Forge of Freedom - SDN style...

[weemadando]

Man, my stats blow. That said, I could still turn out to be sorta worthwhile.

Shep! UPDATES!

[Setzer]

Do they have any naval action? I'd love my own fleet.

[MKSheppard]

No naval action, though their Napoleonic game now has naval action.

A new patch has come out, invalidating saves; but it adds 10~ new special abilities:

26 Thrifty (Attacks use only 1 point of supply, infantry and artillery only)
27 Stalwart (While unit is Fresh it takes only 1/10th normal morale loss from fire attacks, infantry and cavalry only)
28 Rangers (Reduces cost to enter a hex by 1 if the terrain cost is 3 or more, infantry only)
29 Cautious (Reduces damage this unit takes and causes in fire combat by 25%, infantry and artillery only)
30 Aggressive (Increases damage this unit takes and causes in fire combat by 25%, infantry and artillery only)
31 Tenacious (When in a pin-position with another unit, both units are automatically pinned, infantry only)
32 Hill Defenders (retains good morale defending a hill, infantry only)
33 Uphill Charger (what it sounds like, infantry only)
34 Efficient Fire (artillery can take an extra shot, like dragoon tactics)
35 Anti-Battery (artillery harms other artillery)

And I've been inspired by Starglider's LP of Empire at War; to simply play things like an insane lunatic and not think things through.

I'll put my hand up again. The South must burn. Each field, house, town and city. Goddamn rednecks.

Does that fit with your play style? Or will it be "lol! Tech up to Gatling and rush Atlanta!"

[Civil War Man]

I think we are all aware that we can't have a Civil War without Civil War Man.

And I don't see why we can't combine the strategies. Tech up to Gatling, then burn.

[The Yosemite Bear]

I'll comeback, afterall we need some crazy Jewish wilderness type.

[darthkommandant]

Ill take a spot if it is available.

[White Haven]

General Arnold T. Pants, Union-loyalist Virginian officer, reporting for duty sah!

[Steve]

Stephen T. Garrett Jr., of Florida (my birthplace) or Maryland (Dad's family's birthplace), at the service of God and Country to suppress the Southern Rebellion in the Union Army, present!

[Questor]

General Jason L. Miles, reporting for duty for the Union from California!

[The Yosemite Bear]

Well hell I'm a California Mountain Man myself...

I guess my parents must have come over to make money off the miners sir....

Knowing my family history, the contemporary members of my family likely to be in California for anything other than Army/Navy service, would be there for the same reason.

Except the miners wouldn't have been giving up their money willingly.

[The Yosemite Bear]

just no donner pass jokes.

actually since most of my family happen to be mechanics, and I'm a former IT, I could see me in this game being a Blacksmith/gunsmith/mountain tracker....
