*Disclaimer: I know you don't use cavalry in this game like you do in Total War Games but I still have yet to figure out the best way to use them. I know there are basically two kinds of cavalry, Melee horse bros and mobile skirmisher type horse bros. However I can never seem to use them correctly. In this battle I had my cavalry equipped with carbines. Can you guys give me some feedback on how you use cavalry effectively? How not use cavalry AKA My attempt at the Union Battle River Crossing -
Hi everyone! Since everyone here has presumably some interest in the Late Unpleasantness, I thought it might be fun to try and make a thread for fun, interesting, or thought provoking questions about the Civil War! So I'm thinking this thread could be that! If you've got a question about the war or its aftermath, post away! If you've got an answer to a question, give a post! All I ask is that any responses are respectful in two ways. 1) Respectful of the person who posted the answer and/or question. 2) Respectful of academia. This one is a bit tricky, but basically I think any answer posted -
Phillipi - Victory Used previously effective tactics; I pushed Zook and company slightly NorthWest and then took a right turn in slightly East-NE direction heading toward the buildings on the outskirts of the village. A CSA brigade engaged and then charged Zook. I had Zook withdraw to avoid melee, and was able to enfilade fire on the CSA brigade with a skirmisher unit. Reinforcements come in during this initial engagement. By now Zook as withdrawn in a westerly direction to the Northern woods; I have a skirmisher unit continue to harass the CSA brigade from the flank and rear. This t

The advice on these boards is outstanding; I have employed most of the game tips given here to move forward with the Union MG campaign. Phillipi - I used what seems to be the standard strategy of forcing the northern most bridge and securing the objective in Phase I; the only deviation (in that I have not found anyone writing about it) is that instead of taking Zook and the two skirmisher units through the wooded areas, I quick marched them north to the Union reinforcement entry point and then a sharp right turn toward the open area slightly north west of the village. This allowed m

Hi guys (and girls?!), my name is Hjalfnar and I am from Germany. I recently started my first campaign with UG:CV, got positively suprised by update 0.9 and now started anew. xD Hope you guys enjoy the videos I'll be posting here and would like to get some feedback on what I am doing. As I am completely new to the game any criticism is welcome, the same goes for the video and comment quality. I am playing on normal difficulty.

This is actually a really easy battle after you've learned how to exploit it. There are several bugs that seem to happen as a result of the phase changes. And Stuart's calvary gets trapped in the corner and destroyed way too easily. But the real reason I made this thread is because I wanted to share this screenshot with the only people who will appreciate it.

Let me know what you think about deploying whole Corps in a battle.

So I've noticed that in discussions about the game, most people seem to discuss playing as the Confederacy. As a Union re-enactor and as someone who plays as Union forces about 95% of the time, I find myself reminded of Civil War re-enacting where the Confederates usually outnumber us Fake Federals, sometimes by a margin of 2:1. So I'm curious, are there more Confederate players here, or am so used to being outnumbered by Confederates that I just see it everywhere I go? ;P So the question is, who do you usually play as? Union, or Confederate? This doesn't mean all the time (we all go the

losing my Union campaign after winning at River Crossing
P-Dup posted a topic in General Discussions
After losing 1st Bull Run as the Union (as it is supposed to happen, at least historically) I won at River Crossing and instead of going to see after my boys in the camp I was greeted with dismissal. Is this WAD? Also, generally, the game seems to be pretty hard, doesn't it? (yes, I read the guide for new players, and yes I am an UG:G veteran) -
Does anybody feel like the third day scenarios are slanted towards the Confederacy? Even when playing against "Risky" AI and absolutely crushing the confederates in the first 2 days in terms of casualties (like ~24,000 to ~12,000 in my favor) I still struggle to repel the rebels on the third day. The defensive line along the stone wall doesn't seem to do much considering how monstrous the confederate artillery is. I have tried staying put and hunkering down as well as counter attacking but the sheer number of rebel guns can shred entire corps. I would have thought that after out fighting t

I'm playing UG:Gettysburg on iOS, and I'm currently stuck on the union cavalry raid. To give some context, you lead a small force of cavalry and skirmishes, and must kill 1,500 enemy troops in a fairly small amount of time, whilst having no information on the whereabouts of the said troops. Roughly an eighth of the way through, you are given roughly 200 more cavalry to aid you. Roughly three quarters of the way through the level, you are further reinforced by about 800-1000 cavalry, and 200 artillery with which you are expected to complete the assigned task. I have tried it on easy, and it ha
