Yes, that is the correct interpretation of how sharpshooter ability works.

<t> Always leave some unused rail capacity before ending your turn. Every turn you will lose 3% of your rail cap due to attrition and this will occur before any movement. There is also a chance to have a rail accident which results in addition rail cap loss. I leave at least 5% rail cap unused to ...

<r> At this stage of the war you need 3:1 against an highly entrenched force. But it's not just raw numbers it's the maximum frontage and how many combat/support elements that can be deployed that really counts. And that is dependent on the respective leaders. In clear terrain the formulas are; <br ...

They have a real dilemma with VP’s if they try and fix it as it’s tied to foreign entry and if the CSA gets way ahead in the early years the Union will never be able to prevent foreign entry from firing. I think the only thing they can do ...

<r> I faced a similar situation in the AACW tournament. I trapped Longstreet with 4 divisions in Memphis, and waited. It took about 8 months before he ran out of supplies, then I panicked and attacked. And Grant's army got wrecked. <br/>

The key is Edmund's Ferry. Get a fleet of ironclads ...

<r> Jackson managed to gain 24% MC, not enough for the AOS to use the rail. My attack has been delayed and may not be feasible anymore. I'm sure Jim has seen the danger to Pittsburg by now and he'll be sending reinforcements. I doubt I can get there first. So I'll concentrate on WV instead.<br ...

<r> Late August- Victory at Munfordville. On to Louisville. <br/>

<r> Early July- No surprise that Parkerburg WV fell. Smith moves up the rail line. <br/>
Jackson will follow soon. <br/>

I'm concentrating forces near Memphis and Nashville in case KY opens up.<br/>

Late July- Cav will move to Washington WV to cut the rail and scout Pittsburg. Smith ...

<r> In late April Sam Houston even fired. You get some free units including a 6lb battery, and that's nice since there isn't anything in TX to start with. All that's needed is to capture Dallas and chase those two cav units out of TX.<br/>

The CSA will get some forces in WV, a few 2 element ...

<t> Welcome to my AAR, or my nightmare depending on how things go.<br/>
<br/>
Both Jim and I have played ACW1 by pbem although not against each other. I've played about a dozen games and won about 60% of them. That's an OK record, and indicates that I still have a lot to learn about this game ...

You can use the map option for terrain (7 key) and the tool tip will tell you what the movement and combat penalties are.

You need 4 elements of combat vessels to block a river crossing. They cannot be on passive.

I'll give it a try. I've had the game for a couple of weeks only, so please go easy on me [;)]

After rereading Wildman's tutorial I have got the solution. The Task bar. It allows you to switch to the type of plane you want. That plane becomes the new default, and it is a simple matter to switch back and forth as necessary.

<t> I'm using single squadrons. I find paired squadrons take too long to assemble.<br/>
<br/>
For example, I have a Spit squadron (65) based at Lympne. When I click the base and then patrol, rather than having 65 patrol its own base, its the nearest Hurricane squadron which gets assigned. To get ...

<t> When setting up patrols and intercepts the game selects the nearest Hurricane squadron to do the task. If I want a Spitfire squadron to patrol or intercept I have to first commit all available Hurricane squadrons first before the game selects the nearest Spitfire squadron. Then after I've gotten ...
