LGWI - Civil War Generals II 025 (The End...?)

After absolutely annihilating my opponent four times in two in-game years, I'm ready to take Richmond and put an end to this war... and they must be ready for that too, right?

Right???

Historical recap: The Battle of Seven Pines took place in Virginia on May 31 and June 1, 1862. Estimates suggest 34,000 Union and 39,000 Confederate soldiers fought at Seven Pines with 5,031 Union and 6,134 Confederate casualties. While tactically inconclusive, Union General George B. McClellan lost the initiative and the Peninsula Campaign to take Richmond failed.

For viewer convenience, I've tallied some numbers from the campaign thus far and combined them into one list.

all i can ask is:

HOW BIG IS THE FUKING CONFED ARMY!!!!????

[GrimithR]

@titytit The lack of extensive record keeping disallows a historian from making more than educated guess. At most, from 1861 to 1865, 1.25 million men served in the Confederate Army. I imagine those numbers would be different both because of my actions and because we're only in 1862, but I don't think I've captured everyone.

Not yet.

@GrimithR the reason it said end campaign is because if you were the Confederates and the Union had won a major victory at Seven Pines then the game would have ended (with you losing)

[GrimithR]

@976Wally Hrm. I had suspected I hadn't inflicted enough damage in the grand campaign to award the Union with overall victory. If you are correct, then... well, that's simply not fair. If the player can lose the entire campaign via a Union Major Victory at Seven Pines, then the player should be able to win with a Union Major Victory at Seven Pines.

Then again, life's not fair, and neither are video games.

@GrimithR

No, videos games are logically evil, but still fair. If you have ever played Animal Crossing, you would rage how completely insane it can drive you over the little things. Please note, DON'T LP IT. YOU WILL GO INSANE. (Also it has no ending)

[GrimithR]

@TheDraconicEpic I've played Animal Crossing.

[MrSentia]

@Kirukunn In a good way right *_+

[Kirukunn]

Wow, your crazy

[RedstoneFTW]

@GrimithR just an idea but maybe you have to kill the generals/ major generals and the there is no one good to lead. just a thought.
