Sorry I am late on the update. Weekend is busier than planned. I have the stuff with me, I'll try to do it at the hotel tonight.

RE: New Strategy Guide

I'll start putting one together then. Although, I won't be much help on Brother versus Brother. I tend to play quick match exclusively on this game, mostly just to get through complete games quicker as my gaming time is relatively limited.

I have experienced #1 quite a few times. I am not sure why it happens, but there is a work around. In places you know you will have big battles (I.e. northern Virginia) then keep a Corps container with your essential ...

RE: Anyone up for a PBEM game?

Sounds good. You can post here or by PM about rule preferences. I haven't done any MP on this game yet, but have done MP on other games, and enjoy the challenge. I enjoy playing with hidden attributes and random generals, but as I mentioned, I am open to most anything.

RE: Undocumented Formula?

<t> Bug, be sure you only have three. Remember the Valley district is a corp container. I think the two stars are hardcoded for under 20, and the rulebook is inaccurate. Terje is correct, they changed it in one of the patches. They also changed the rules on how camps work, as well as a few other ...

RE: Erratic Governor

<t> All I know is the governors of Virginia and Tennessee hate me very quickly and they continue to hate me all game. There has to be more that boosts governor liking than building buildings for them or promoting generals. Maybe an across the board increase for winning a large battle or an increase ...

RE: Rational

<t> Walker has an army with him, it is probably around 15 brigades if I had to guess from memory. The opposition is minimal anywhere north of Buell's army in the Mississippi river. The only problem he will have is if Buell pulls back to defend Nashville. Lee is resting because he was shellacked a ...
