love the changes, i had this shelved for a bit, anxious to try it out!

<t> frankly i wouldnt worry about this much.&nbsp; mortality rates were actually quite high, as they should be.&nbsp; my suggestion would be to add many of the rising stars that fell on the battlefield to supplement the losses.&nbsp; this has the addition positive effect of adding more variety and ...

<t> I had this exact same thought and spent too much time modifying the leader sheet only to realize that i simply didnt have the knowledge or time to do as thorough of a job as i would like.&nbsp; if you finish this i would love to see the results.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
i would also suggest further ...

percent of commitment of available forces.&nbsp; if the bar is full, all forces are committed.&nbsp;better generals, dependent on terrain, can commit more troops. &nbsp;the numbers indicate the force for calculating retreat, higher number = better

<t> i honestly doubt that you recieved 15 hits in a row. i have played at least 10 full campaigns and never gotten anything close to that mark, and that includes attacking unsupplied armies who have HUGE modifiers against them.<br/>
<br/>
my suggestion would be to take a little more time to ...

<t> Alright, one least suggestion and then I think I'm done.<br/>
<br/>
I've noticed that once you control the river the confederacy can play a cute game of hide n' go seek with their artillery. If you pop one or two HA here or there you can prevent movement (or incur opportunity shots) but you ...

<t> I was at that phase at one point... the more you understand the game the better it gets.&nbsp; You are likely loosing the battles because you are overlooking something.&nbsp; Its very important to choose teh right generals, the right place, scout, etc etc.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Are your cruisers ...

it shows how many of available forces are committed

I don't think thats what he meant.&nbsp; I think he meant he wants computer production on all the time, but he just wants to see what the computer is producing (and possibly edit it if he disagrees)

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Some saw real advantages in a destroyed American mega economy- a peace treaty was what they wanted between both sides- a negotiated settlement, with Britian the peacemaker- the deal maker.&nbsp;Some southern victories at that moment might have&nbsp;tipped the debates to the ...

in my current PBM game the vast majority of the action has been in virginia.&nbsp; I think PBM is where this game really shines, as the AI tends to use the same strategy in every game

<r> Lee's supply lines were strained to the point of snapping in Pennsylvania. They were also extremely vulnerable. His army had one good fight in it and he knew it. His hope was that a decisive victory could be followed up by a peace treaty, which I don't think would have been accepted. Lincoln ...

<t> i was thinking about this today... <br/>
2 things<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
1.&nbsp; every major invasion the south undertook was with the aim of ending the war.&nbsp; these offensives universally had the same effect-- boosting recruitment by phenomenal proportions and steeling the norths war resolve ...

I guess we will have to agree to disagree

<t> So in a one month span, a force has absolutely no hope of retreating before they are swarmed by overwhelming numbers?&nbsp; Massive troops can 'react' into the region, but they can't react out?&nbsp; <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Your example shows how one could defend if he chose to.&nbsp; I'm refering ...

am i the only one who thinks kentucky was never really going to go confederate?

<t> i think the best method would be to give a large PP swing for every northern territory taken, plus a large per turn cost if not retaken.&nbsp; this would not only encourage southern offensives, but it would replicate the reaction the north had to these invasions by forcing the north to retake ...

just to clarify, i'm not talking about retreating once battle has commenced... i'm talking about retreating when the unit enters your territory, but before battle commences.

<t> ...........are you serious?<br/>

lets say i have fully scouted 120,000 union troops facing me in Washington.&nbsp; Opposing them I have 6,000 men in manassas.&nbsp; Now, when those 120,000 troops advance to manassas, are you telling me that the "ability" of those 6,000 men to not ...

sarge there seems to be a piece of wood&nbsp;lodged in&nbsp;your rear, might do to remove it
