If I could recommend one thing to do this year it would be to go see one of the concerts by Leonard Cohen. I had the immense privilege of attending a magnificent show by the master on my first vacation day, together with wife and kids - 3 hours of paradise :coeurs: - Leonard, a 74 year old kid was ...

Jim-NC outlasted Vegetius 407-334 total points for a net to Jim of +74 Both players won as the USA Vegetius won his 186-176=+10 Jim-NC won his 231-157 =+84 A gallant Southern last turn attack on St Louis by Vegetius was too little too late and was turned back with casualties. Congratulations on a ha...

Johnnycai is an excellent player. Thanks for a great close contest Johnny!

And thanks to Jim NC for going above and beyond posting every turn score. You did great Jim!

First I would opine that the (what I regard as a perjorative) term of labeling early militia building as "spamming" is unwarranted. As both armies historically had to draw initially on such a micropscopically small regular US Army (the CSA from those ranks of the recently resigned) it was imperative...

SkyWestNM

This is seriously frustrating and disappointing to say at the least. I see some rationalize a real world reasoning for it but as Barksdale concludes, and I agree, it must be an engine or coding limitation. Maybe the program gets caught in a "do loop" and defaults out after twenty or so times to unsu...

At the half way point, turn 9

Don't forget to use your training officers (Siegel, McClellan and Halleck, CSA Taylor) as separate commands. They work to elevate conscipt troops to line troops so long as they don't move AND troops are under their command, i.e they are the senior officer in the stack that contains the conscripts. F...

I invariably run short ultimately on Union generals and always on CSA ones. Generals are invaluable for commanding independent cavalry brigades because they increase evasion ratings; up from 11-16 to 25-36. Makes cavalry behind enemy lines almost uncatchable when attached as Bde commanders. In addit...

I believe the Union get a positive NM (1 NM IIRC) and the rebels get a negative one (2 NM IIRC). This could be random but I think it correctly reflects that the Union has an incentive inherent in their historicial decision to trade POWs and that the Confederacy has a cost involved to do so. Just for...

Both games are in turn 5/6.

Can you give us a screen shot, maybe?

SkyWestNM

It's my opinion that you need to form the Army HQ and lose the 10 NM. You have far too many NM already in OUR game and over 6000 power alone in the Eastern corridor just between between Jackson and Longstreet's corps not counting your English intruding cousins. Oh, and please repatriate DC and Balti...

Thanks for your complimentary responses Ohm and Mr. T. Sorry, I didn't mean to threadjack this thread from its noted author, and gamer of such renown AARs, Soundoff, from his initial presentation of the need for a refining in battle reporting. His offering and the multiple responses birthed, simply ...

SkyWestNM

Raf, you asked in another thread to enumerate those changes that make the learning curve of the game tough. This is one. Supply. It's truly elegant in its application, indeed. It's also lacking some means for the player to understand and blend its operation with their play. AGEOD has truly taken log...

SkyWestNM

As a general rule you can count on an average division consuming about 35 general supply per turn. I would hesitate to try and calculate a turn for enemy supply outages as supplies sometimes turn up unexpectedly (down rivers, drawn from small cities, when a river transport shows up adjacent with 120...

Continued....sorry for the inadvertent end click........ As I was saying I have learned that old ord files are saved in the recycle bin as tmp files and can actually be renamed bringing them "back to life", so long as they are not encrypted. But by now I can't really use them as examples because all...

I am havin problems with encryption and my system preventing me and my host from accessing our tournament games. Seems, for unknown reasons, something in my online computer mix is removing spaces from game names during email transmission (see Pocus/GL et all theorizing that it is my mail server whic...

Is there a limitation to the name you can assign a PBEM game? Currently, I am trying to save the first turn of a PBEM, and it says the operating system is limiting me from saving the file. I'm onto that one, DW. When you attempt to remove a password (by turning off "compression" in the options) on ...

SkyWestNM

I'll try to answer you questions. 1) The lower Colorado or Matagorad bay must have gotten shallow enough between turns to trap your transport. Sometime in the next year I bet the weather will change the conditions of the river or bay to allow them to move again, if not, then someone should look at ...

SkyWestNM

Here are a number of bugs found in my current PBEM game that could use some attention. 1. Here on the lower Colorado, the tide flows so far upriver that our seagoing transports get permanently bottomed trying to get out, morning noon and night. This lone transport on the Lower Colorado does indeed a...

First off, if I'm way off thread I welcome your moving this post as appropriate. :) I'm not an owner of NCP YET and my interest in the Napoleonic time period is fairly low. One of my good friends bought both it and AACW and would probably prefer NCP but thinks NCP is a bit underbaked in comparison b...

Very nice work, Jim. Thanks for sharing!

Now I don’t know about you, but I find intense interest in the ACW generals. The more I read, the more fascinating it can get. :thumbsup: Why just the other day I was following up on Albert Pike, the CSA general/explorer and Indian leader, anti-secessionist, born in Boston, and who, after the war, b...

I have followed you two down to the bitter end of this contest knowing that you both, from the past posts you have both made, are extremely knowledgable, excellent players whom I would learn from. This contest lived up to my expectations. I was not disappointed. It is simply a shame you both can't a...

Good point, tc. That is correct. Costs are not paid until the end

turn is processed so you can undo any changes made.

SkyWestNM

It costs 10 money, 1 conscipt, and 5 war supply per division command. The costs are nonrefundable if you choose to retract division command at some time in the future. The game system will allow you to promote even if you do not have the necessary parts, however, the penalties to the general in his ...
