Cool. I first heard that the Density Fire Modifier is multiplicative instead of additive like other modifiers. Thank you, sir. You are welcome. For posterity's sake, this information is not currently in the manuals. I confirmed it by testing. If you enable detailed fire results, you can see that a ... |

I am going strictly off impressions and not tests, but it sure does appear that a unit in entrenchments suffers just as many casualties from a flank shot as a unit not in entrenchments. That should not be correct. If a trench is supposed to protect against all sides of the hex, then it isn't doing ... |

IF breastworks, forest, towns, elevations, etc impact melee, then why wouldn't entrenchments? I'm going to be real disappointed if you tell me that they don't impact melee either but it would explain some of the 'bad' dice rolls that I've seen during melee. Neither trenches nor hex terrain affect m... |

The Civil War was essentially linear warfare. It would have been exceedingly rare for a brigade, let alone a regiment, to go wandering off on their own independent operation. I think any units in a game that get themselves isolated at any stage deserve any penalties they receive. It does seem unrea... |

The only thing that bothers me about this rule is that isolation is only checked for at the start of a turn / movement phase. It leads to unintuitive situations in which a unit can be isolated despite being in contact with friendly units and being eligible for having isolation removed. For example t... |

Ahoy. I'm in one game currently but can currently fit in another. I generally can do at least a turn a day, possibly more depending if time zones match up. Although for about a week in September there is a strong possibility that I may not be able to play any turns; thereafter play would be as norma... |

I just joined the Union side of the ACWGC but I don't mind playing the bad guys. I have Gettysburg and Overland. |
