Try to use an early war general that fell out of grace due to better available. Little Mac for the Union is one of those - he has high cp and a good infantry rating - IIRC this also mattered for training.

or Lee comes back only to be forbidden to act as AC nor TC. So only a corps commander at best,

And Lee is worth more then 46 privates in my humble opinion.

The point was that you don't send your Nemesis back to give him another chance at destroying you.

<t> After capturing Lee in Tenessee - his army got double enveloped - it seems Lee is exchanged during some "prisoners exchange" deal and comes back to the board - in my case 9 months.<br/>
<br/>
I like the idea about leaders get exchanged back and forth - however isn't that crazy that both Lee ...

perhaps you see their repaired units - they pop up in the factory provinces. Other reasons might be "healed" leaders that got damaged. ???

Spruce- I dont know why your Union ships arent hitting- I find more often than not over repeated battles the Confed ironclads get damaged and sunk with pretty common repeatedness. Against Human players

Are you still playing with CSCs on? If so, remember that you need them for your naval squadrons too.

That depends on the leader - if I send Faragut - I can add sub commanders, if I send ...

<t> Everybody thanks for their help, <br/>

however the point still is that a confederate 2 star Ironclad commanded by a good leader is nowhere from the 20'th century Bismarck or Yamato or Iowa class battleships.<br/>

In my game I send a big fleet of cruisers and ironclads ...

<t> I'm really fighting to win the game as the Union. I did a draft in 1861 and one in 1862. I fear to do more drafts. Generally I get the idea of winning as the Union - that is making it very hard for the rebels to get supplies and also to grind down their standing troops by jamming all their ...

It sounds like this is a display bug as it appears you are saying the factory is not actually destroyed, correct?

yes, they are "demolishing" my factory before they attacked - and they lost the battle ...

did you build ironclads from the start?<br/>
regarding confed ironclads, if you build ironclads whereever you can as the south, there is no problem of producing 5 or 6 in half a year<br/>
regarding troop numbers, i really do not know ...

<t> There's a bug in the game - as the Union I conquered NEw Bern and it's factory. I also took the swampland North of New Bern.<br/>
<br/>
Now, the rebels prepare to take NEw Bern back.<br/>
<br/>
So once in a while I got the pop up message - New Bern factory demolished before the rebels took ...

<t> About supplying the ships - it's not very clearly in the manual I must say ! I lost my second Union game - do you guys know how many hours I spend on that ?<br/>
<br/>
And a second thing - the manual says clearly to go and blockade the Confederate ports first and afterwards focus on the ...

<t> In my current Union game I'm facing a confederacy with more infantry units then me. I had a month were 170.000 confederate soldiers saw action (2 battles in Tenessee, and one battle in North Carolina).<br/>
<br/>
Another issue is the fact that the confeceracy builds ironclads that are ...

Any news on the bug ?
&nbsp;
How come Slaughter got these 5 brigades attached as this is way beyond his CP limit ?

In Mantrains defense I have to say for this game it's a triple "RTFM" and still new things come up. The game is not that simple you know.

If you can find a sequence that duplicates the problem (with or without the same leaders/units), and can get us a save we could use to duplicate the problem, it would help tremendously.
