Okay about ready to begin

AOP Meade looks good and ready for action

AOW Grant and AOK Buell look like they will see action

the rest is duck and hide

with my illgotten gains, I build a School for the dumb and a Training Ground

and let louse the hounds of heckville

2nd battle

may of been a good Tactical Idea, but a very bad Strat, as it may end up keep my forces in Kentucky, but I spanked the CSA forces, so it may be worth it

AOP Meade wins a nice little battle in Franklin, Kentucky does not mind the big battle that was fought there and later Joins the good guys, AOW Great tries to sneak into Ark during the winter and gets its head handed to it

I hadn't thought of renaming divisions after their commanders (sorta southern style), but I like that.

Well it gives it a little more "feel" to it

also, I do not like the 1st Div, type thing, I will not remember this or that number, but I know where I got my leaders, so it lets me keep track of things my way

I got 2 new Corps now, so it is time to move them forward and re style my Army of Attack (AOP Meade)

LOL

I did it now, I can see me in a few turns, I will have the AOA Meade and the AOD Todd, and of course, there is always the AOTRAAH McCellan (just in case, the Army of the Run Away And Hide McCellan)

(now I did it)

Which the training and trains are starting to come into line, and AOK Buell is ready to join in

the 1st Ohio and the 1st and 2nd NY should be a big help, the 19th Art is a one shot wonder

the 1st and 2nd NY Corps are in place and sitting at the rail depot, picking up troops, but they are not in the plans as of yet

AOW Grant and AOI Pope are jokes so far, but the 1st Misso should help out Grant

Do the experience levels show that way or did you have to type them in?

That's just one of the display preferences, like showing strength, or weapons. You can now also show attributes and special abilties.

There are little buttons on the army screen (not on the Preferences screen) that say things like "weapons," "quality," "supply," etc.

the 1st Ill Cav Div has joined up with AOW Grant (1st Ill Cav, 1st Ohio Cav and the 1st Injaun) so they should be able to start moving next week

Looking at the casualty report from the big battle, the loosing side (CSA) didn't gain any experience.
Is this a general rule - that the losing side in a battle doesn't gain any experience?
