oh yeah?
Interesting... Is that a function of the command staff?

Time to read the manual. [:)]

I would play detailed if there was a prebattle set up phase. Having my divisions scattered all over just drives me nuts.

I agree with Erik. One large army but you can delay out the arrival times of the divisions in HW like what happened many times in the real war.

<t> Thanks TwoTribes, you're exactly right. I used the forum search but couldn't find the dev post where they explained it.<br/>

It's early war and I'm using real basic infantry to siege with. No engineers or siege guns. I spend all my money in the east mostly. <br/>

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster... Anyways I'm a Union player and so far I've been really bogged down by sieges in the west. Maybe I'm not building my western armies up enough but it seems like sieges are way too deadly. I'm sieging in Kentucky and Tennessee ...
