Shiloh - A Newbie Attempt

[spelk]

After a couple of days worth of fiddling with AGEOD's AACW, heres the beginnings of my AAR for Shiloh.

Its not an example of how to win at the scenario, far from it, its just a newbie attempt at understanding the mechanics and playing out a simple scenario. Hopefully some folks might read it and become inspired to try the game out and then teach me a thing or two.

As you read it, you might notice I only have the most basic grasp on whats going on. All comments and advice most welcome - especially from the AGEOD vets willing to help newcomers to the AGEOD games

Hi Spelk,

Thanks to take the time to write an AAR. Two comments :

as long as the Corps stays in Command range of its associated Army, they can come to each others aid if necessary – something about “Marching to the sound of the Guns”

Marching to the sound of guns can happen only between adjacent corps of the same army.

I have some gunboats stationed at Nashville and I bring them out into the immediate river (imagining that they may help block crossings over the river – but I’m not sure if this the case – it felt like a good move).

Gunboats will indeed block river crossing. Here is the detailed rule (with patch 1.11d and later) :
[INDENT]"Ships blocking troop passage over the river now have 23% chance per ship to block the passage (of all troops during the turn), up to 90%."[/INDENT]
