Here is the scene…..

I had captured every objective city that I could have, and had almost all of the large cities in my hands. I had a major presence in every state of the south, except for Texas (I was hoping for the “Sam Houston” event, but it never happened). I had blue all over the map, and I couldn’t even find a southern army to attack (or chase, rather). I had General Lee hemmed up in a fort outside of Charleston and Bragg evaporated toward Tallahassee after I captured Milton, Florida with a force from Mobile. I had just captured a city in Western North Carolina and I was converging the AotP, the AoWV, AotJ and Army (I never named it), but Banks was in charge all there. I had suffered a little of over 48K casualties, with the South suffering over 170K with 59K more taken as prisoners. It was November 1864, and I had decided to take the winter to consolidate everything. Son of a gun, guess what happened?

I won. I can’t believe that the South just gave up the ghost! Lincoln won the election by a landslide and that brought the threshold down to 185 (I think). It had been 225, but the election brought it down and I had 203 at the time. (The poor South was only taking in 8 victory points on cities per turn.)

I was so tickled.

Congrats on your win. You'll have to come around to my place for some free beers! Sticking with the game until the victory screen comes up is always fun. Also you get to learn more about the game. (I think the Sam Houston Event only occurs in '61= with only a low probability to fire.)

Have you already started scheming for your next victory?

Thanks, Much.

Umm.....next strategy? Yeah, for starters not do anything stupid. The last one was like the stupid leading the blind leading the dead!
