One thing just came to mind. If the South had no facilities for building rail locomotives nor rolling stock, then what the South had at the start of the war was all that she could ever have--barring the trains Jackson stole in Harpers Ferry in '61--. The South could repair rail lines relatively eas...

Ol' Choctaw

Historically the fact is the south was not that short of any supplies. They just could not get them to where they were needed. It was a matter of transport and logistics systems that were to blame. The two items in shortest supply were Saltpeter and Copper. Both were needed for ammunition, gunpowder...

Ol' Choctaw

Transports bring supplies to the Brigs. That keeps their cohesion higher so the brigs don’t have to go to port as often. The only way for CSA transports to ever bring money or WS is if you drive all Union Combat Ships out of the Shipping Box. That is not something very likely to happen. Never ...

He is kidding. Didn’t want anyone to know he got Sherman.

The map had to be done before anything else could be done to the game. There was a very short window when we could actually recommend changes. It was very easy to become confused with the data base and getting names spelling etc. etc. were not as easy as you might assume. Changes to the map is no ea...

Lincoln was a corporate lawyer and big government supporter. His argument was a gross distortion of the facts. Very few held those views and much fewer still actually believed they were right and true. They were a purposeful distortion. As we view it today we view it through the lens of propaganda a...

The Treaty of Paris of 1783 was between Great Britain and the United States of America; not the united states of America. Between 1776 and 1783, the united colonies or states of the Declaration had evolved into the United States of America. Article 3 deals with fishing rights for Americans in fishi...

The US Constitution is not a treaty, nor a compact among completely sovereign entities, not a contract of any kind. BTW, I'm part Penobscot myself, if that has any possible bearing on the discussion. The ratification of the USC by the several States was an instrumentality, as I have mentioned above...

Ol' Choctaw

I'm sorry Ol' Choctaw, but I don't accept your interpretation of the right to separate. (Or that your "interpretation" of the constitution is better than "the government's." The tenth amendment does not authorize secession. Even in the context of its own logic, it doesn't work because article 1 sec...

Ol' Choctaw

Article I. Section 10. "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation" etc. How are we to interpret that? I'm pretty sure the Founders meant it to refer to States making separate arrangements with other nations. So, perhaps, South Carolina had a right to secede, but the other sta...

Ol' Choctaw

I have never questioned your patriotism, my dear O'C. I have questioned your understanding of the meaning of the Union, especially before and during the late disagreement between the States, which is a different matter. The rise of a centralized Federal government is much more a twentieth century a...

Ol' Choctaw

:p apy: Wait! Do note however the effects of the various tests on the final Combat Strength of the unit. This needs looked into in that last test. With no support and full cohesion, strength = 111 With field hospital &77 cohesion, strength = 112 With HQ unit and 77 cohesion, strength = 113 That woul...

Hi Union Bear, welcome!

Also, in game setting, make sure the battle planer option is selected. If it aint turned on it aint go-na work.

Ol' Choctaw

Can Flatboats also be used to block enemy river crossings and movement? I am talking not where exposed to enemy guns or combat fleets, but in the rear areas to keep enemy partisans and cavalry from crossing rivers. They have a combat value, albeit low. Thoughts? Or can you only block enemy with gun...

Ol' Choctaw

They are a slower more limited version of transports.

Their main value is not as transports but as a cheap supply source for building supply depots in locations with waterborne movement.

Ol' Choctaw

Haha, sorry. I didn't mean to offend, or rub salt on any wounds, or anything like that. Ol' Choctaw, please feel free to PM me, if you would like to answer my question. Sorry tripax but I fail to see how your question relates to the topic at hand. In the course of this argument about the rights of ...

Ol' Choctaw

I am sorry but if you believe there is no right of states to secede you have little to no understanding of the founding documents and what was the intent of the US Constitution. It should be obvious even from simple contract law. The States were the founders of the Federal government and it was only...

Ol' Choctaw

1. Perhaps it should but it does not effect any Union Cities to lose it. What it does is free up all of the CSA port that are reduced by scripted effects. 2. Capturing the guns is very hit and miss. Usually they are gone when you do take it but it is at a serious investment in troops and time. Picke...

Ol' Choctaw

Do you just have to be adjacent to the region being sieged by friendly land units?

Yes! you got it. Adjacent to the region.

Ol' Choctaw

Not quite always! It can run a turn long and under some conditions they cannot be finished.

Ol' Choctaw

I don’t know how to resolve it. Officially the US did not enlist Indians. I do know they served. I just took a blanket statement that the US Army didn’t enlist Indians. That was their policy. Most units were raised by states and perhaps the US just refused to recognize that there were In...

Ol' Choctaw

The Union did not enlist Indians. They served as auxiliaries in Union service, civilians under arms. Kansas may have enlisted them and some other states but not the Union Army. They were still classed as colored troops when they were dealt with, however, so they would have had white officers over th...

Ol' Choctaw

Sorry Le Ricain but that is not exactly accurate. Opothleyahola favored not fighting but that was the same as declaring for the Union to many. It was the fear that he would which prompted the Confederates to attack. Because there were 7000 they were seen as a possible threat. He decided to lead his ...

Ol' Choctaw

Sorry, so much as I know it is not possible to get one without the other and there is no way to control them in this game. Maybe with a mod, but not sure.

Ol' Choctaw

This is something that has been worked on and worked on again but some how it never seems to work.

The devs have worked on it and everyone has prayed for it. It just never seems to work the way everyone wants it to.

Ol' Choctaw

Didn’t mean to not reply for so long but I have had some health problems keeping me away from such things. While there is very little incentive to tell the real stories, until I can sit and write a bit here are a couple of videos. They only sketch the stories and miss a lot but they may give y...

Ol' Choctaw

Tripax, your system sounds very similiar to mine but with twice the RAM. I bought CW II four days ago and only one crash/freeze so far. I am using max everything. And my computer certainly doesn't meet the minimum video standards by a long shot but it is playing nicely. Glad it works! :) If you hav...

Ol' Choctaw

I am fully aware of the lack of leader experience on the CSA side. I have not see it so much on the Union side. It is particularly noticeable when an army commander takes over and corps commanders, stack commanders or division commanders get no experience for the battles at all. It makes it near imp...

Ol' Choctaw

You know, my family was in the south but didn’t take a whole lot of interest in the war. Some joined home guard units when bushwhackers showed up. One cousin joined the regulars. Fought through most of the war. Was wounded and crippled up, sent home. Never regained his health and was shot in b...
