First thanks for the latest patch. I have played Ultimate General occasionally and I keep coming up with the same problems, even after the patch. I have 2 main problems with UG. First, the game tells me I have had a Major Defeat when in fact I have had a Major Victory. I have crushed the enemy, destroyed most of his units, pushed him back from where he was, and having done this, the game tells me I am defeated. For instance in my latest game, I think it was the 2nd battle, I am confederates, the enemy occupied Gettysburg. To the NW I pin his units, while moving N to S, I am able to destroy his units by catching them in a 3-way cross-fire, then sweeping behind them into Gettysburg proper. In the end, he is crushed, I have taken lots of land and killed many. Result: Major Defeat. I move on. Second problem: I continue the game, on loading the next phase of the battle, I find my units are off to the left, nowhere near Gettysburg, some are NW, some are even NE of Gettysburg, I mean separated from eachother, with the enemy units in the town and they can easily move N to kill my units in the NE. Problem is that the units at the start of the 3rd phase of the battle have no relation to where I was at the end of the previous battle. Also, the cavalry are useless. I wanted to charge a unit. I am behind them, they are moving away from me, I get the cavalry to attack ... they dilly dally and do nothing. I look for a "charge" button, none to be found. To be fair, maybe I'm playing the game wrong? I'm attacking the enemy, I'm not really caring if he takes my position or what objectives I am expected to capture. But I am fighting, winning, taking territory, and just seeing that message "Major Defeat" when in fact I have won by a mile.
