AAR: Save the Union

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]I gain some really nice guns from fleeing confederates.   At the same time I gain another 15 point toward Experience upgrades while he gets none.[/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]I’m sending my fleet down south to try to find his fleet.  It somehow has seemed to disappear on me.  Let’s see if I can finish his fleet off.[/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]It’s strangely empty in the East.  My brigades I mustered several turns ago have finally come together in a new corps along with a artillery piece totaling 30,000 men.  If I can get them to the AoP it will offset all the men I have lost so far this year and hopefully restore the balance of power.  [/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]Here’s a shot of how the AoP splintered after the defeat, I’ll try to regroup them and make my stand in Kentucky.  This turn over, hopefully next turn will be nicer to me.[/font]

[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Although it shows him winning 4 battles this is deceiving.  All four of those battles were against the army coming up from Florida.  I’m hoping this will buy me time to launch a major counterattack with my AoP and the Army of Kentucky against his army in Tennessee which this turn came up into Bowling Green.  [/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]I complete 2 mints, a horse farm, and a war college.  I’m got my technology buildings going hopefully I’m pulling ahead in the technology war.  [/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Rhode Island gets hit with another Disease, bad luck them.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]And he finally got a point of support from England, I’m going to increase spending form them to try and keep him at 0.  [/font]

[font="times new roman"]2ed screen.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]I guess its not too bad.  I dint lose any good weapons and he did not gain any experience upgrade points and it did draw some of his western army eastward.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"][/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]The Counter Attack.  I’m guessing he’s gona try and move this army back into Tennessee as he has done in past turns.  Hopefully I can catch him with one of my armies and the other will join the battle as reinforcements. [/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"][/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]This is the army that got its butt kicked in the battles this turn.  I can only hope some of it makes it back north.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"][/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]And my 30,000 man corps moves into Virginia hoping to draw some of his forces away from my armies in the west.  Half of the battalions in this corps are armed with Spencer repeating rifles and I plan on upgrading the artillery piece in the corps to whatever the biggest more expensive one is next turn.  I’m counting on them being able to hold back larger confederate forces.[/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]These are the upgrades so far for both sides.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"][/font]

[Shoot Me_I Explode]

[font="times new roman"]And finally I end my turn with an upgrade.  Most of the choices I was given seem they are meant for detail combat mode.  I’ll have to look and see if they are taken into account by the computer for instant battles.  But I chose Indian training to give me some better quality Indian troops.[/font]

Your aar got me into this war, he made me stay but the gripping account of the brave men, on the doomed passage back from Florida, has won me back to your side.[8D]

[font="times new roman"]It seems that army fleeing back from Florida won a battle, what are the odds.  It is however a hollow victory for as of now they have dropped below 2,000 men.  More buildings are coming online including another camp.  I’m going to have to continue building camps since I’ve seen he got the Invalid Corps upgrade, rats.  [/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Somehow we both lost 1 man in a small battle in the Appalachian area.  I dare anyone to post a picture of a smaller battle.    [/font]
