<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>It's Okay, Actually I learned a little from the Mississippi River exchange from Chris also, about the lower Mississippi that is, however, I never got a chance to thank him for the info, because the tone of his replies were way too intense for me to care about continuing the ...

I have to agree with Lensman here. You seem quick to anger and quick to jump on someone who disagrees with you. I looked through the thread in the public beta forum as well as this one here. The only comment I saw from Lensman that I would consider at all annoying is when ...

I'm declining your invitation to a flame war... Discussion ended now

It's not an invitation, just a statement backed up by data that you don't know what you are talking about.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I also agree that runners have a easy life especially in 1861-1862. Maybe the ships 10% chance of sinking runner should also have a 10% of damaging it 1-10 damage like the danger factor has for trade. <br/>

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I'm not arguing the point anymore, since it would possibly evolve into a flaming war. My only request to the developers of the game is that if they make "blue water naval units" capable of moving up the Mississippi, that they at least include the option to turn it off for ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>No. I have experienced all flavors of this. Sometimes no surrendered units reappear, sometimes only some, and sometimes all. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Oh, OK and thanx for telling me that, i'll look for this to occur and tell you all about it here.<br/>

<t> You fellows are all right in many aspects. Just make the loss of any city a -1 to the side losing it, and a +0&nbsp;for the side gaining it, except for State Capitals, which would give the winner a +1 and the loser a -1 including the loser getting only a +1 if it retakes a State Capital. For the ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>How about showing us some instances where blue water sailing ships actually were used on the Mississippi during the ACW. Note I said "blue water sailing ships" and not steam powered ironclads/gunboats. The game differentiates between blue water sailing ships and gunboat ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I am not going to go into a lot of argumentative details here. I posted that link in order to show that they had to dredge the river in order to make it useful... Yes, there were and still are some places that are somewhat deeper, but on the whole it was not able to be ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>LOL, actually I agree with Chris on most of his posts but the use of the Mississippi River by "blue water naval units" was way over the top. There may be some rare special instances where it was tried, but it was so hazardous for those types of ships, that it was not ...

Yeah, if the North takes a CSA State Capital and then loses it, the North shouldn't be penalized so heavily as it is now. Myabe as you say only a -1 to National Will and a +1 for the CSA retaking the State Capital.

<r> Here Mr. Lensman, read some more about the Mighty Miss before you start telling me I don't know what I am talking about. Here in this excerpt you will see that the Miss. River scours holes a hundred and more feet in depth in its bends near the river banks, and its bed in the MAIN CHANNEL is over ...

The Mississippi River has been dredged since the 1930s to maintain a depth of 9 feet for barge traffic. Before that it was considerably less than 9 feet ...

Does this happen with every unit of yours that surrenders in HW?

No, I don't think it does, but didn't thoroughly check, and just noticed that LU's were reappearing. Maybe one of these other fellows has more info.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Does ships add any bonus to sieges? <br/>
In real ACW, many forts fell because being bombarded by US navy? I think USA had naval support on most places they landed, do they also in FoF? <br/>

In FoF from what I have seen USA , if south just place 10k men in a fort ...

That's happend to me too, and I think maybe Eric said that this bug had been noticed and will be corrected, but am not 100% positive.

nice Avr Chritof. I need to find one!
Christian

Thanx, Avatars can be fun. That's one big boat, too. There actually was a CSS North Carolina ironclad, and a CSS Raleigh, but they didn't fare to well. Chris

<t> You could balze away in an Infantry&nbsp;firefight in TS ACW games and at long range too, but you couldn't get routs or disordered status doing that usually, but you could run out of ammo. The Arty. worked well IMHO in the TS games. The 25 man-stepped casualty system wasn't that bad but wasn't ...
