Potential elegant solution-- change the color of the *counter* on the map. "Elite" units get one color, "troublemaker" units get another.

Voila-- useful chrome.

I find myself constantly checking the map when asked to change airfields. Perhaps if the text mentioned where you airfield currently was or your current airfield was highlighted on the map you can pull up in the decision menu it would be ...

That worked, thanks!

I'm getting a crash to the main program on the AI turn. Latest version, up-to-date drivers, etc., etc.

Help? DxDiag attached...

By the way, regarding Dickson, the cost I mentioned is for non-winter months. In the winter it climbs to 6 for a reaction move, making it impossible for any infantry to get in. Only artillery led by a 4 leader, and cavalry lead by a 3+ leader ...

<r> JaMiAM, thank you so much for your thorough answers. . . wow, really, thanks!<br/>

My follow-up comments:<br/>

Sweet-- thanks!

<t> Yeah, I have no trouble with the forts.&nbsp; It's just that after the forts are taken, nothing I seem to do ever gets me able to go into New Orleans.<br/>

Might need to dedicate an AC down there in my next game, see if that works.<br/>

As long as it's asked here-- do I need transports *in* the sea region with the blockade ships, or merely *adjacent* to the sea region with the ...

Thanks for all the great feedback.&nbsp; Yes, I've realized that building factories is key-- did that in a Union game and I got through that 1862 trough with no less than 600 supplies.&nbsp; Hope that holds true for 1863, we'll find out tonight .

<t> I'm going to need to hunt down a scholarly citation, but from my readings, the garrison requirements during the Civil War were absolutely huge, especially in the West.&nbsp; IIRC, that's one of the reasons Sherman cut loose to march through Georgia-- something like half his combat power was tied ...

I'd appreciate an official verdict on this thread.

From the South, via a phib campaign. . . if yes, any tips or tricks on how to do it?

I can take the two forts easily, but after that, I never can get moving again, no matter the quality of my AC/leaders present.

<r> <I><s>[i]</s>2. There are some regions that you just cannot get into it seems - I had movement of 4 and not in winter and cavalry wouldn't go in. So, it looks like I'll need to bring over an AC, get initiative to try to get in there.<e>[/i]</e></I><br/>

I ran into that a lot in my first ...

<r> Finished my first Union campaign-- didn't go so hot. Got the blockade down, did well in the East, but in the West I got delayed for nearly a year by the dreaded Fortress Paducah bug (oh, wait-- that's WAD? I'm sorry then sir, for your game is *broken*! <E>;-)</E>.<br/>

Anyway, that's not ...

Yup, just had this problem myself-- I've been running full-screen, flipping back and forth, never had a problem before tonight.&nbsp; Grrr.

Please fix this!

In the meantime. . . guess I'm restartin'!

<t> The good news is, this is accurate: <br/>
-- Need 3-4 guns minimum<br/>
-- Level 1 fort minimum, but in practice, only Level 2 works<br/>
-- Artillery leaders are necessary, work wonders (as CSA, Pemberton might as well be the artillerist Guderian, he's outstanding for this).<br/>
