I build 30 factories as Union in 61-62 and don't regret it. In winter or in regions without railroads, troops can use 2 or even 3 supply point per brigade!

<t> I don't know about you, but the Activation Rule, while doing a fair job in reproducing the ACW, itch me on some aspects. Most notably that independent leaders in enemy territory has a far too low chance to do something. Remember Sterling Price for example ... You just can't do what he did in-gam...

I don't remember being raided and it shows that I have 20 supplies in the bottom panel.&nbsp;

<r> Pope (in Shiloh) is on the main grid (#211 for me), all troops are in supply. I have boats on the river, but the depot gave me no help for activation. Why that? And this is not the first time I have this kind of problems. <br/> <br/> The rail is damaged (not destroyed), but anyway you can be sup...

by the way can gunboats replace cruisers in the blockade area? (I know, I'm diverging from the topic)

what is the formula used? when a unit fight, you add army commander bonus + corps bonus plus a CSC taken at random's bonus?

ok this explains then, thanks. It is misleading, something like 200 (214-locked) could help.

That's that. So this is a bug and a serious one. I don't want to see AI moves when not allowed to do so!

I notice that when the CSA plays its turn, I see the real quantity of men they have everywhere. I don't quite get the logic? Or are the reports erroneous on purpose?

Hi there,

I must be missing something, Burnside has 214 promotion points, with 200 in ( ), for 3 turns, and he has not received his new star. What's happening, Mister President? You don't like his whiskers? [&:] [;)]

<t> Want a tactical game into your ACW one: WC Forge of Freedom<br/> Want tons of historical details on setups and events: AGEOD ACW<br/> Want abstracted but well designed/nicely flowing game: GG WBS!<br/> <br/> Difficult to say which one is the best, they all have merits. <br/> <br/> AS for the sca...

<t> What decide if a commander arrive with prom delay or not? Is prom delay not killing the prom game for commanders with a big delay? I mean, why adding commanders with 25+ delay? Why not let the players improve their seniority by combat action in this case? I don't understand the logic for long pr...

Does a mean exists to have a rough estimate of the force of a region without cavs? Do I have to bring some sea horses to see if there are 0 or a 30.000 Men corps at New Orleans for example? (ok, I'm using an extreme example, but you get the idea [:D] )

In the strat screen, when you see the active commanders of the opposing side. Are the activations the one he will get for his next move (so useful to plan accordingly) or are they are the past one (not much of use to me) ?

yes Sir! I be sure to return to you if I encounter something weird.

Thanks.

<t> A gunboat broke my line indeed, but this was one turn ago. If there is a one turn delay it can explains, but this is not logical, as what you see are my ships before I moved any, and they are all in supply, so why the CSA turn shows they is a line broken, as I play before him and the line was re...

<r> I was blockading the South, and then ... that!<br/> <br/> The ships are in supply before Charleston and everywhere, <br/> there is even a continuous chain of transports. <br/> But I don't have any blockade % running ... <br/> If this is not a bug then somebody explains the rule doing that please...

Newbie question, is it better to have Grant as a very good unit commander with a capacity of 13+ or have him as a good Army commander, with sub commanders with average capacities?

thanks for the answers
