Hi, after playing until summer of `63, I read about the Brigade attributes. (year very late)
But I can´t find the way how to buy a ballon for example. I thought under 1.6 Unit Information and detailed Controls, I would find the information, but no. Help!
U need to research ballons first before u can buy themt as an attribute.
quote:
I also read, when you buy two Cav or Art attributes the brigade is changing to one of those formations, with a new quality of just 50%. Is it still a good idea to to this? I just have about 4 Cav Brigades and only to Arty Brigades in my whole Army.
Well, the north starts with no art and no cav. Its certainly a good thing to get some fast.
Problem is they costs money just about every thing else. So if u go buy some other things u will lack money for. Again up to ur style of play.
As to advice. Depence on what scn u play IMO. If u play southern steel u should have money enough to be able to buy some fairly fast. So i wouldnt make cav and art by buying 2 attributes losing quality.
If u play the balanced scn's its a different story. Ur money supply is much more limited I'd say in this case it has some merit too it. If u do upgrade inf to cav art this way. Because of the lost quality these new brigades arent worth much. Dont expect them to do much in battles until they gain experience. So i'd in those cases, mainly convert inf to art / cav in armies that i know gona get alot of combat so they will gain experience fast and become worth some thing. Notice that art can surrender by just having a enemy unit next to it if routing. So until they gain quality use the converted brigades at a far. Having so low ql after a conversion they prone to route fast. Be sure they do fire tho, else they wont gain experince in combat.
Thats the advice i can give. I cant say i do this much my self. I tend to capture enemy art when playing US so its not a major concern for me.

When I buy a new Inf Brig, they appear with the Improvised Weapons. Can I do something that they already are produced with a weapon I attach?
No, u have to buy them new weapons as they are produced. Certainly a thing i would do. High quality brigades with high quality weapons are very good.
quote:
Last but not least. I have organised my Armys in the West, containing 2 Corps, each with 3 Divisions. It was no problem to attach the Corps numbered I to VI.
Now I`m trying since several rounds to attach Corps VII and VIII to Meade AoP Left and Butler AoP Center.
Both have just 3 Divisions, but soon I want to give them more. Well I attached 18. and 19. Division already to Meade because he conquered that Province unterneath Parkersburg and Grafton. (hm what was it`s name?)
I was trying in Maryland and also in enemy provinces like Fredericksburg. (it´s mine now) Always it looked like it was workung, but then again I see them back in Harrisburg. What´s the problem?
Im not sure i understand 100%. So might answer might be wrong. But do u have 2 corps with 3 divisions in each army = if each division is 5 brigades = 30 units. Max is 35 units for an army. So u can only attach 1 more division with 5 brigades not more corps with 3 division of 5 brigades. That would make 45 units in army and max is 35 units.
As far as units not moving to attack some times units fail their movements check. U can check this by looking in the top container that was trying to move. If will say some thing like 'Failed check to move to Arkansas River (25%)' In ur case it isnt arkansas river naturally but name of an other province.
hope it helps,
Rasmus
