Well this time there is more than a single balloon: an engineer and two artillery regiments.
No comment.
Then comes the reconquest of New Orleans, with the terrible and invincible union division:
(See the "won but effectively lost" battle episode on the "Two battle questions this time !" post first)
Well, two whole healthy divisions against a single isolated and defeated (in theory) division in enemy lands – Results: a crushing dedeat and a whole division almost annihilated.
Seriously, are these results really coherent since CSA won the battle a turn before with a single division ?
Its normal that assaulting an entrenched stack involves high causalities but in this case the results are a little bit excessive given the battle conditions IMHO.
Should I bring my whole Army of the Potomac and Army of the Tennessee to defeat a single division and to get back New Orleans or is it still not enough ?
An other thing: is it really coherent that a fully isolated army (forts around the city are still there) in the depths of enemy territory can still receive supplies and most of all still receive reinforcements ?
Last thing, I can see an insignificant power for this stack on the map popup (the black one that displays when you pass the cursor on the stack): 3/3.
Evidently, these numbers are incorrect as you can see in the battle reports, could it be a bug there?
I must say my opponent and me are having a great PBEM game but to be honest, those battle incoherent results are spoiling it a bit.
