    Thanks Nick!

    Something to consider regarding artillery and supply. While true in most cases mobility efficiency was considered the walk, there were times when there was a need for a quicker yet limited means of moving guns and wagons. Those modes were Trot, and Gallop. Again for limited duration. Can we get a couple buttons and some programming to represent these additional modes?
  3. A. P. Hill
    Okay, I'll give you that!.
  4. A. P. Hill
    You of course realize that those players who don't use skirmishers, this button would be completely useless ... right?

    I wish I actually had a line for anything to wiggle through. I had a brigade at Matthew's Hill, one at the bridge and the other at the ford west of the bridge, and my battery in the trees. The Yanks showed up on the north bank and feinted a couple of times then charged the bridge. I didn't get the reinforcements that usually show up to dash to Matthew's Hill, there were no yanks anywhere near the hill ... the timer ran out and the game told me to collect my forces at Henry Hill ... but I couldn't ... because as soon as I clicked the button, my little force was completely surrounded and the yanks were all over Henry as well. Jackson however was making his way west but his units were not large enough to force out 6 brigades of Yanks all numbered close to 3k each ... I tried fighting free but said FA-Kit and quit the game. In the course of that C.F. I noticed that the additional confederate troops still do not show up on the UI the same as my unit does with a single clickable button to locate all my troops, so I would have still had to micro manage each unit individually instead of by organization. But thanks for the condolences Guys!

    Yep me too. And on my restart I haven't made it past 1st Manassas.

    Okay first initial complaint. With the latest update release, I restarted a campaign again!, everything was going great I was winning, enjoying the new aspects etc., enter 1st Manassas. I'm holding the bridge, got a brigade to Matthews Hill, waiting for the advance I knew was going to come, when suddenly I'm told to make my withdrawal to Henry Hill. Suddenly without any indication there were other union troops on the map, my starter force is immediately surrounded by enemy organizations, I've not been reenforced, they got Henry Hill .... It was a total cf. I was playing on BG level.
  9. A. P. Hill
    No clue.
  10. A. P. Hill
    I always restarted my campaign with each update. I suppose that's why I've never made it past 2nd Manassas.
  11. A. P. Hill
    Ooooo. Now you did it ... you worked up the ire of Mr. Aagaard. Run! Run for the hills!

    Of course earlier carbines like the Burnside used paper wrapped cartridges and the breech had a mechanism for removing the paper as it was closed thus exposing the powder. But the Rebels also had their fair share of brass ... compliments of the U.S. Quartermaster Supply System ... and the Rebels made sure they returned at least part of that in each engagement!

    I still think it's hogweed that union forces use Confederate weaponry. All my study and reading has never produced any sufficient evidence that the Union tossed their weapons in favor of a few captured Confederate arms. Any arms captured were usually shipped to a facility where they were either crated and stored, or dismantled and destroyed. The Union produced more than enough weaponry for their forces without needed to scavenge for Confederate leftovers. However that was never the case with the Confederacy, and many times many Union commanders accommodated the Confederates by stock piling large stores and supply dumps fairly close to the theater of operations and just enticed the Confederates to come help themselves.

    Pretty sure the command and supplies are counted as brigades. It should be corrected.
  16. A. P. Hill
    In other words, start each new day the same as the original battle day ... I can get behind that.
  17. A. P. Hill
    +3. Or is that +4?
  18. A. P. Hill
    @Beruldsen You need to take a closer look at a historical map of the fortifications surrounding Richmond / Petersburg in the civil war. like this one

    Our boy George was running against Lincoln as a Democrat ... Lincoln was still a Republican, (and the first ever Republican President since that party had just recently had a name change.) Given what happened in the South after the war with certain Democrats ... it's hard to say, but I can assure you it's likely that his being elected could have set any progress made in 4 years plus of Lincoln's government would be in serious jeopardy.

    Several types of head wounds are survivable ... What I found wholly interesting in that was that the ball was eventually pushed back out of the brain / skull by the healing process ..

    Why do people insist on saying this. This is outright not knowing your topic. By late 1861 early 1862 both sides, had established their military quartermasters departments which came complete with entire published and enforced regulations on uniform design and colors. The Union side chose a dark blue jacket with sky blue trousers, and the Confederates chose cadet gray. However, thanks to the lack of materials or the varieties of materials available, the Confederates ended up with a variety of shades of gray/homespun/brown/tan/etc., many received clothing from home for a mixture. And while at the beginning of the war, the USSS (United States Sharp Shooters) who were equipped in green, they eventually traded those in for the government issue of dark blue and sky blue, they personally removed the brass buttons and used wood or other non reflective materials. As soon as all the militia, (where you get the different uniforms,) were accepted into the volunteer ranks, they were immediately outfitted with the standard military uniform from their respective sides. Standardizing on uniforms managed costs and a general uniformity in the ranks. Elaborate militia uniforms were far too expensive to maintain and re-equip, they were banished from both sides military services.

    Yep, Springfield was definitely still in the arms industry during WW2.
  23. A. P. Hill
    During the ACW, while militia started, they were all eventuality converted into the Provisional volunteer militaries and released their militia organizations. After the war they went back to militia organizations.

    Yep, it's the gap between and difference in elevation that make them big and little, they're separate peaks.
  25. A. P. Hill
    No guesses on my effort, and absolutely no use of hints. I've been studying the ACW for over 50 years. Every answer came from knowing the subject. As you said, the questions were dsigned. If they weren't it wouldn't have been a true quiz.
