Hi, Thank you. Great help and advice too 👍 Cheers

Hi, As some of you may know my “army” is a tad small ! Approximately hovering round the 30,O00 mark. (This is following Fredericksburg) My question is. Does the number of replacements I receive have a bearing on my army strength. IE is the number of replacements only around the 7000 men due to the small size of my army. Would there be more replacements if army was larger. Or is the amount of replacements a fixed figure. Roughly. Appricate any answers on this. Thanks all.

VICTORY ! Despite my lack of troops. I have managed the Victory despite such a small force. The hardest victory condition to meet was not to lose more than 50%. The battle may have been won on the field. But the victory was due to my better understanding of the Barrack’s. I spent a long time there and thinking through my tactics. Feels real good ! A few cans tonight. Ok it’s Friday would do that anyway ! Thanks for all the help and support. Onwards !

Appreciate all the replies. It appears I’m not the only one concerned with games on laptops. All I know is Ultimate General runs superb on iMac. As it comes from Steam. I had hoped Naval Action would appear on Apple too. I will consider adding Windows partion to my iMac. Best wishes all.

Hi, Thanks guys. I do have a laptop (Windows). But thought would look better on the larger screen of an iMac 🖥 Will check my laptop. See if suitable. Regards to you all 👍

Impressive 👍 Will be me one day 🤞 I will get there. I think I’ll wear the AL down !

Hi, Any chance this will be available on Apple please ? Thank you

Hi, Many thanks for the advice. Appreciated. I’m using the middle level. I’m learning very quickly now just how important the time in Barracks is. Only wish I had picked that up sooner 🙃. I am not necessarily expecting to win the campaign on my first attempt. I started it to see how far (or not) I could get. I’m loving it though. UG has to be the best computer 🖥 game I’ve played. Cheers 👍

Hi, ”Got it worked out” 🤔 Not sure would go that far 😕 Will get back to you on that. Lets just say I know now more than I did 🤞 I think ! 😐 Cheers

Hi, Just to add. I’m a great believer in ‘learning from mistakes’ !

Hi, Thanks for that. Since 2nd Bull Run. I find I can easily spend 1 and a 1/2 hours in Barrack’s. Trying to get it just right. Even down to making a few minor adjustments. Still learning though. But I’m learning the hard way. It is a very important part of UG. Cheers PS. Good luck in your latest attempt 👍

Back to refight Fredericksburg ! Now I understand the tooltip. I will make a note with a minute to go of every phase. So I can keep an account of my total casualties. I know anyone who has read this thread will think what a small Army considering how far into the campaign. There is a good reason for this. I am new to UG but not war gaming. I decided to see how far I could progress ‘on my own’. Learning as I go ! I like to think I’m ok on the battlefield. However, only when playing 2nd Bull Run did I start to understand and realise the importance when in the Barrack’s. Basically I learned the hard way. In the end scraping a draw ! Perhaps it would be easier to start afresh now. But. Although it will be tight. I still believe I can edge a Victory at Fredericksburg even with my small force. Only outnumbered by just over 2-1 after all. I do know I’m able to meet the terrain victory conditions. Just need to minimise the number of casualties I take. But still inflicting heavy casualties. Simples 😕. That will hopefully enable me to progress. So onwards and upwards 🤞

Hi, Thanks for that. So the tooltip doesn’t seem to help in multiple phase games 🤔. So would seem difficult to know how total casualties are going. A total casualty/troops left tooltip would seem better when it plays a part in so many battles. I understand what your saying though. Thanks for your time.

Thanks anyway. I see on the victory conditions there are options on which locations need to be held. But ALL state lose less than 50% of your army. I am newish to UG. Started end of March. This is my first campaign. Though an experienced war gamer. Hopefully, someone seeing this will provide the answer 🤞. Cheers

Hi Thank you 👍

Hi, May I ask if this works on Apple iMac or will it be available vi Apple store as an up please. Many thanks

Hi, Thanks for reply. The way the AL worked is as you have said. I was able to carry out the battle more or less as you have said. I held ALL objectives even ‘Inflicting at least 50% more casualties than enemy’. Just doesn’t make sense to me ! Thanks for your reply. Regards

Hi all, Having just finished this battle. I obtained ALL victory conditions. I’m confused re the causality condition. It states loose Less than 50% of your army. This is were I’m confused. If you check the insert below. It states CSA 11528/17760. This is less than 50%. But it comes up as a draw as says not meant the loose less than 50%. I assume it is based on the figure as detailed. Or is it on the Army I start the battle with from the start. If so I don’t understand what 11528/17760 refers to 🤔. Would appricate your help please. Many thanks

Wow. Thanks will read and this. Brillent ! Many thanks

Hi guys, Appriciate your time and effort on this. Very good of you and a great help to me. Many thanks

Hi, Thanks for that. I think I’m becoming paranoid with the AI ! Regards

Hi, Re the AI. Just how much info does it have on my CSA please ? Is it just the number of troops. Or will it know which/how many veterans I have. Also, does it know what type of cannons I have and what my troops are armed with ? Many thanks
