Thanks, that will definitely help.

<t> 1. Able to disband own units. Good grief, once you hit out of supply, the game just keeps on building militia and it won't let me disband (or does it?) - so once I'm out of supply, it is almost impossible to get back to where I'm building more supply than I need.<br/>
<br/>
2. There is ...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ahhh thanks!, I'm familiar with a similar phrase "Working as intended".&nbsp; I have played such games as EQ.&nbsp; That was always their reply when a really bad bug hit.

I keep seeing it. I have no idea.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But as I said, I had maybe 4-5 up there one game and was getting kills or chases almost every turn to the point he had no more raiders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In my latest game I made Grant an AC as soon as he hit the board.&nbsp; Then I made Sherman one as soon as he hit the board.&nbsp; It helped with someone being injured or resigning right before Sherman came online.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 game in which the raiders were dropping like flies.&nbsp; This game I am in I have 6 cruisers and 1 ironclad up there and they aren't even chasing.

<t> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Because against ironclads they are supposed to be better?&nbsp; I had 4 fleets of cruisers against 1 fleet of ironclad and got lambasted.&nbsp; I am not basing that on any scientific data but it seemed that a fleet with an ironclad in it did a lot better even the cruisers did ...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If I know a game engine is good, the graphics don't stop me.&nbsp; If I don't know, the graphics sway me.

<t> I go in pretty quickly. If CSA has already violated, more the better, but if not, I still go in. I like to get Paducah and then depending on the array of forces, go ahead and hit Humboldt in Tennessee. I can usually go down the Mississippi pretty quickly and then it just depends on when I turn ...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe another good reason is if you win (and sometimes even if you lose) their command rating has a chance to increase. So, the more in there, the more trained up and capable leaders you have?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By 1864 I usually have to watch my consumption.&nbsp; In my current game halfway through 1864 and winning, I have about 500 supply.

<t> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In my current game against the AI, I did do a blocking manoever - the troops I feared would come down didn't come down, now whether that is because of what I did or because the AI decided not to, it still gave me a nice little victory in a crucial battle.<br/>

I've ...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You can't ever get into those two eastern regions so it doesn't matter much to me.

Oh. Yeah, it went CSA.

Edit: So, you can attack Ky first and still get the state. Well, there went all incentive for me not to attack Ky early. [:D]

<t> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless I'm doing something wrong, I'm using 25 garrison right now for Kentucky alone and I don't have all of the regions.&nbsp; The little red horse means it is in danger of partisan trouble, right?&nbsp; When I try to move any of those, I'm threatened with partisan trouble ...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Seems like I needed a lot more than that.&nbsp; I'll take a look at one of my saved games.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our fore-fathers did a truly wonderful thing and I feel very fortunate and grateful I am where I am.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh, BTW, Roll Tide, too.&nbsp; We had a pretty good run against Penn State in the 80s, although we did drop a couple. &nbsp;

What difficulty? And why was Paducah so hard? How was he able to get in so fast and build it up?
