I believe there were actually some historical exceptions, with generals jumping more than one "rank" in the two week timeframe of a FOF turn. Ultimately also, there was nothing actually preventing it - Lincoln promoted generals several times over many others who were higher in seniority.

The key new change is that demoting a general gives a resignation chance and that promoting a general with random stats on can slightly re-randomize the stats, reflecting the difference in ability at different rank levels.


Look at Custer, he went from what was it, Captain to Bde. General. And yes, I have books on Custer and his Wolverine Bde. but am too lazy to look in them, and of course do not remember everything.

I installed FoF on my new compooter system with SATA 2 and the 4GB of DDR2 667MHz, and the HW's move quickly, even with the smoke. I just got got my 36BG 16MB Cache Raptor today, and it is a Raptor, says so right on the HD label. It is new OEM in an unopened bag, so I don't think the fellow that sold it on Ebay actually knew what it was as I got it cheap at under $60. That's a new model Raptor with the 16MB Buffer Cache manufacured on 11DEC06. I hope it has not been dropped and works OK.

I will install FoF on this new Raptor and hold on to my hat and seat, as sometimes the HQ can migrate between both locations, the Headquarters and Hindquarters; verily a common occurrence amongst Human Beings etc. it seems.

Chris


Yes Chris!!! My, your's, our Raptor works. Noisy though.

p.s. I have a Raptor too. It works fine and it's not noisy at all.

p.p.s. Don't stop now.

It gets more interesting. The Raptor was noisy but now only a little bit, very wierd. I know it is new, and if it was dropped it wouldn't work because I dropped a HD before and it didn't work after the drop incident, so i rule out a drop incident for my new Raptor.

I was going to get a 74GB Raptor, but most of the used ones were old models with 8MB Buffers, and the new 16MB Buffered ones cost too much $$$, so I was lucky to find this new 36GB Raptor for cheap $$.cents.

What's this thread originally about anyway?? OK, I'll check. Oh, subject is ETA on the Upgrade/Patch #2.

Well, it will get here and no doubt be good, but I am changing weapons descriptions, costs, upkeeps, and ranges and damage, but that will take me some time. However, it will make the weapons and their effects more realistic. Believe me.

Well, I have to go let the neighborhood THE CAT in, as it is mewling on the front porch, and I intend watching a little documentary with that Ronald Director fellow that directed the films 'Gettysburg' and 'Gods and Generals', and also will hopefully get the third movie in the series, 'Last Full Measure', made soon, so I can't have a mewling THE CAT around when watching the Antietam documentary. If I let IT in I feed IT and IT then is quiet.

It be's that way sometimes I guess.

Have a good night/day or afternoon or whatever time it is there where you are at now or then or whenever,

Chris

I used to read books on the ACW, but that was a long time ago. Now I'm just along for the ride. The ride got a lot more interesting with the release of FoF. And the pending patch/update should make it even more enjoyable.

Give my regards to THE CAT.

It's hard to believe that you are actually serious.

(Sorry-- this will be my last post on this issue-- but I find your intellect to be dull and your head to be inflated.)

Is there a block-poster option? I can't take this any more!

Well, have it your way. I bet my intellect is superior to yours and that I know much more about the ACW than you will ever know. Plus, your 'intellect' is very dull, non-existant probably.

Yes, read most and perused the others. Now am with Bragg in the AoT for awhile. THE CAT says 'Hello.' to you, too. So does Bragg.

I dabble in quite a few games. Still like SPWAW, but my interests seem to wander at times.

As is time to play, it gets better after Mya, when I grad from college. It will be nice to have REAL free time.

Another 1d3 gets added to the date....

Honestly, I have no clue. To be perfectly honest, I'm waiting too.

I wish I had some pull to get that info, but, my Wonder-Twins powers are pretty febble these days...

I guess its like they've been telling us for a while - soon.

What 'soon' is, is up to the receptor....
