RE: Wish List

<t> Thanks,<br/>
Yes was of huge importance. 26 of my ancestors we in the 63rd Virginia Infantry. They went to Saltsville once or twice...I believe they were still in the militia then before being absorbed in tho the 63rd, I'd have to look again at my regimental book. I do remember they were given ...

RE: Wish List

<r> As I had mentioned in another thread, and asked by a mod to post it to the wish list, a critical element is missing from the game in my opinion, and the zones which contained it should show some importance.<br/>
Zones such as Abingdon should contain Saltville.<br/>
Va, NY,Tx,La, FL all had ...

RE: Sherman's March to the Sea?

<t> Yes as LMUBill stated I was refering to Saltville in the Abingdon "hex" of the map. <br/>
<br/>
Including the major ones in the game would be a nice addition. FL, NY, Texas, Kenawa Va, Abingdon etc. I'm unfamiliar with fortifications at the others, but Saltville had a pretty impressive ...

RE: Sherman's March to the Sea?

<r> The other thing is territories such as Abingdon Va should have a huge value or at least an important Fort.<br/>
Saltville is located there. Kenawha would be another important zone for this.<br/>
Saltville was heavily defended and was attacked. Salt was THE most important commodity to keeping ...

RE: TF bug, units beaming back to port.

<t> I think it would be possible to send the turn prior to a TF creation, and turn after. <br/>
I realize just a leaking TF wouldn't give you much.<br/>
I'll have my opponent track this down, or start keeping track for the next instance and email you both turns, I have sent him your email. And ...

<t> yes , we both ensure that. <br/>
We have both been playing since the game first came out. And Pay attn to the forums etc.<br/>
We both make sure we have enough for fully loading a unit. I have even gone as far as independently loading a unit in it's ships (Troop only) and combining it with the ...
