<t> @Rasmus: Hallo,&nbsp;after all I started a new campaign. No problem because I made a few mistakes. (like building a factory in a city that is better for producing money and so. Now I always take a good look before I build something. Like just building research buildings in Citys with a ...

RE: Attacking Fortifications

<t> I do agree. As I started in the first battle I thought, I can not conquer those huge forts. But then the CSA was attacking and most of the time with more or less single brigades. It was easy to kill them. After the morale of the South broke, they just left their forts.<br/>

RE: First steps

<t> Another thing, after the successfull siege of one of those 4 forts near Memphis, the Army of Kentucky marched back to Illinois without any order. Why? Is it a matter of a lack of supply? I just gave them low priority. Now I have to bring them back to finish up those forts before I can attack ...

RE: First steps

<t> Hi, after playing until summer of `63, I read about the Brigade attributes. (year very late) <br/>
But I can´t find the way how to buy a ballon for example. I thought under 1.6 Unit Information and detailed Controls, I would find the information, but no. Help!<br/>
<br/>
I also read, when you ...

RE: First steps

year found out. Was a stupid question. Of course it´s in the same box, where you buy Corps, Divisions, ships usw. usw. Sometimes you´re not be able to see the forest for all the trees. Next questions coming soon. Stay tuned. [:)]

RE: First steps

<t> @Rasmus: Thx<br/>
<br/>
@ Eric: Yes I`m on 1.9.4 and Southern steel.<br/>
I had 147k troops in that battle. So they could not outflank me. They tried, but I send two Reserve Divisions to my right wing to face that. I think Rasmus gave the right explanation. Not my province, troops of low ...

RE: First steps

<t> Yes I`m playing the beta patch. I wanna play "Southern steel" as Union. (Hey I´m a beginner)<br/>

There`s always poping up a window, asking me whom I wanna promote to 4 star General. Is there a possibility just to promote a 1 star to a 2 star and so on? I think in real life there ...

RE: First steps

<t> Txs for all the help so far, especially to Ramuss.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
One more question. When I open an Corps Container for example and I detach a 2star General, is he automatic &nbsp;detached to a division? And is a 3star General automatic the Corps Commander? Is a&nbsp;1star General always ...

RE: First steps

<t> @Walloc: Hi, txs for your answer. Well Jütland is northern Danmark. Don`t know, but it´s already about 800 km`s (500 miles) from my town to the german-danish border, when you go by car. We`re located just about 50 km`s or 30 miles north to the french border. Never knew that there is a military ...

RE: First steps

<t> @Eric Rutins: Hi, txs for your answer. I did the Flash Tut. So Ihink I do it again. But as a suggestion the old phrase "learning by doing" is always right. So the Tut should be in a way like many other games, where you have kind of an AI Teacher who is telling you lesson by lesson, what to do ...

RE: First steps

<t> I don´t really know if this region is belonging to that area too, but the name should be "Nordpfälzer Bergland".<br/>
( North Palatinate mountainland ) I don´t know why they named it Bergland. There´s only hills. <br/>
I don´t know the name of the "Kaserne(n) in Baumholder. I remember there is ...

First steps

<t> Hi, I orderd the game in the UK, just before Easter, physical and download.<br/>
Over the holydays, I studied the manual (puh, 252 pages) and then started the game with the Standard Campaign, advanced and Sarge.<br/>
<br/>
Reading a manual like this one time of course is not the way to master ...
