Thanks, I kind of guessed that much. Thanks for the river escape tip

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but my searches didn't find anything. What I am wondering is if there is any way of making a stack react to another one's movement. I am specifically thinking of when a breakout occurs (usually smething like a confederate invaion of Maryland/Pennsylvania) Af...

Won an ACW in 2 years - what got me was that the size indicator is odd. A Corps two generals suddenly became an Army Group. Once I started looking at the little strength number on the stacks it became easier. Saved having my corps being eaten alive by a stack that showed XXX as a size but actually h...

Wish I could see the other side to check that they at least were suffering as well but that option didn't seem to be there on load - also would have helped if Congress has voted the manpower increase but "c'st la vie". I might wind it back as many turns as I can and see if I can do better

I've played AACW since it came out so I have same idea how the system works. When I said all my relacements vanished I meant just that. I was playing a historical game so the total forces in the State were the regiments in the Indian Territories. At that time I had a manpower level in the 400's. Sud...

Just giving up on an ACW game as it is so one sided (to CSA) as to be ridiculous. The startup was a bit strange with some units in CSA territory magically reappearing in other locations. Unfortunately moving ocean going ships to the heart of the Mid Westt did rather immobilse them :-) I think out to...

I've mailed the save which has this in.

I've just been playing the ACW and at one point a CSA corps attacked north, beat a Union force and managed to go from Virginia to Cleveland in one turn. Even neglecting the delays caused by deploying and fighting a major battle this is a huge rate of advance for a foot and horse army. Although an in...

I'm puzzled. I got a commercial agreement with Columbia and managed to build a gem mine. Sure enough a gems box appeared in Bogota's Trade display and the box is definitely talking about selling good not buying so they are mine. Well I have ships out there to collect them (I am buying other good fro...

I'm not sure if it was a deliberate change but MC is radically different in 1.o1h vs 1.01g. I'm playing the US and in 1.01g I was gradually gaining MC over the plains Indians by swarming all over them with troops. This brought MC to 50%+ and I could get on with developing them. In 1.01h this stoped ...

I'd sussed that when I noticed that it was allowing road in places that has a road already. It is a bug I reckon since the tootip for the mission explicitly says that track is the highest for this. Otherwise a railroad for only a few 10's of cash and manufactures is a bit of a bargain

alastair

Funny this. Suddenly a couple of colony regions in Missouri gained railroads on their own. As I wasn't watching that are at the time I didn't notice to I rolled the game back and it still happened and it was when a build roads mission completed. Another odd thing I noticed was a region now shows a r...

The DirectX to main (burst mode) crash turned up for me this morning. There was nothing special going on as all I was doing was trying to play US peacefully. If you try to run to next turn on resumption but a small change seems to be enough to stop the crash

alastair

None major 1) in the economy screen what effect does setting the supply button to the mode where it doesn't stockpile the stuff have? Does it change how units are supplied compared with the default setting? 2)Is there any way of fine tuning the preserved food production mode (I'm not sure for instan...

These things happen - Been having these sort of "incidents" for 30 years in this incident.

Keep the faith...

Was just a thought though. Could not the installer take the old win.ini file data in and copy back out things like the serial. Or at least a file for newbies like me :-) with a name like "THINGSTOCHECK.TXT" (We have them in my system to remind ME) Just to cut down stuff like ths

alastair

Just went through that in full debug mode i.e. I looked at what was there after an install when it worked and not. After having to unprotect it so I could edit the file. (I hate Vista security!) I got it to work OK Thanks for the quick reply. You got back while I was doing the install and file check...

alastair

I ran the patch as administator and win.ini changed to a Jan date OK. Now I am getting a Serial Key invalid error!!?. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from the disk and it ran ok with the number from the book back and then updated again - same error. I looked in the config program and it is OK - so ...

alastair

Just a check. I installed the game andthen the patch but the main screen still shows 1.01. Yes I have checked the .exe and it says 1.0.5.5. Is anything therefore incomplete in the patch.

alastair

I'd sussed that bit on the mandatories and yes the seek unactivated would be great. I had worked out that this was going to be too complicated for me now but as a programmer myself I like to "test" these things. Now I will press on with "pressing all the buttons and kicking the tyres" Looks a great ...

Just bought game and updated it. Done scenarios and wanted to try the advanced model in the campaign game having done it in the scenarios Playing a relatively normal Entente vs the CP Moltke plan I appear to have only 3 activatable armies. No French + Russian 1+2 an Serbia. So Do Russ 1 and move it....
