Events 3/3

My siege drags on.. Sigh, so many casualties. I should of probably prepared better.

Yet another enormous victory for the Confederates. The AOT managed to attack Kenawha and do further damage to the huge Union force killing another 20,000 and destroying supplies. Battle report next.

For some silly reason the ANV attacked some tiny force and a fist fight ensued. Thousands of troops watched as two confederates had a duel, both of them dying. Well honestly I don't know why this happened, the ANV failed to move to Grafton in which I could of killed thousands more Union troops.

The Union resorts to Emancipation. Those fools. My diplomacy goes down to 0 while the Union's skyrockets., unfortunately. I hope I can fix that. I received a large amount of brigades, and these aren't just low-quality-mustered-brigades, these are brigades of 3,000 men each with 5 points in quality. Both of our National Will increases.

My Raiders are successful in their raids doing even further damage to the Union. Without a doubt this is causing a huge amount of problems such as Attrition.

I finished a Mint and Horse farm, always good.

Diplomacy is already increasing again, support increases for England and Europeans.

My Blockade Runners are greatly successful and grab a hgue load of Iron and Weapons. I'm sending my Runners off to get a large amount of Money and I start building a new Runner in Nashville which will be done in 4 turns. This uses up most of my current money stockpile however.

In the west my siege drags on with heavy casualties. I'm determined to keep it up however.

A small Union Division of approx 6,000 men is moving through Missouri and taking back territory. Not really something I care about, just a tad annoying.

In Kentucky Lexington is now mine. The 4th Corps of 16,000 men has occupied the city and is standing by. Unrest should be settled in 1-2 turns. I'm building my third Raider here who shall cause further damage to the Union tyrant.

However the small army of Illinois at approx 20,000-25,000 men has escaped Virgnia and is now in the vicinity of Covington. The 4th Corps should be able to defend Lexington, I just hope this army doesn't do anything troublesome.

I just remembered I forgot to post the Battle Report, here is it:

I killed another 21,000 Union Soldiers at Kenawha while only losing 7,000. The Union is losing so many men it's becoming more statistical than a tradegy. I have gained a precious Ordnance rifle for one of my Artillery brigades and more weapons and supplies are abandoned. I gain further Experience Points and my unit's disposition and qualit continue to increase.

The Union surely cannot take much more of this, they MUST be out of supplies by now. If they weren't in supply they would without doubt be destroyed.

In Virginia I'm keeping up the pursuit. I am dwindling on supplies but I can't miss out on this opportunity. As a solution I increase all my units in Virginia to Normal Supply. This has an enormous hit on my Economy, but I can take it.

I do a similar strategy as last time. The ANV comes from the nroth while the AOT coms from the south. The Union forces are now near Parkersburg so they will be getting their troops out by Rail. I have to stop this, take Parkersburg, and kill as many as possible. The ANV and AOT combined make up 150,000 troops to an approximate 140,000 Union troops. The Union troops, obviously, are in no possible condition for fighting.

Now I need to sort out the large amount of brigades I received due to Emancipation. They are scattered throughout my cities, I need to centralize them. I'm sending them all to Abingdon so I can get them organized and have them ready to reinforce units that need reinforcing. This adds up to a formidable force of 26,000 high quality men(one brigade still on the way) whom I have equipped with Richmond Rifles.

Diplomacy has been reset to 0 while the Union's skyrockets due to the Emancipation. I leave my diplomacy spending as it is to get my support back and hopefully lower the Union's. As you can see my Economy is suffering dramatically due to the priority change of my units. This is a rather large sacrifice in resources but it is essential to keep my armies moving. Most of my money should be, hopefully, replaced by the goods my Runners pick up.

I have used up most of my resources on another Runner, Raider, Weapons and upgrades using up all of my Money and Horses. However I still have plenty of labor and Iron. I'm building a Mint in Baton Rouge, two Arsenals in Charleston, and two more mints in Columbus.

That ends the turn. I have two upgrade choices. I sure have been getting a lot of constant upgrades recently!

First an engineering upgrade. I choose Fortification Techniques 3 which further helps out with sieges.

Next a Naval Upgrade. My only choice is Harbor Torpedoes which helps greatly in my defense against Port Attacks. I go ahead and choose it because the Union fleet is nearby New Orleans and if they port attack this upgrade should help me defeat them.

I set my raiders to destroy supplies and that's it.

Events 2/2

My siege calms down a little and it's going a little more steady.

As expected.. complete slaughter in Virginia. I have killed another 25,000 Union Soldiers while only losing 8,000. Battle Report next.

My raiders were unsuccessful in their raid on supplies. Too bad... it would of been devastating for the Union army no doubt.

I finished another Camp bringing up my reinforcements to 13,000 per turn. Two mints were also finished increasing my Money production.

My Diplomacy lowers for England but support lowers a lot for the USA for the Europeans.

Amazingly enough neither of my Raiders were able to pick up any gold. This gives me a petty sum of 35 gold this turn, ugh. I'm sending them off to try and get some more gold anyway.

In the West things carry on as usual. The Siege slowly progresses and the 4th Corps is waiting at Lexington. The enemy Army of Illinois has moved over to Frankfort, in defense no doubt. I am reinforcing Van Dorn and the Mephis Division with 4 of my new brigades. This effectively brings up their average Quality and increases their numbers to 43,000 strong. I send over the 6 other new brigades to join the 4th Corps bringing their average quality up to 4 and increasing their numbers by double. The 4th Corps is now at 31,000 men and is ready to attempt an attack on the enemy army at Frankfort who is at approx 30,000 men.

Meanwhile that small Union division continues to take Missouri provinces. Once I capture Cairo I'll take care of him.

Battle Report:

Once again Union forces are slaughtered. The majority of the Union Armies now remain at 100,000 men and are in a horrible condition. The army tries to break out desperately by attacking Lee at Cumberland but he fails miserably taking 11,000 casualties while I take only 4,000. Then the AOT comes up from behind and kills another 13,000 men while only losing 3,000. This is leading to the effective end of the war in detail.

As you can see more Weapons and Supplies are dropped and I manage to capture some Spencer Rifles. A large amount rating improvements and enough experience upgrade points for another upgrade. This once formidable force of 200,000 Union men has been sliced in half and is doomed to destruction.

In the east the majority of the Union forces are in a desperate state. I have squished them all into Grafton and they are almost surrounded. These forces are out of supplies, weapons, men, and most of all Morale. It is amazing they have managed to stay together and not surrender to this point.

I want to try and end this. I'm splitting up Lee's forces, one Corps of 38,000 men goes to Monongahela while the other at 31,000 men stay at Cumberland. This effectively cuts off the Union's line of retreat and completely closes off their supplies. Then the AOT will come up, push them back, and they will have no where to run without being destroyed. I'm also going to set the ANV to start a siege at Cumberland so they can capture the province.

I have set my Army's back to their default supply and my economy is booming once again.

I build a Camp, 2 Factories and 2 Arsenals in Richmond. Should be useful once they finish.

Also it seems the US fleet has moved away from New Orleans, the cowards. My Ironclad should be done in 3 months (6 turns) allowing me to attack them myself; if the war even last that long.

That ends the turn.. let's wait and see the result.

Two upgrades this turn. For Logistics I choose Sanitary Commission which should help out with Attrition, sounds very useful. Due to the Experience Upgrade I get another upgrade and I choose Espionage 1. This should increase the efficiency of my scouts therefore giving me better numbers on enemy strength.

I set my raiders to destroy more supplies, soon those Union boys will be eating each other.

Pity the war is going to end, before either of you researches gatling guns.[>:]
 
Seriously, what I think would be cool, is for you both to look at the situation after the game and take a guess as to the change in the history of America, that your vastly different war would of had.[:)]
