Thanks for this offer. <br/>
One question: I ordered the digital download <B><s>[b]</s><e>[/b]</e></B>and <B><s>[b]</s><e>[/b]</e></B>the backup disk for $9.99<br/>
Do I now need to order the Game on Demand in order to get the printed manual?<br/>
I will pay the extra as I think ...

Right now FoF has the ability to bypass "detailed battle," so I wouldn't see the longer game as an issue. It can still be played fairly quickly as a strategic/operational game, or with a BG addition, it could be played with all the detail one could desire.

<t> Any chance this series of games could be linked to the recently released Forge of Freedom as the tactical partner?<br/>
I have always been a fan of John Tiller's games, and have recently purchased Forge of Freedom, which is a great strategic/operational game. However, if they could be combined ...

<t> With regards to total strength, I intentionally increased the amounts found in the ACW in order to give the player an ability to do things slightly ahistorical. That is why I recommended a cap on the Union at 150,000. Also over historical numbers by a small margin. <br/>

The rest of my ...

<t> I did some digging into the Battle of Gettysburg and came up with the following numbers for the AoP and ANV.<br/>
<br/>
AoP in game terms would have had:<br/>
1 Army container<br/>
8 Corps containers (including 1 Cavalry Corps)<br/>
23 Division containers (including 1 Artillery Division at ...

<t> Since you asked, and because there seems to be some much concern over the tactical battles and results, I would like to see a tactical game added on, ala HPS Sims American Civil War games. The strategic game is very good and enjoyable, but having a regimental/battery tactical game that produces ...

This idea came up during playtest, and was decided against for historical reasons. More often than not both sides tended to mix regiments of different states into their brigades. Now, had FoF been a regimental game YES I'm sure this would ...

I hesitate to comment only because my experience thus far has been against the computer. I am now in a PBEM game but it is too early for me to evaluate that.<br/>
<br/>
My biggest balance concern is that camps seem too easy for the ...

You probably are maxed out on manpower or divisions. An army can accept only a total of 8 corps *OR* 35 divisions *OR* 140,000 men. So even if you have only three corps attached, if you are at 120,000 men, you can't attach another corps with ...

Im looking for an opponent to play with pretty much all options enabled, including...<br/>
<br/>
1. Random Generals, hidden stats<br/>
2. I don't care if Southern Emancipation is on or off, so I will let my opponent decide<br/>
3. Prefer ...
