One feature a day serie: #8 The various kinds of movements

AACW features fully integrated rail and riverine transports which allows troops to smoothly combine the various movements types in the same turn. Improve your network by laying new rails and buying new locomotives. Lay waste to the enemy network by destroying rails. Use Riverine movement to surprise your opponent and block waterways or estuaries with forts, ironclads, gunboats and emplaced batteries.
Locomotives and riverine boats are handled by the Transport Pool, at the national level. You can expand this pool to allow more troops to be moved, or at the very least you will want to maintain it, as rolling stocks and locomotives suffer from wear and tear regularly.
But that's not all, as you also have both ocean going ships, and shallow draft river or coastal ships. The Union will have most of these units, unless the Confederate player spend a significant part of his income into a naval strategy ...
