Also, most games never seem to have Confederate retard as horrible as the Union retard - both had more than their fair share.

Which is why I prefer playing with randomized stats. Though I think only Forge of Freedom ever had the stats random and hidden, so that you'd only realize a retard is commanding your Army of the Potomac after two or three battles.
That is definitely the way to go, with a few exceptions (those who had commanded large numbers of troops in the fairly recent past).  No one should have a known quantity as a corps or army commander.

Considering what happened to Pope I'd say that "retard camps" are somewhat historically accurate.  :P
Yeah, but Sigel, Banks, Butler needed to be there too...at the very least.

Hey, Butler had his good sides.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Actually, commanders should have three different sets of stats - division, corps and army command. While someone may be a brilliant division commander it's possible he sucks at the next levels.

No Greater Glory!  Now that was a fun game for its time.

The marketing team at AGEOD needs a little intelligence.  From their ACW game press-release :

"- 2 playable nations, dozens of different troops, hundreds of events, over 300 historical leaders with unique abilities"
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.

Hmmm.  I like to here more on the WWI.  I, like CdM, am very interested in some of these products.

The demo of the WWI game was a turd. And no matter how much Tamas tried to polish that turd with his posts, it remained a turd.

Does anywhere have the multi-game pack for sale that also allows a download of the game(s)?
