wi...

I had posted this request in March on the wishlist: I would like to see the ability to delay a unit's move at any point along it march. For example, before it moves, you could have the unit stay in its present location for 2 days. Or, it would move to the next area and, then, stay in that area 5 day...

Dear AACW Players... a.) McDowell will remain activated "every" turn throughout the "Army In Manassas" period (1861 Early May thru 1861 Early Sept) Should read: a.) McDowell will remain activated "every" turn that the "Army In Manassas" event is in effect. My opponent was quite upset to find McDowe...
