The North had such great advantages in 1862 that they should have run all over the South.  Properly organized they can.  Still, it does make for a crappy gaming experience.

In the west they did sorta...even with morons like Halleck and Buell in charge.

I probably should take revenge on PDH in a PBEM game.

By making him play the game?  Harsh.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Huh, why this jaded, crabby hipster attitude on ACW2? I'm looking at the previews and the mere presence of the Battle Planner makes me drool.

Because the AGEOD games I've played have all been crap or merely average in quality.  Their ACW game was halfway decent, but nothing I'd want to buy a sequel to.

It's what the cool Languish kids do these days. It's pretty tiresome.

Well I asked directly on AGEOD forums whether cavalry raiding was fixed in CW2, and replies were not good. Seems cavalry units still raid way over what they normal range would be in real life.

It's enough for me, I pass. Seeing JEB Stuart raid as far North as Illinois was what killed suspension of disbelief for me.

Of course, it could be what Habs said.
