BK6583 -> Union Ocean Ship Strategy Questions (1/31/2008 2:20:36 AM)
Didn't get a response in the AGOED forum so I thought I'd try reposting it here: I'm talking about Ocean ships. It's summer 1863 and I've amassed a decent number of blockade flotillas. Is it a good strategy to use them to blockade ports like Charleston and Savanah (Hampton Roads is a given) or use them only for the Atlantic and Gulf blockade boxes? Or should I shuffle groups of four frigates in and out of bloackading Charleston and Savanah, as just two port examples? Extra question - is the 10lb Parrot the best arty unit to build as the Union to put in the field either with divisions or in augmenting corps stacks?

The close blockade will always be a better choice than the bluewater blockade if you have the ships available. It's much more effective. As for the Arty question, I'm not sure. I'd have to look at the numbers for the guns.
