    Default [ACW IH]The Blue and the Gray, Version 2(Turn 4 up, send in turn 5 orders everyone!)



    The year is 1861. Following the battle of First Manassas/Bull Run, the Northern and Southern half of the United States are at war over issues such as State vs. National legislature, and Slavery. 11 Southern States are fighting what they believe to be the 2nd American Revolution: North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia. They have declared their independence from 23 Union states, and after the first major battle, have proved their mettle in combat. There are 800,000 volunteers in the South against over 2 Million in the North, but they have yet to be organized. That is where the players come in.

    Each Player will be a General leading an army from one of the two nations. The limit for army size for the South is 90,000 men and the North's limit is 120,000 men. However this certainly does not mean that players HAVE to choose big armies; For example, Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson fought a series of successful battles against the Union and he had only a Division(less than 30,000 men) at his command(see Shenandoah Valley Campaign).

    There will be a 'Turn' system; each player will say where he wants his/her army to go in that turn and what the army is to do. I will then use maps of major roads in the area and from that I can decide if they happen to clash with enemy forces.

    The battle system is the following; say the Confederates have 10,000 men and the Union has 14,000. Each of the types of soldiers have a different fighting value from 10 to 1(10 being the worst, 1 being the best; I'll explain later). In this case the union has a value of, say, 8 and the confederates have a value of 7. To determine casualties, the number of one nation's troops is divided by the power value of the opposite side. Here is an example:

    Confederates: 10,000 men/8 = 1,250 Casualties
    Union: 14,000 men/7 = 2,000 Casualties

    Then to determine killed and wounded, the number of casualties is divided by 3. This number is the killed soldiers. Then to find wounded, we subtract the number of killed from the remaining casualties. These remaining casualties are the wounded.

    Confederates: 1,250/3 = 417 Killed, 833 Wounded
    Union: 2,000/3 = 667 Killed, 1,333 Wounded

    There is also a recruitment chart for numbers of men that can be recruited for each army per turn. Here it is for both nations.

    Confederates:
    Max of 5 Brigades per turn
    1 Brigade = 3,000 Infantry
    OR 2,000 Cavalry*
    OR 1,500 Artillerymen + 50 Guns**

    * Max of 10 Cavalry units per army
    ** Max of 2 Artillery units per army

    5 Brigades = 1 Division
    2 Divisions = 1 Corps
    2-3 Corps = 1 Army


    Union:
    Max of 5 Brigades per turn
    1 Brigade = 4,000 Infantry
    OR 2,500 Cavalry*
    OR 1,800 Artillerymen + 60 Guns**

    * Max of 10 Cavalry units per army
    ** Max of 2 Artillery units per army

    5 Brigades = 1 Division
    2 Divisions = 1 Corps
    3 Corps = 1 Army

    PLAYERS WILL HAVE TO SPECIFY WHAT NUMBER AND TYPE OF BRIGADES ARE INCLUDED IN THEIR ARMIES.

    (As you can tell, I have revamped the system quite a bit)

    I'll join in.

    Army of the West - Union - John C. Frémont - 40,100 men

    If we have to give army composition as well:

    6 Brigades of Infantry - 24,000 men
    5 Brigades of Cavalry - 12,500 men
    2 Brigades of Artillery - 3,600 men + 120 guns

    I believe Union armies are limited to 120k men

    As barry said, the limit is 120,000 men.

    Also, please specify what kind of men are in your army.

    And there aren't any vets yet it's the beginning of the war

    Okay, then, 120,000. And they are:
    80,000 Infantry
    20,000 Cavalry
    10,000 Sharpshooters (Should these just be infantry? They are snipers.)
    10,000 Artillerymen, over 2,000 cannon (5 men to a cannon)

    That seems like a pretty good composition.

    88,000 infantry (22 brigades)
    Is that right?

    Yep, that's good.

    Just one thing, 2 brigades of artillery is 120 guns not 60

    Thanks. I wouldn't have forgiven you, by the way, you failed the "is he good enough to join the people-who-beat-the-tar-out-of-people-for-minor-problems-club" test. I don't forgive you. And you just lost the game.

    So....you're mad at me for failing the troll test?

    John Bell Hood
    Army of Texas
    2 Artillery Brigades - 3000 men - 100 guns
    8 Cavalry Brigades - 16,000 men
    24 Infantry Brigades - 72,000 men

    A few things I think would be cool:
    1)Integrating terrain, strategy, etc in the number of casualties
    2)Not having NPCs, I think that will make the game more fair, and force the generals on the opposite sides to collaborate and create grand strategy.
    3)Having some more political aspects
    4)Maybe, after things are "settled", one side has won, or a peace treaty is signed and both sides are still existent, etc, the game could be opened up a bit to turn it into a wider IH outside of America.

    Just some thoughts, the last one is iffy, but I think the others would be cool.
