Military orders: East
I am going to reorganize my forces in Richmond instead of Petersburg. It has a hospital and doesn’t border any swamp regions (+25% to disease casualties).
It is quite dangerous to have this many troops gathered in just one province, but I will split them after the reorganization is done. I also buy medical corps for three brigades, to reduce disease looses (-20% looses to disease for all brigades in the group they are attached to. Also -20% casualties taken in battle and 20% reduction to damage in sieges).
I am planning to build another army and corps, which will be sent towards Wheeling to harass the union here. But as Richmond is the only region where I can build corps and armies, it is going to take some time before they are ready for action.
In the mean time I will build a hospital in Lynchburg, as I want to retreat my A.N.V here, when the union advance to Richmond (I know I said Petersburg before, but the swamps nearby made me change my mind). Robert E. Lee is also put in charge as army commander, while T.J Jackson will be promoted to 3 stars and lead the corps.
I am also sending Magruder to Lynchburg with my worst division, where he will create a force of garrison troops. I have to spread out my forces a little, or else I will suffer terrible from disease.
I am also going to need another division for all these garrison troops. They are running dangerously low on supply while they are outside a group (+1 to supply cost).
Lorring (good tactics) and Early (great tactics) are put in charge of my fort defences in Richmond.
I actually thought I had installed the game on my external drive, so I never gave it a thought. But now I know how dumb I was
