Hi all,
So I am playing through my first 1862 West Theater as one of my first full-plays of this game.
I think I have a basic understanding of how to organize Corps, divisions, etc.
But I ran into a practical application question and I am seeking suggestions with the understanding that there may not be a single answer - but more on what points i should be considering when deciding how to structure an Army, etc.
So at the beginning of this scenario, one of the things I notice is that the Army of the Tennessee (under Grant) has 6 divisions and a reserve also as independent stacks in this same area.
All of the independent divisions, excepting on (the 3rd) have a lack of command points resulting in a penalty.
You cannot place all of the divisions and the reserve under the army without overloading the command points for the army and thus every unit has a pentaly.
So I decided to placed the divisions with the worst command penalties under the Army and used the divisions with no, or the lease amount of penalty as independents.
Is this the correct thinking? Or is it better to place them all into the army and then maneuver them separately to gain the chain of command benefits even if there are command point penalties?
