And, the I Wish. I think this would be the definitive game for playing the Civil War on the Strategic scale if somehow the following could be achieved. But I realize that these could be so embedded in the game engine that I would require a new engine. But its a "I wish". I think the main s...

Some suggestions that would make the informational displays like Maps, Reports, and Graphs more useful. All Graphs should use major scales of 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 intervals. Who thought intervals of 140 were a good idea? Even odd ball but at least a multiple of 10 ones like 150 are of lim...

The problem with how its handled right now is that it comes in right on the border in precise locations and (I believe) at a pretty precise turn number. It is worth the Rebel time to put enough units on that border to kill the column. It probably now won't occur but the chance of picking ups so many...

Lessons Continued A couple of things from getting beat by Beriand. The California Column has a problem unless the developers modify how they arrive in Arizona. The Union can place their main force right on the border hexes and wait for them to pop into existence. Then kill them before they have any ...

Lessons and Observations: My other AAR against Beriand showed me a lot of mistakes I was making in Research. My take on most things is based on my playing the South. I don't think I really know how to play the north yet. And a lot of my conclusions on the South may not hold up against a well-played ...

Summary of War continued. Virginia Northern Virginia makes an excellent area to for the South to stall the Union. The Union badly needs to make headway here to threaten Richmond. But they have a lot of problems, and the South has a lot of advantages. The North must advance far enough south to take F...

Turn 149 Union A lot of small attacks but the Union wasn't in position to take anything that would have boosted their Fighting Spirit from 9% to back to 10% so game ends. Confederate Major Victory. My thanks to Pionpion for sticking with the game even after some crippling early mistakes. And for kee...

Turn 148 Aug 5, 1865. RP: In Virginia they kill my Corps and advance on Fredericksburg but can't take it. In Tennessee the Union line advances to the riverbank. Ft. Donelson falls. In Arkansas they push up to the river just north of Little Rock. Reports: Mex: 23/20. UK 14, Fr 10, Sp 21. Land: 115/10...

Turn 146 Contd At Georgetown I advance my line with just minor attack by my Corps on one of their Marines. Slowly closing in for the kill but may need more units to do it. Turn 146 Gt.jpg At Tampa I make one more try to take the port before my units are so low on supply they can't fight. Unfortunate...

Turn 146 Jul 22, 1865. RP: In Arkansas they attack toward Little Rock. In Tennesse the advance south continues to the river line and toward Knoxville. But only one brigade is lost. Off of Tampa they sink one of my Ironclads. Reinf: Division to Nashville. Reports: Mex 23/20. UK 14, Fr 9, Sp 21. Land...

Turn 144 Jul 8, 1865. RP: In Arkansas their drive switches to a new direction (headed for Little Rock) and they withdrew the cavalry that took Clarendon. General advance in Tennessee continues. In Virginia the Union pulls back its line. Likewise, in Georgetown the Union force pull back closer to Geo...

Turn 142 Jun 20, 1865. RP: In South Carolina the invasion force draws up a line around Georgetown. In the Valley they kill my Cavalry unit. They retake Fredericksburg again killing one of my Corps in the process. It also looks like they are making a major push to take Knoxville killing my brigade a...

Turn 140 May 39, 1865. RP: In Missouri a lot of skirmishing along with the loss of another brigade. The Marines take Charleston resulting in quite a hit to FS and Foreign support. In Virginia Fredericksburg is taken along with the Corps defending it. Another big FS and Foreign support hit. Union sh...

Turn 138 May 7, 1865. Update to 1.03 occurred. I see they fixed the NC Gunboat problem. RP: The Union navy attacks Beaufort. Not sure why. At the mouth of the Mississippi two Union Ironclads showed up and sunk two of my gunboats. One of the Union amphibious ships runs into one of my Monitors and ge...

I lost Fort Monroe on a misclick (amph transporting the brigade there), and my opponent took it despite my honorable demand not to do so, I accept that, my fault after all. Sorry about that. I don't always notice the messages in this game unless I am expecting one and look for it. Game needs some k...

Turn 136 Apr 15, 1965. RP: Another AVL moving south. I am shifting some units to the southern ports so they will be relatively near when needed. In Kentucky they kill another division. In Arkansas they continue their advance south. Reinf: Division to Nashville and Jackson HQ to Nashville. Reports: ...

Turn 134 Mar 24, 1865. RP: AVL's still heading down the coast. In Virginia they kill 2 of my Corps (Ouch). Sherman shows up as well. Kentucky just attrition with loss of one division. In Arkansas the Union is shifting their attack weight westward above Little Rock. And, they sink my sub. So much fo...

Turn 132 Feb 10, 1865. RP: In Arkansas/Missouri line they continue pressing me, killing another Brigade there. Kentucky just minor attacks killing another division. Union sinks one of my Gunboats off NC. Reinf: Div to Nashville, River Timberclad to Memphis, RR Battery to Petersburg and Cav to Savan...

Just wanted to give a quick tip on the last point. If you right click a HQ unit there's an option to sack and replace the general in charge for a small MPP tax. That I didn't know. Definitely would be easier and quicker. Is there some kind of penalty other than MPP? Like FS hit for dumping people l...

Turn 130 Dec 30, 1864. End of year and beginning of final year of war. I have to get the Union FS below 10% before then or only have a minor victory. RP: Looks like Union evaculating their forces around Norfolk. In Kentucky they kill one of my Corps continuing the back and forth attack and countera...
