<r> Question for vet players regarding charge in detailed combat-<br/> Does it have serious side effects to charge an enemy routed brigade while in column formation (I mean Infantry vs Infantry)? Should I always try to charge him with my troops deployed in battleline? Always trying to do the latter,...

300 replacement troops per camp each turn is actually not that realistic I'm afraid, depleted units are realistic

Bad command rating & bad logistics rating. Simple as that.

<t> Yes leaders can be added too. So far I have added<br/> Munford,_T.T. Poague,_W.T. Cutshaw,_W.E. Beckham,_R.F. McIntosh,_D.G. Haskell,_J.C. Hallonquist,_J.H. Smith,_M. Cabell,_H.C. Nethercutt,_J.H. <br/> <br/> Odd to see cesteman say Officers are never captured. In my games they are(they surrende...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Tanaka<br/> <br/> The manual says a corps can hold no more than 8 units but as you can see my II corps has many more than that! Has this changed?<br/> <br/> <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> I'm sure that means a Corps can hold no more than 8 Divisions not 8 Brigades</r>

My addition for wishlist is definitely that i want the map to include new mexico so there will be the opening of a new theater as the southern strategists initially intended

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: briny_norman<br/> <br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Mutation2241<br/> <br/> Really?

Although I always play the CSA normally simply because I can identify with them struggling for independence I might be playing the Union next just to see if I can smash the rebels. I'm sure it can be done in FoF

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: briny_norman<br/> <br/> Even the really bad ones can make a difference in combat - it's always better to have a brigade commanded by a lousy general than no general at all <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Really?

<t> Only thing thats bugging me is Longstreet had shown incapacity for independent command before, otherwise yes, actually had temporary command of the ANV at times, and temporary appointments turned into permanent ones were not unusual.<br/> <br/> Brings up the next question: Who is to replace Long...

<r> Hadnt Bragg already lost too much credit for such an appointment by 1865? He was commanding the Dept of NorCar under Joe Johnston, same rank but lower command level.<br/> <br/> Agree with Ingtar, Jackson would be the number one choice but he's unavailable in my scenario, and I want Longstreet to...

I doubt Pres. Davis would have agreed on a candidate who was not a West Point graduate

<r> Maybe I should add: It's very late in the war, A.S. Johnston has been killed early on, J.E. Johnston commanding the Western Department, Beauregard commanding in the far south, maybe I'll choose Robert F Hoke, but I've read Jeff Davis wanted to appoint Lee's son, Custis Lee, a hard decision I am ...

<t> When Marse Robert is killed on the field of battle, who should take command of the main army in the eastern theater? Did Lee ever make a personal choice on who should be his successor? I organize the forces historical accurate for the most part, so I want to have a successor who would be the mos...

I have to say this is the best Civil War game ive ever played.

Yes, same here!!!

<t> Another point relating to this: I've noticed the AI will send vastly understrength units (brigades that have been badly mauled in previous battles, sometimes containing less then 1000 men) as the first wave of attack in detailed combat, while it has several full-strength units in the 2nd and 3rd...

<t> Me thinks its a great suggestion, actually I was always regretting that Raiders and Scout units (or cavalry in general) were incapable of destroying any R.R. lines (only block movements). Would be a very significant improvement if they could do so, f.e. the entire Mobile & Ohio RR was destro...
