The Union - August 1862
Baltimore re-occupied and two Rebel Infantry Regiments west of Bowling Green destroyed.
Nothing special
Wenn du tot bist, dann weißt du nicht, dass du tot bist, es ist nur schwer für die anderen. Genau so ist es, wenn du blöd bist.
who is winning here?
Its hard to say for sure. Both sides have had some major successes. Ultimately the North has to take the war to the South and capture a large number of its key cities to win while the South can win by preventing this from happening, or by capturing on or two key Northern cities. Although the North has an edge in industrial output it will need to sacrifice more men in the offensive so the game is more balanced than it may first appear. My current assessment is a draw, but I hope I can change that!
The Union - September 1862
The Army of Missouri stands by for an attack up the Mississippi by Rebel Riverine forces. We are treating the withdrawal of the troops near Cairo as a distraction!
Fort Henry destroyed!
A huge fleet of River Ironclads moved up the Mississippi River and finally destroyed the river fort near Cairo. The giant cannons sunk 5 confederate Ironclads.
Then the river was free and CSA forces attacked Cairo and destroyed 3 Infantry regiments, but there are still units inside, so they withdrawed.
On Cumberland River a union river transport was sunk.
West of Chattanooga 4 infantry were destroyed.
4 pillaging units around Norfork destroyed plus the transport which brought them on land.
Near Harper´s Ferry 2 pillaging units destroyed.
It seems that the Union changed their tactic.

The Union - October 1862
The Army of Illinois crosses the Mississippi at Cairo and begins its advance south. One Tennessee State Militia regiment destroyed. The Confederate Corps north-west of Bowling Green makes an astute move forcing a reaction from the Army of Tennessee. A battle is expected.
There is at least one active unit. Is this the right save?

Please just press space to end that units movement and then hit return, and no peaking
I saw the 2 ships but I didn´t use this information.
Heavy fights all over the States.
Near Bowling Green the eastern stack destroyed - 2 Infantry lost
Cairo conquered. 5 units + 3 transport destroyed - 1 Infantry lost
Near Mobile 2 Infantrie, 1 transport destroyed - 1 Infantry lost
Near Columbus 1 Artilerie, 3 Infantry, 2 Militia destroyed - 1 heavy Art., 1 General, 1 Infantry lost
Annapolis taken
Cumberland easy taken
2 Militia disbanded after pillaging east of Mississippi

I will play this turn after work tomorrow. A Union victory is looking more unlikely each turn. Your spoiling tactics have really screwed up my grand plan
There is still time though.
The Union - November 1862
One Tennessee State Militia destroyed in the pass south-east of Charleston, West Virginia. The battle with the isolated Confederate units north-west of Bowling Green looks set to continue as Union reinforcements arrive. Union forces from all over the Mid West rush to get in position to isolate the Cairo bridgehead, only to find the Rebels have cut their own line of advance. Encouraged by this show of weakness General Rosecrans is ordered to continue his advance into western Tennessee. General Grant continues to push on through the mountains of eastern Tennessee. Seeing the danger in Pennsylvania General McClellan orders reinforcements to the Cumberland area.
To road to Cairo was cut to protect the wounded units. Is this a sign of weakness? We´ll see
The confed. scouts detected a stack of 14 units between NAshville and Chatanooga a round before.
An Army, lead by Gen. A.S. Johnston and Gen. Bragg waited to welcome them. 2 Artillerie, 8 Infantry and 4 Generals were killed without a lost and surprisely without getting a unit veteran.
Gneral Lee himself wasa in charge to destroy the units near Charleston W.V.
The isolated stack east of Mississippi will be welcomed, but they have a long way to go. Some Militia did suicide after pillaging the roads.
Now, the defense is reorganized and we are thinking about the offense...

The Union - December 1862
Some of the Northern press are now openly stating that the war is un-winnable and that President Lincoln should bring an end to the senseless bloodshed and accept the Confederates Succession from the Union. Lincoln, badly shaken from the recent setbacks, vows to fight on. "The Rebs may have won the battle, but we shall win the war!". Lincoln accepts that mistakes have been made. Lessons will be learned! General Ulysses S. Grant is appointed supreme commander of the Armies of the Union.
1 Infantry near Chattanooga destroyed, 2 near Charleston W.V.
