Not for too long, damned Yankee´s. Orders sent.

Some of you guys really need to start being more strategic about things. You need to have set goals to complete each turn, not stuff as simple as "order all troops to attack". You need to try to get the enemy pushed back, and many times that is accomplished via maneuvering, not direct assault.
Just saying this as a heads up. ;)
Well, you are definetly right! But I think some maps and more details about the position of my troops and the enemy might help!
You are trapped in the backwoods of WV in an area haunted by Motheman and Chief Cornstalk. http://www.mothmanmuseum.com/Mothman...y/unusual.html
You have no food or water and everyone hates you.
You should just go away before you get hurt.
find your own maps... aren't you in the army?

Union fellow. Let me give you a tip.
All you need to do is to climb on a hill before sunrise. Position yourself, so that the sun will rise from your left. Sit there the whole day and when the sun eventually goes down on your right side, aim yourself smack right middle where the sun was at its peak and you are heading South.That´a where you find a fight.

TURN 6:
This turn, alot of **** happened, to put it bluntly. Alot of major ****. Let's start out with the Eastern theatre, shall we?
Over the past year, the Army of Virginia has shipped men secretly from their bases in Ohio to the Parkersburg Rail head in Western Virginia. From there, they discreetly marched east, through Virginia, across the Potomac, and then found Washington, D.C., defended only by 2 roughly half-strength Infantry Corps and a so-large-it's-a-Corps-esc Infantry Division. Seeing that they outnumbered the defenders by 5:2, they decide to attack Washington. Teaming up with the Western Department's positions on Arlington Heights, they bring their massive artillery advantage to bear; 200 Confederate Guns, 0 Federal Guns. The Confederate Attack Columns begin moving toward the outskirts of the city...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
With this disaster in the East, the Army of Pennsylvania is trapped out in the open, reduced not only by that encounter, but also by this battle that took place only a day previous. You see, the majority of the AoP and the Maryland Corps were gone because they were, once again, attacking Lee redoubt, in an attempt to turn the Western Department's right flank, and destroy their defensive line running southeast, along the Pawtuxet river.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
These twin disasters completely shatter the morale of the Army of Pennsylvania, and virtually the entire army deserts. In the Eastern Theatre, the only remaining threat to the Confederacy is the Army of New York.
Now, let us turn our attention to the Western theatre:
This turn, the Army of Rhode Island managed to escape through the small hole it punched through the Confederate Lines, however it proceded slowly once it escaped. This allowed the Confederate Army of Western Virginia to maneuvre quickly south to defeat it, managing to catch up with it in a small, unnamed town in the woods; However, instead of fighting, the Army of Rhode Island, which was battered by low rations, ammunition, and racked with disease(not to mention the near-shattered morale from hearing of Washington), decided to surrender.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
With the loss of this army, the only remaining Federal forces of any significance are the Armies of New York and Ohio. The Confederates are very close to their independence indeed, but they still have a long way to go...
This concludes Turn 6. Please send in orders for Turn 7 Immediately.
As for Warman and Franconicus, you are allowed to take command of either the Army of New York or the Army of Ohio, should either of you wish. PM me with your decisions, and the army you are taking, if you decide to.
I will begin updating numbers now.
damn good job lee and jackson.... i mean fisherking and kage. (in whatever order yall desire)
So Union fellows. Are you ready to sit down into negotiations table, or do we have to provide some more smackdown your way?
Ja Mata Tosainu Sama.
I don't intend on coming to any table right now.
How cam my army surrender? I always thought I was the commander, didn't I have to sign any documents or so to surrender.
Thank you, Kagemusha-san, for your generous advice. Some orientation was exactly what was missing, in deed! I am sure your tippwill help us perform better in the future!All you need to do is to climb on a hill before sunrise. Position yourself, so that the sun will rise from your left. Sit there the whole day and when the sun eventually goes down on your right side, aim yourself smack right middle where the sun was at its peak and you are heading South.That´a where you find a fight.

And how can my whole entire army just desert? Isn't it kinda unfair to not allow us to recruit since I want to fight on and me and Fran will be severly outnumbered.
For you rotten rebels!
For me and Fran to listen to;
Well, seeing as your ammo was EXTREMELY low, and as several others have pointed out, you should have taken casualties from disease after being huddled together in the cold in the wilderness for so long, and if you tried to cross the river, you would have had to leave your horses and cannons behind, as the Rebels controlled every nearby bridge and road.
Well, you've been ordering pointless and costly attacks ever since you beat the Rebs out of Washington(by a slim margin, might I add), and you never really tried to hit them where they were weak; you chopped your army up into groups and had the larger group attack heavily fortified positions just last turn, while the smaller group got nearly annihilated by Kage's army which had just arrived. At that point, Morale should have been extremely low, especially with the news of the death of the President, the fall of Washington, the complete destruction or capture of the equivalent of 3 Corps, and the deaths of thousands of men, all within a few days' time.
Nice to see another TWCer here, Fred :P
Aright, Warman wants to go on fighting - I won't let him down!!Warman has taken control of the Army of New York, so Franconicus, if you want to take control of the Army of Ohio, just let me know.
Fred, could you give me some info about my army, the strength, the units, the moral, supply, experience, position and all we know about the enemy?
And tell everybody that I will shoot every soldier or officer that even thinks about surrendering without my clear order!
This is most unnecessary, but if you force our hand to crush you, then so be it.
Ja Mata Tosainu Sama.
Well, I lost my way in the wilderness of the south. Let us see how you perform in the civilized north!
The Strength and Units are listed on page 2. I update an army's units and their strengths every turn.
Morale is so/so, supply is excellent at the moment. experience is so/so, some units have alot, some have none, but the army has done it's share of fighting against the Army of Virginia. It has been stationed in Columbus, OH for the past 2-3 turns, IIRC.
I would like to remember the honored Kagemusha-san that he may be victorious now, but he may keep in mind that Fortuna is a woman! She may change her favorites soon!
It make take a couple of days until I will be able to send my orders.
Same here.
If the confed. armies retreat from Washington and move to Richmond, we would think about giving them a ceasefire and would even think about discussing their political demands.
