    This is my favorite game you play! It's a shame the Union playthrough won't be able to be finished, but I'm excited to get started with this one!
    Sidenote: they should really add a feature allowing you to ask your commander for reinforcements.

    Yeah that readiness system can be quite frustrating. I once had two supercharged divisions, 36000 men marching on Winchester only to stumble upon Jackson and his... 917 soldiers. Had to trample them but that shot down my readiness to 0, and i couldn't even walk the last 10 miles to the undefended town and its two supply depots... 😢

    I am happy to say I bought Grand Tactician The Civil War thanks to watching Chris doing it & showing it.. now I only need to buy Whiskey & Lemon Dlc for christmas then ^^ Though on Hard dif as the US in 1862 camp, had Grants old "Army or Corp Command" given to Sherman, and Promoted Grant to Hallick's old Command, now I had huge Major Vic over the Southerns in Tennesse they lost 9k in loss, mine were okay but Sherman got WIA & few others too..They came in from two sides..wasnt easy to mirco to pronged attacks though by the Cornfeds.

    Glory hallelujah, I always like strategy games but hate when I start to control more units than I can micro effectively, eg im a better brigade commander over division. This is the exact game I’ve been wanting for years! Tepid warm on the fact that it’s civil war themed, would have loved ww2 but still I will be getting this on my next paycheque

    The Battle of Fairfax, Virginia was the first major battle between Union Forces and the Confederacy after the taking of Fort Sumter. The first day of the battle was inconclusive but edging towards a union victory as they had routed the Confederacy over the small river in the area. The second day saw the Confederacy make gains back and beat the union back to their positions they had on the 1st day. The stand out commander was most certainly Lt. Col Mowery, a West Point graduate from Kentucky from a wealthy family of horse farmers who took command of the 18th Mississippi in the first days of the war who one the first day of the battle also took command of the 7th Louisiana from Harry Hayes who with these two brigades he held the left flank but at the end of the 2nd day saw the Union forces route the Confederacy after Lt. Col Mowery brigades broke. Had the Confederacy better supported their lines and kept Lt. Col Mowery better supported we may have seen Confederate forces march to the border of Maryland.

    @darkguild69 8 місяців тому +2

    I like the idea of the readiness system it's realistic but at the same time the game takes it too far. In my experience once you get to divisional command you can fight 1 maybe 2 major battles a year and the rest is just sitting around waiting for your readiness to go back up so you can move again. It does make the game very frustrating in this career mode since you are limited to only your command so theres a lot of sitting around and doing nothing while the AI fights itself. They really need to go through and adjust the settings to better fit this style of gameplay instead of the normal campaign because it just doesn't work very well right now and leads to boredom very quickly. The other major issue I've seen is individual regiments getting their perks. It's basically busted right now and almost impossible to get any before the career campaign is over. Why can I get my regiments up to 5 star "crack" troops according to the game yet none of them are due any perks yet. It makes no sense and really needs to be adjusted.

    Readiness isnt the biggest issue, its the replenishmet of the troops. Youll have to sit and wait anyways waiting troops to refit and youll get rediness same time. Im fighting as union at -64 and my army is roughly 40-50% of its max troops.
