last hour of my play in this battle as i'm not doing the whole battle, that's for you to find out how it ends, do i get reversed or carry on to win, play it and find out, as i already know the ending and outcome, with 3 of my units routing, it won't be too soon to get the whole army into rally and hold by brigade orders for a hour or 2, they need the rest, but that will also give time for the AI to recover as well if they use it.

did i push to far too quick?

have i played well or opened the door for a massive counter attack and will loose all i have gained, only a couple of hours more played will tell, and that's you part of the story in Brother against Brother, The Drawing of the Sword

going forward is only one part of the game, knowing when to stop is another, rally and hold are game winners, where advance and attack can be game losers and men killers once your morale dips too low...

well almost the last move and roll of the dice, do i win or lose depends on the half way point being a good or bad time for you or me for that matter...

game ends, with morale and the units routing being sorted, and still holding all the fords and good ground, i have dealt the CSA a blow, but not enough to make them quit, so the next few hours could still go either way, as neither side has had it really bad as yet, so battle isn't over, just this part for me and it's basic AAR.

every unit of mine is in rally or hold mode, all unit have recovered from routing that did, my morale is rising, but same will be the for the CSA, so the fight goes on, anyone can command, but not all go on to be legends...

game test AAR ended

edited,

morale rising, fords all owned and safe atm, held in depth.

routed units recovering, need a few VH / locations for the win, times on my side, but and it's a big but, haven't seen or found all CSA units as yet, so they will be in the same state as me, so battle isn't over, or won...

that's your fight now commander[&o][&o][&o]

have fun, as i have in the best to date civil war sim / game, buy it play it, love it[;)]

Thanks! I've made some tweaks based on this, and some of your other feedback.
