I used to play Ed Grabowski's Blue & The Gray....

AACW is so much more superior - but I'd like to have the option to fight the battles like you did in Blue & The Gray..... that was cool.

Morpheus

So, into turn 7, with some developments. Fusileers AOtP has advanced and retaken Manassas (which is fine - it was the plan to only hold it with Milroy's troops until they were attacked). Johnston has also advanced into Harper's ferry. I must admit it has left a tempting target south, Covington which...

Morpheus

So to catch up from the missing turn 5...... http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12296&stc=1&d=1282953621 1 - Reinforcements to Manassas to boost Milroy's troops - as the move to take it has come off - I'll see if I can hold it for now! 2 - AOtP to move to DC to increase replaceme...

Morpheus

For some reason my post for Turn 5 has disappeared entirely.......

Oops.

Onto turn 6 then!

Morpheus

So, the opening exchanges have begun. Manassas has fallen to Union troops under Milroy. (although I don't expect to hold it - so have set them to retreat if engaged) Here's the results: http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12281&stc=1&d=1282929335 http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachm...

Hey Jim,

Yes and No. I do send a fair bit of Seige Artillery out - so the replacements are useful! :-)

Morpheus

So, the plans of Fusileer still appear a mystery - mine are beginning to take shape. I have had an impulsive moment with the arrival of the Washington Brigade - so attack Manassas with the nw released USMC in support. I've set them to make a cautionary advance which will allow retreat if overwhelmed...

Morpheus

Hey Mickey3D

True enough - but if I want to launch an offensive from KS down the flank of MO and ARK then it will prove useful.

It's only for the first few turns that I do this - plus at $10K and 12WS it's not a huge dent in my resources!

Morpheus

So this turn - we're sending our Generals out to start taking their positions. Hamilton and Howe to Wheeling WV Wallace and Asboth to Cairo IL. Keyes and Humphreys to St. Louis MO. Griffin to Wilmington DE. Blenker to Chicago IL. Wood to Indianapolos IN. Nelson to Cleveland OH. Hurburt to Pittsburgh...

http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12272&stc=1&d=1282862193 Ok. So this is the outlook in the East. My current plan is as follows: 1 - Take Manassas in the early fall of 1861 - looking to move later August - to avoid the 10NM penalty. 2 - Hold at least a division force here - to...

Morpheus

Cheers Guys - sound help!

I only industrialise in Kansas - as there is litererally zero supply and ammo produced there - so it's really to give Kansas a bit of an initial boost.

Graylensman....

How many times do you want to correct me today?

D'oh!

Morpheus

Right - First Update. The scenario Fusileer has chosen is the April 61 Campaign with Kentucky. I've only played with this recently to get a feel for it. Should be interesting. Opening Screen as follows: http://www.ageod-forum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12262&stc=1&d=1282842052 Basically, as the...

Morpheus

Thanks Ethan!

I do remember seeing an event about CSA being able to recruit in MD and DE?

Is this true???

Morpheus

How are they flashing? are they changing colour or just flashing the same colour? which towns does it happen at?

Screenshots?

Morpheus

Obviously all plans are subject to modification and short of the usual grand scheme of "Let's win the war" I thought it only prudent to let you know what will be going down in the opening gambits. I'm new to the PBEM idea - so have only had the opportunity to pit myself against Athena until now - bu...

Morpheus

Hi All, Just to announe a new PBEM AAR by me - first timer! Hope to keep a turn by turn log as we are hoping to do a couple of turns a day. Should be starting tonight - with screenies etc. I'll be doing it from Union perspective - fusileer (CSA) won't be posting - but may well comment :-) I'm hoping...

Morpheus

Ah Cool....

Do you want to drop me an email?

Anyone up for a PBEM game - first time for me........

Would also like to do an AAR to go along with it.....

Cheers,

~Thanks Jim - very useful post! :-)

Morpheus

I see.......

Thanks for the heads up..... I'm now feeling a lone attack by Mclellan and the other 3 * Idiots...... to get rid! :-)

Sweet.......

Morpheus

I had the understanding that 3* Generals were impervious to death?

Or am I mistaken?

:-)

Morpheus

Hi, I've noticed that some of my generals are receiving improvements on their Strat/Off/Def ratings. How does this work - I'm assuming it's to do with winning battles..... :-) Do all three change? Is there a seperate roll for each one at the time of the battle? Can the ratings fall at all? Thanks, M...

Morpheus

Hi, I'm always struggling to find the optimum settings for the AI - at present I'm playing on Normal/Agressive. What is the best to make the game more of a challenge - but not allowing the AI to be totally wreckless and commit some bad mistakes? I find that if I push up the aggression the AI is some...

Morpheus

Thanks....

Always been confusing! :-) The manual says that if you control a strategic city then you can recruit - but from experience that is only for the border states Kentucky and Missouri - with Delaware by event for the CSA..... :-)

Hi,

Is it possible to recruit troops in CSA states like Virginia, the Carolinas, Louisiana etc as The Union player?

Thanks

Si

Morpheus

Hey. Firstly - this is my first post - so I hope it helps! As the CSA - I do the usual opening turn move to secure Sumter - but I send the remainder of the force in Charleston to Nashville. I usually keep the forces of Johnston and Beauregard seperate when they become active - allowing Johnston to h...
