PRESS THE ATTACK! (CEDAR MOUNTAIN 2.0) - Ultimate General: Civil War version .94 - CSA Campaign #14

Based on input from viewers, I've decided to revisit the battle at Cedar Mountain and press the attack toward destruction of the Union Army. My casualties rise considerably but the federals lose 20,000 men. Seems pressing the attack is the wise move.

Maj. Gen. John Pope was placed in command of the newly-constituted Army of Virginia on June 26th. Pope's orders were to defend Washington DC and Union-held northern Virginia while the Army of the Potomac under Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan battled Robert E. Lee outside of Richmond. When McClellan was defeated at the end of the Seven Days battles less than a week later, Lee turned his attention north toward Pope while McClellan regrouped his army. Pope's three army corps were arrayed in a line from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Rappahannock River. Lee responded to Pope’s dispositions by dispatching Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson with 14,000 men to Gordonsville towards the center of Pope's line. Jackson was later reinforced by Maj. Gen. A.P. Hill’s division. On August 6th, Pope marched his forces south into Culpeper County with the objective of capturing the rail junction at Gordonsville. On August 9th, Jackson and Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Banks’s Second Corps of Pope's army tangled at Cedar Mountain with the Federals gaining an early advantage. A Confederate counterattack led by Hill on the Union right repulsed the Federals and won the day. Confederate Brig. Gen. Charles Winder was killed. The battle at Cedar Mountain shifted fighting in Virginia from the Peninsula to Northern Virginia, giving Lee the strategic initiative.

There's sure a benefit to replaying battles, any battle fought ten times can have ten different outcomes. I thought this was cool, and thanks. I doubt the AI learns from replay and can't get any better, though. Tell you what, though, I'm curious how the game will handle a southern campaign win, so I'm looking to see you continue through the big ones, through to the end. I'm thinking actual southern victory was dependent on things that didn't happen in history, like Foreign intervention by, say, England or others, and the losses in the west plus the naval blockade which first limited, isolated and led to the dismemberment of the southern efforts. Lots of fun and informative, thanks and keep it up, please.

AI certainly doesn't learn from replay but the AI definitely varies tactics from one replay to the next. You can do the exact same thing and have him respond differently. Makes it interesting.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

So it seems you really have to crush the Federal units in every battle as much as you can to have an significant impact on the entire number of their army for the major battles. Thats some challenge again, especially when the Federals get compensation with better training and as it seems faster modern weapons. Guess like that you'll capture earlier (Gettysburg, Chickamauga) the first Springfields 1861, would be logic.

Thanx for your work, mate!

+The History Guy I suggest and recommend after you finish this campaign getting Empire total war's American Civil War mod or Acw for short. It's awesome, not that expensive, and a very strategic game. I think you would love the game, and if you are weary about buying it watch someone's Play through of the campaign or a battle.
