Because ppl will start ghost games they are losing at en masse (which already happens) and PBEM system is not prepared for that.

Recently played vs the AI where I felt like I had New Orleans adaquately defended, yet in one turn the Union AI was able to land Marines, zoom around my defenders, attack and destroy the Fort Unit (in New Orleans) and subjugate it all in one turn.

:shock:

This has occured before in other ...

Should be still above 100%

You can go with "Soft build" limit in game setup. It drops down the prefixed limits for unit builds (I think for brigades too).

In my last game as CSA I was able to capture Washington in early June 62' (played against good player that went bit too much into navy too early) so it was hardly a minor offensive.

CSA has a lot of hitting/offensive power at least for 2 full years if played correctly.

Are you moving the Confederate cavalry to within four hexes of Fort Thorn, but at the same time not capturing Mesilla?

If that's what's happening then I can see the potential issue here.

Yes, for example:
1) You can go for Cooke's Spring (which is within 4 hexes of Fort Thorn and 3 ...

If Confederate player waits for "CSA invasion of New Mexico begins!" event, allowing CSA cavalry to appear at Cofederate Arizona, without sending any troops there in initial deployment, CSA automatically loses one of the regiments auto-deployed in New Mexico - will it be fixed or is it an intended ...

Good decision for mid-turn autosaves.

It seems game has been patched to 1.09 recently

EDIT: v1.09.00 list of changes

GAME ENGINE
- Fixed a unit movement error when land operational movement is disabled (El_Condoro)
- Fixed a rare Diplomacy chit reclamation error that led unusually high influence chits remaining (Tigertony).
- Fixed a ...

(...)Another left a negative review of the game (on Steam) and sited my tactics in the review.

#5 My axis opponent had left his German and Italian fleets in port, so I sent pretty much the whole British fleet to Pearl Harbor just before the Japanese attacked. They, along with the US navy pretty ...

You don't want to play as the Union because it takes strategical work? You don't like playing as the Union because they have to be on the offensive? But this is the ACW? I'm playing as CSA in my PBEM game against GamingwiththeColonel and having a really hard time. It is so difficult to defend ...

No devs up for test of 1.08 issues as Union?

Damn. I heard it was balanced enough (just a bit snarky ).

Theoretically, you are right.
Practically playing Union is no fun anymore IMO.

Practically, now we have a WWI game set in ACW period and mechanism was tinkered to somehow force Union player to act offensively to make it look like ACW (yet CSA player can play "Petersburg-siege!" card or "Defensive ...

Hello,

Please note: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11919&t=392244&p=5131046#p5131046

The proposition would be to exclude Union handicap (-200 NM) as Union losses in 63' tend to drastically increase if CSA player knows what to do (camp under high HQ on solid terrain more than a ...

For now, something should be done to make Blue & Gray campaign more balanced as -200 NM hits to Union morale every turn forces Union player on very strict timer when he is constantly underpowered in offensive moves (CSA player can just comfy-sit on high-def terrain, pack troops under Longstreet, Lee ...

A/A, standard conditions, please PM and lets setup a game

If you can beat the AI at max difficulty but haven't played much in MP, let's rumble.

Max difficulty/OS'ed and OXed Union is probably better than 95% of players. Just saying

Interesting point of view about FRA first, wish to see some PBEM youtube videos concerning this strategy against good players.

Finally, in your game, did you put your German subs on the British NM hexes? After about 3 turns, that will shut down their west coast ports and will terminate all convoys ...

Imo:
- either China is too strong now or Japan is too weak

I had to cool off after my first MP game in SC:WWI before posting because I kind of felt „dolchstoßed“ by the game mechanics. Yup, first game, I know, but I do have a lot of experience from SC classic games and SC:ACW game.

So here's my point:

1) I have destroyed around 45 (mostly GB and RUS ...
