The amount of manpower raised is influenced by the national morale.

Attached sharpshooters will slow down cavalry formations. Same thing with horse artillery. Actually horse artillery will reduce the speed of a cavalry division to the speed of an infantry division. Which is OK dependent on how you intend to use the cavalry. Actually the speed reduction to a cavalry...

The McNaughton effect (should be trademarked) is a dreadful one to contemplate. Besides, almost all the useful Union 3-4 stars serve their time as 1-2 stars. They still have plenty of opportunities to get whacked prior to their 3-4 star days. It's been a while since I played the CSA so I don't remem...

I've played 4 complete games as Union, 2 as CSA. I've never been able to promote all of the historical Army or Corps commanders to the rank they achieved. I figure I get about 50-60% of the Union generals to their historical rank. A little % higher w/ the CSA. The later Union generals (Ord, Schofiel...

My $.02 which repeats alot of what was said above: Each div has one of the big brigades w/ organic artillery and cav as a base and add a sharpshooter. Fill the rest w/ infantry and maybe 1-2 arty. Never add cavalry. IMO cav is too expensive, doesn't have enough firepower and is ineffective in anythi...

FOV = Field of View (everything visible within the Fog of War) FOW = Fog of War (Everything invisible outside the Field of View) Question: Should we really know - 1) The entire composition of an enemy stack (by tooltip) 2) The exact number of units building it (by base lights) 3) The stack's entren...

Thought he had to be in command for the bonus to apply.

Not to go off topic but . . . I've enjoyed Frank Hunter's Guns of August quite a bit.

4. Sharpshooters add +1 to initiative in the unit to which it's attached. Definately worth it.

For most of the lopsided battle results that I've seen there have been explanations, the most dangerous one being the "retreat to town" button. If a defending army retreats to a town in its province after losing a battle and the attacking army has assault posture on, it's going to be a beat down. OT...

All of the initial corps commanders of the AoP (including McClellan's choices: Porter and Franklin) had either seen combat during the Mexican-American War or at Bull Run. At that time of reorganization into corps they were either senior divisional commanders or had held other high ranking posts (McD...

Although realistic, having your travelling general injured by weather is one of those things best not implemented (at least to remove some micromanagement).

Thought I'd tried that before . . . . I'll try it again. Thanx.

Accessing a particular general from the roster by a "double-click, close roster, go to general" command is kind of a wish list from BoA. Don't know if it's possible. I got to the point in BoA that I recognized all the province names. Not enough brain cells left to memorize all the province names in ...

Nice Mod. I like the adjustments you've made. There are a few Confederate Generals who might need bumped up in the ranks when they appear in the game. Pemberton - His first command was the Department of South Carolina,Geargia and Florida; then he was transferred to the command the Department of Mis...

All good points. Was wishing there was a way to have the AACW corps level movement in minature. In the same province only those leaders in command of a separate stack roll for initiative. All others are considered to have failed. Once a leader is separated out (w/ whatever units you want to attach) ...

Oops, posted this on the other thread . . . My $0.02. I would disagree w/ applying the poor spy network to Halleck, Burnside and Rosecrans. Halleck's failings (he moved slowly and disliked Grant) had nothing to do w/ his lack of situational awareness. His drive to Corinth was slow but unstoppable. T...

Random thoughts re Ticonderoga's artillery: Knox's force wasn't that large. From what I've read it seems that he was at the limit of his transport capacity. Some of the guns he transported didn't even go to Washington. The following site (not great I know) shows that 87 cannon/howitzers were at Tico...

IIRC Knox only removed the most useful and transportable pieces, not all of them.

Minor point but I think you're attaching too much importance to how brit regulars faired at Monongahela and Lex/Concord. In the former the two regiments had been doing garrison duty in Ireland before being transported to Virginia. Additionally, they had only been brought up to strength by recent enl...

I think Hood wins in the "most appendages lost" category.

Although mostly based upon BoA if you want the ai to play aggresively/launch offensives you have to give it a substantial detect bonus. Haven't really found a comfortable setting for ACW but I usually played BoA w/ the following: Difficulty - High AI Detect Bonus - Normal (whichever the third one is...

It would take a lot of programming to write that bug, although the results could be amusing.

No Greater Glory was probably my favorite Civil War computer game. Been ages since I've played it tho. Come to think of it, I have to have it around somewhere.

Thinking perhaps that the Boston city siege was a bad example, maybe the delays are shorter for sieges perhaps, I searched for another example that would involve some movement, and then combat in the field. I found a great example in the 1778 Northern Campaign scenario. The British start in Philade...

Or at least when the militia reform that they do not do so in Rebel territory. Ideally, they would be restricted to reforming in Mobile, Pensacola or St. Augustine (if held by Spanish forces).

Units also draw supplies from adjacent areas. If you put an army next to them that outstrips supply in that area, the supply for the units in E. Long Island will drop.

You have a good chance of survival, though not without casualties. The skirmisher skill allows Washington a 50/50 chance (just guessing here) to run away after the 1st or 2nd day if he has less than equal numbers of troops. If he has numerical superiority he'll generally try to stand and fight. In a...

I don't look at losses like they were dead to the last man, especially for the rebels. I just consider them as "permanently buggered off" for the duration of the conflict.
