<t> Hi folks. I have watched this last year develop from a single player only to a PBEM game. Didn't get involved then because was in the middle of a move. I noticed the new title released this Summer recently downloaded it and thought it was interesting. I am a little concerned though, small ...

I loaded up two separate saves from 2 players, same error keeps popping up. Fatal Error Code#123999777, There is an error with your serial number as entered. Please contact support@matrixgames.com for assistance. Any Ideas?

<t> As far as historical, this game is most accurate I've played in awhile. As far as TMI, that may be what you are griping over. <br/>
<br/>
The Union and CSA know when their Generals will arrive, they know where they must focus and where they will probably not need much firepower. <br/>
<br ...

<t> I think the point here of focusing Lee in the East or a slight risk of losing him in battle is to allow the Union a more historical feel. <br/>
<br/>
If you put Lee way out West in the Swamps of the MI and he dies well then you will likely lose earlier. Your gambling, a little<br/>
<br ...

initiative percentage chance may be higher with General Lee as a TC Spruce, but he has AC combat modifiers that matter too much while a TC doesn't use these same modifiers they do not actually fight

<t> Doc, I think that pre Civil War you only had the Mexican American War for reference and experience so this hurt discovering good Generals. Plus a split in the Officer corp some being from the South and some form the North. There you go, a difficult situation altogether. Why the Yanks couldn't ...

I see, this must've cost me a few battles, I won't leave my men unattended by leadership again. Too used to no CSCs

<t> I have seen a couple of players up around 300 or so Infantry very quickly for the Union. The Draft may cost, but it is definitely worth it if you can take several key pieces of real estate<br/>
<br/>
I think the key is doing it early, as Erik mentions, so that the #s force the CSA on the ...

<t> I see, a little better understanding "I think!"<br/>
<br/>
Although, say for instance I get&nbsp; 4 subs for LongStreet, approximately. a 1/1/2, a 2/2/2, 3/3/2.....you're saying the Infantry modifier is all that matters? Their Rank counts despite their alphabetization? In which order who'll ...

<t> I have found this subject to be little covered in the manual or on-line here on the boards.<br/>
<br/>
Generally you get a great deal of lower end Generals with low command ratings, the deal here is that it can clutter your choices......Can some people give me an idea of a good command ...

<r> First off, Grant is good. With 80,000 men vs your little rabble what do you expect? That's close to 2 to 1 odds... What you want to win an offensive battle...Historically the South lost roughly in that region and you should too. Now as far as delaying it a little longer or evening the odds you ...

i still don't get the value of CSCs, seems like all they do is die or get wounded instead of your regular leadership...&nbsp;

<t> spruce, varied questions...<br/>
<br/>
Common sense will break down this game for you. Depending on the rules you have set, I would play the AI about 3 or 4 Xs....that or 1 thorough game on easy setting to just study the interface. <br/>
Basically the break down of this game is like this:<br ...

<t> that's true Cliff,<br/>
<br/>
there are instances where taking the initiative ends well, and there instances, i.e. Waterloo when it goes real sour real fast. Even the entire Russian Campaign for Napoleonic Wars, just let the opponent in, wait till he wins a few victories, surround him then ...

<r> AI you can beat up all day long if you just watch where he's coming. He is predictable. As far as I can tell the AI is made to only attack where it has a certain percentage to win and that is rare <E>:)</E> good for you! <br/>
<br/>
A human opponent requires that the CSA does not make the ...

<t> I think the fact the Union outweighs the South so heavily in so many ways so early, makes things tough, give leaders to an adept Yank and you may be facing a juggernaut that rips through the south much earlier than historical also! So how would you fix it, what if like in some other war games I ...

Winfield, E-mail me Wargamer123@aol.com

<r> I would play you!<br/>
<br/>
No point to the game without a bad guy <E>:)</E> Well, that's relative. Germany may or may not have been the bad guy in WW1, but we still need that for a good historical wargame. <br/>
<br/>
There is always a good guy and a bad guy. The Victors write the history ...

<t> It is considerable, since the Union has a lot more Militia<br/>
<br/>
1 territory is 'enough'&nbsp; after so many miles in a month men get tired, they cannot march any further, let alone consolidate the territory they've taken<br/>
<br/>
often, one blitz through kentucky/ten, with amphib all ...

Whatever rules, Johnny Reb is getting better
