Your point #1 is very good. I'd like to see this game done with more resolution, and weekly turns!

Regarding the amount of supply, I look at how much I spent last turn. (Press the 'E' key).<br/>
Depending on how many unit's I'm building, add a bit to that.<br/>
And look a how much I have 'in the bank'. each factory builds 10 supply, so with<br/>
that info I can ...

I like to build factories in Richmond and Petersburg. Those should the last places to fall, and you'll need the supply they produce in the late game as the rest of the south falls under Union control.

<t> When using sub-commanders I don't build nearly as many field artillery as otherwise. When using sub-commanders, if you don't have artillery sub-commanders commanding, they frequently get captured if required to retreat. Don't waste supply and personnel on a bunch of artillery that can't be ...

If your opponent puts a fortress in Baton Rouge, with a bunch of heavy Artillery, New Orleans is tough to take.
Even if you can get in, you'll be out of supply untill you take out the guns in baton rouge.. (I found that out the hard way)

Agreed, great game.

Yes, if one wants to avoid a blitzkrieg just put enough troops in an area to avoid an overrun. Then it's gonna take two months to advance, one to win the battle and another to build depots. A pretty slow slog, 2 months per region.

Yes, John, the version I played was Victory Games. I still have that box somewhere. Such a simple concept made a great game. I dont remember many rules problems....

I don't know what the rules say, but it seems if units have more movement points left over they engage sooner.

The pinning is a good question. I was hoping to pull my Cav out of a battle. Was it that bridge over the Cumberland I needed to retreat over that prevented it? Or just combat odds? (Perhaps ...

I play semi randum with unknown ratings. Lee has appeared in spring of 62 and I wanted to make the best use of his abilities. I ended up replacing Beauregard with Lee as AC with the plan of eventually sending him (Beauregard) west to replace Polk ...

<t> When the option is selected, the rule isn't in effect until 1862. After that leaders with command points of 7 or more can attach other leaders. There are two levels of bonuses to units in battle, the Corps command bonus and the individual unit bonus. If one looks at the display, it tells when a ...

<t> It depends on what's spotted. Attack three regions with unspotted troops & let the defender guess which is the faint.<br/>
Or, when everyone is spotted the defender can put the appropriate reinforcements in each.<br/>
