Wicked.. I need to go back and change supplies used. Though I had a question.

As a Native American Division, it says that the Non-Union starting supplies does not apply to me. Which one should I use then?

The day is June 1st, 1861, and America is now in a state of war. Two sections of the Union have pitted themselves against each other, one fighting to preserve the Union, and another to leave it. Since the shelling of Fort Sumter, President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion, resulting in the secession of the upper south. With leaders on both sides acquiring arms, and mobilizing their populace, some foresee a quick victory, while others only see a long, terrible war of attrition. Which war shall this be, which nation shall we finally see?

United States of America

Theme Song

Once a nation united, the USA is now divided into two, fighting for control, or secession. Formed in the revolution, the northern section of it has developed industrially more than the southern section, and is now a major competitor in international industry. However, political differences have resulted in the secession of its southern section, which it views to be illegal. Following the shelling of Fort Sumter, it called for 75,000 volunteers, prompting the secession of more southern states. Now knowing that a war is on their hands, they wish to recover the seceding southern section.

Confederate States of America

Theme Song

Formed from the seceded southern states, the CSA was a response to the election of Abraham Lincoln, who defied the views of the south. Being a mainly agrarian nation, and comprising of 11 of the 15 slave states, the CSA relies on its exports for economic prosperity. Though the Confederacy is agriculturally strong, it lacks major industry, infrastructure, and manpower when compared to the north, giving them certain disadvantages

Utilizing a point system players may generate a corps of quality, quantity, or a mixture of the two. For example, players are given 18 points to spend. Infantry brigades (3,000 men in 3 regiments) cost 1 point, Artillery/ Horse Artillery battalions (30 guns, 400 men) cost 3 points, and Cavalry brigades (3,000 horsemen) 3. Any unit may be declared as "Elite" for an additional point. Cavalry costs so much because cavalry became organized as independent organizations and players shouldn't fall into the trap of using cavalry too much in combat. Cavalry had great strategic and operational value for scouting and harassing, but not as much tactical value. Engineering Companies may be purchased for 1 point. They can assist greatly in border & river crossings, fortifications, etc. Maximum 10 Infantry units per corps. Remember, larger forces are harder to supply.

Theaters of War
The East (East Coast States)
The Center (Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, etc. line of states)
The West (California to Mississippi)

General Civil War Army organization

Regiment - 1,000 Men of a single unit type (Infantry or Cavalry). The Basic formation used here. Regiments are the ones that were named "7th Kentucky Infantry Regiment" etc.

Brigade - 3,000 men of a single unit type (Infantry or Cavalry). Brigade's were not named by numerals or states. In the Union, brigades received numbers based on their place in the division "1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade, etc." There would be numerous "1st Brigades" in the Union because every division had its own numbering independent of the others. In the Confederacy, Brigades were named after their commanders "Kershaw's Brigade".

Division - Organization of multiple brigades, may also begin to use combined arms (i.e. Infantry and Artillery and/or Cavalry). In the Union divisions were named based on the places in the Corps on numbering "1st Division". In the Confederacy, Divisions were named after their commanders.

So to unite these -

Union
I. Corps

• 1st Division
  • 1st Brigade
    • 3rd Connecticut Infantry
    • 5th New York Infantry
    • 9th Pennsylvania
  • 2nd Brigade
  • 3rd Brigade

• 2nd Division
  • 1st Brigade
  • 2nd Brigade

Confederacy

• McLaw's Division
  • Jame's Brigade
    • 3rd Mississippi Infantry
    • 5th South Carolina Infantry
    • 9th Georgia
  • Hanfield's Brigade

To Win the War

(Image)

To win the war, each side has their own special circumstances, and their own special methods of victory. The first method of victory, which applies to both sides, is to bring the opposition to 100% war exhaustion. The capture of control points, losses in battle, raids on one's territory, the destruction of property within one's borders, and any other military action which will logically1 bring war exhaustion shall add to one's war exhaustion. However, counteracting the aforementioned shall remove some, or all (to be decided by Battlemods) of the gained war exhaustion. However, the Union will automatically gain 3% war exhaustion every single month, which must be counteracted by Union war successes, while the failure of Lincoln in the 1864 election, the acquisition of a Copperhead supermajority in both houses of Congress in 1862 2, or the success of Copperheads in creating an independent midwest 3 will also bring ruin to the Union cause. In conclusion, the Union will automatically lose in June of 1863 if they are unable to acquire military successes, making it imperative for them to invade the CSA

Some disclaimers:

1: All war exhaustion inflictions shall be decided by Battlemods
2: Success of the Copperheads will depend on the success of the Union in the war, the less successful, the higher the chance the Copperheads will win a supermajority
3: A crisis will appear sometime in game, in which the Chicago Tribune will be shut down, and if the situation isn't stopped, the Copperheads will take over the governorships of the Midwest, recall its troops, and declare independence, basically making the Union cause very hard to salvage
4: The capture of control points in the border states don't add war exhaustion points to the other side, they merely remove the war exhaustion of the party which captured it, but they are more imperative because of their manufacturing abilities
5: Some actions against the enemy will only add to their war exhaustion, while some will both add to their war exhaustion, and also remove the party's war exhaustion, but that is, per rule 1, to be decided by Battlemods.

The Battle

Battles will take place generally between two corps from each side, however given maneuvering and numbers, it could be any combination. These Corps v Corps battles will be considered "Sections" of the battle. Each "Section" will be determined by a Battle Mod. Battle Mods may be players from either side who's Corps is not part of the army engaged in the fighting. Ideally, Battle Mods will be proportional .To keep the fog of war, I believe that players should TG the first half of their battle strategies post first to a Battle Mod with how they set up their forces. The Battle Mod then tells each player what information they know about the other. How much they are told depends on terrain, IC considerations, but especially Cavalry. Then each player sends their intended strategies and contingency plans for the section of the battle. Once posts and strategies are received, players may post their setup post. Then the Battle Mod using RNGs, considerations for player's strategies, and quality of player's rp post, determines an outcome, tells it to the players who may then post their rp about how the outcome happened from their point of view. The Battle Mod then updates the situation (Considered one day of fighting IC) and players may engage again if feasible to commence another day of fighting. Battle Mods must then switch what section of a battle they are moderating.

Rules

-Be realistic to the time period, refer to rule 1 for any further elaboration
-What battlemods say happens, you can appeal their decision, but you must act according to their decisions

Example Application:

Name:Kyrian Camlin
Age:40
Birth State:Glasglow, Scotland
Description:Kyrian is best described as a man of medium build, and medium height, with short brown hair, a short beard, green eyes, and rough skin. In person, he is a man of medium temper, and low patience, but once his temper runs out, recklessness, and intense anger comes with his behavior.
Allegiance:Confederate States of America
History:Born in Glasglow, Scotland to an Irish father and a Scottish mother in a middle-class community, Kyrian grew up foreseeing a future in the military, with little talent in fields other than roughhousing with other children. When he turned 19, he joined the Royal Army, but only saw combat in the Battle of Amoy in the Opium War, which he found little use in.

Finding little purpose in the Royal Army, he left it in 1843, and soon found himself in New Hampshire, working on a large farm owned by the prominent Johnson family. His discipline from his military experience allowed him to help oversee other workers, and gained him the trust and respect of the Johnsons, and became one of their trusted confidants. The Johnsons had great power with the New Hampshire government, and were willing to use that power to help their confidant. Using the leverage, Kyrian was naturalized as a citizen, and voted Democratic for all the elections he participated in, for they were not aligned with the Know-Nothings.

In 1846, when the Mexican-American war took place, Kyrian, lingering for more military action, enlisted as a private in the Army. The Johnsons, upon hearing of his enlistment was able to give him the position of Lieutenant, allowing him to command a small detachment of troops. His previous experience granted him a strong advantage in the Mexican-American war, and his bravery in the Battle of Monterrey, in which he successfully flanked a Mexican army unit two times the size of his unit granted him the rank of Captain. It was there where he befriended Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, which also led a charge on the same day. Later in the Battle of Buena Vista, Camlin's unit was apart of a larger charge against the Mexican Army, and despite suffering relatively high casualties, pushed on. Camlin himself, upon viewing the injury and death of his men, was angered and pulled out his sword, aimed it towards the enemy, and ordered a reckless charge against the enemy. Though the charge costed his detachment even more men, it was a success, and Camlin gained the respect of both Zachary Taylor, and future Secretary of War and Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. However, no further events took place for Camlin's unit, or the Army of Occupation, making him reconsider leaving the army.

Following the war, Camlin almost resigned his commission, but was talked out of it by the Johnsons. Camlin was assigned to a frontier post, and as a cavalry officer, promoted to Lieutenant Colonel by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, fighting Native Americans and other frontier conflicts alongside J.E.B Stuart, who would later convince him to join the Confederacy. In 1861, following the secession of Virginia, J,E.B Stuart, a friend of Camlin, resigned to join the Confederacy, and Camlin knew a war was coming up. Not knowing who to side with, Camlin was torn over whether to resign and join the Confederacy, stay in the Union, or resign from the military as a whole. Camlin was never fond of slavery, but the secession of the Confederacy reminded Camlin both of Irish independence, who his grandfather fought in, and also of Scottish independence, which his mother was ardently in favor of. Camlin also opposed Lincoln, who he felt would undermine the right of the southern states to make their own decisions. With some convincing from Stuart, Camlin also resigned, and headed for Richmond alongside Stuart. Upon reaching Richmond, Camlin was greeted warmly by Jefferson Davis, but with suspicion from other Confederates, who were weary of his European upbringing, his reckless behavior in Mexico, and his affiliation with New Hampshire. Nonetheless, he was assigned command of the First Corps under Joseph E. Johnston, with the position of Lieutenant General, which he accepted instantaneously.

Not going to quote the above post, because I don't want a long-ass page.

About your ORBAT, follow the OP, don't give me brigades that are not designated as elite or not, and do not quote the OP, ever.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hmm, so can we donate supplies to help raise additional units for given commanders?

[Republic of Coldwater]

Hmm, so can we donate supplies to help raise additional units for given commanders?

You could donate supplies and arms, giving armies more of them, but raising troops is going to have to be done by the Union government, though more supplies will help raise more troops.

[Nuxipal]

Is it okay if I jsut say that at this point James has reached Fairfax?

Yus

On a similar note, I can assume I reached my destination as well?

Hmm, okay. Hit me up, union commanders, if you need some schizzle-whizzle.

I'll have to push for more forces in Congress.

Please go ahead, more orders from McDowell will come soon

I'll RP other Union corps too, till they are filled.

Trampling Out the Vintage - a Civil War RP

---

The day is June 1st, 1861, and America is now in a state of war. Two sections of the Union have pitted themselves against each other, one fighting to preserve the Union, and another to leave it. Since the shelling of Fort Sumter, President Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion, resulting in the secession of the upper south. With leaders on both sides acquiring arms, and mobilizing their populace, some foresee a quick victory, while others only see a long, terrible war of attrition. Which war shall this be, which nation shall we finally see?

United States of America

Theme Song

Once a nation united, the USA is now divided into two, fighting for control, or secession. Formed in the revolution, the northern section of it has developed industrially more than the southern section, and is now a major competitor in international industry. However, political differences have resulted in the secession of its southern section, which it views to be illegal. Following the shelling of Fort Sumter, it called for 75,000 volunteers, prompting the secession of more southern states. Now knowing that a war is on their hands, they wish to recover the seceding southern section.

Confederate States of America

Theme Song

Formed from the seceded southern states, the CSA was a response to the election of Abraham Lincoln, who defied the views of the south. Being a mainly agrarian nation, and comprising of 11 of the 15 slave states, the CSA relies on its exports for economic prosperity. Though the Confederacy is agriculturally strong, it lacks major industry, infrastructure, and manpower when compared to the north, giving them certain disadvantages

Utilizing a point system players may generate a corps of quality, quantity, or a mixture of the two. For example, players are given 18 points to spend. Infantry brigades (3,000 men in 3 regiments) cost 1 point, Artillery/ Horse Artillery battalions (30 guns, 400 men) cost 3 points, and Cavalry brigades (3,000 horsemen) 3. Any unit may be declared as "Elite" for an additional point. Cavalry costs so much because cavalry became organized as independent organizations and players shouldn't fall into the trap of using cavalry too much in combat. Cavalry had great strategic and operational value for scouting and harassing, but not as much tactical value. Engineering Companies may be purchased for 1 point. They can assist greatly in border & river crossings, fortifications, etc. Maximum 10 Infantry units per corps. Remember, larger forces are harder to supply.

Theaters of War

The Center (Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, etc. line of states)
The West (California to Mississippi)

General Civil War Army organization

Regiment - 1,000 Men of a single unit type (Infantry or Cavalry). The Basic formation used here. Regiments are the ones that were named "7th Kentucky Infantry Regiment" etc.

Brigade - 3,000 men of a single unit type (Infantry or Cavalry). Brigade's were not named by numerals or states. In the Union, brigades received numbers based on their place in the division "1st Brigade, 2nd Brigade, etc." There would be numerous "1st Brigades" in the Union because every division had its own numbering independent of the others. In the Confederacy, Brigades were named after their commanders "Kershaw's Brigade".

Division - Organization of multiple brigades, may also begin to use combined arms (i.e. Infantry and Artillery and/or Cavalry). In the Union divisions were named based on the places in the Corps on numbering "1st Division". In the Confederacy, Divisions were named after their commanders.

So to unite these -

Union
I. Corps

• 1st Division
  • 1st Brigade
    • 3rd Connecticut Infantry
    • 5th New York Infantry
    • 9th Pennsylvania
  • 2nd Brigade
  • 3rd Brigade

• 2nd Division
  • 1st Brigade
  • 2nd Brigade

Confederacy
Jame's Corps

• McLaw's Division
  • Jame's Brigade
    • 3rd Mississippi Infantry
    • 5th South Carolina Infantry
    • 9th Georgia
  • Hanfield's Brigade
  • Kershaw's Brigade

To Win the War

(Image)

To win the war, each side has their own special circumstances, and their own special methods of victory. The first method of victory, which applies to both sides, is to bring the opposition to 100% war exhaustion. The capture of control points, losses in battle, raids on one's territory, the destruction of property within one's borders, and any other military action which will logically1 bring war exhaustion shall add to one's war exhaustion. However, counteracting the aforementioned shall remove some, or all (to be decided by Battlemods) of the gained war exhaustion. However, the Union will automatically gain 3% war exhaustion every single month, which must be counteracted by Union war successes, while the failure of Lincoln in the 1864 election, the acquisition of a Copperhead supermajority in both houses of Congress in 1862 2, or the success of Copperheads in creating an independent midwest 3 will also bring ruin to the Union cause. In conclusion, the Union will automatically lose in June of 1863 if they are unable to acquire military successes, making it imperative for them to invade the CSA

Some disclaimers:

1: All war exhaustion inflictions shall be decided by Battlemods
2: Success of the Copperheads will depend on the success of the Union in the war, the less successful, the higher the chance the Copperheads will win a supermajority
3: A crisis will appear sometime in game, in which the Chicago Tribune will be shut down, and if the situation isn't stopped, the Copperheads will take over the governorships of the Midwest, recall its troops, and declare independence, basically making the Union cause very hard to salvage
4: The capture of control points in the border states don't add war exhaustion points to the other side, they merely remove the war exhaustion of the party which captured it, but they are more imperative because of their manufacturing abilities
5: Some actions against the enemy will only add to their war exhaustion, while some will both add to their war exhaustion, and also remove the party's war exhaustion, but that is, per rule 1, to be decided by Battlemods.

The Battle

Battles will take place generally between two corps from each side, however given maneuvering and numbers, it could be any combination. These Corps v Corps battles will be considered "Sections" of the battle. Each "Section" will be determined by a Battle Mod. Battle Mods may be players from either side who's Corps is not part of the army engaged in the fighting. Ideally, Battle Mods will be proportional .To keep the fog of war, I believe that players should TG the first half of their battle strategies post first to a Battle Mod with how they set up their forces. The Battle Mod then tells each player what information they know about the other. How much they are told depends on terrain, IC considerations, but especially Cavalry. Then each player sends their intended strategies and contingency plans for the section of the battle. Once posts and strategies are received, players may post their setup post. Then the Battle Mod using RNGs, considerations for player's strategies, and quality of player's rp post, determines an outcome, tells it to the players who may then post their rp about how the outcome happened from their point of view. The Battle Mod then updates the situation (Considered one day of fighting IC) and players may engage again if feasible to commence another day of fighting. Battle Mods must then switch what section of a battle they are moderating.

Rules
-Apply common sense

-Be realistic to the time period, refer to rule 1 for any further elaboration
-What battlemods say happens, you can appeal their decision, but you must act according to their decisions

Example Application:

Name:Kyrian Camlin
Age:40
Birth State:Glasglow, Scotland
Description:Kyrian is best described as a man of medium build, and medium height, with short brown hair, a short beard, green eyes, and rough skin. In person, he is a man of medium temper, and low patience, but once his temper runs out, recklessness, and intense anger comes with his behavior.
Allegiance:Confederate States of America
History:Born in Glasglow, Scotland to an Irish father and a Scottish mother in a middle-class community, Kyrian grew up foreseeing a future in the military, with little talent in fields other than roughhousing with other children. When he turned 19, he joined the Royal Army, but only saw combat in the Battle of Amoy in the Opium War, which he found little use in.

Finding little purpose in the Royal Army, he left it in 1843, and soon found himself in New Hampshire, working on a large farm owned by the prominent Johnson family. His discipline from his military experience allowed him to help oversee other workers, and gained him the trust and respect of the Johnsons, and became one of their trusted confidants. The Johnsons had great power with the New Hampshire government, and were willing to use that power to help their confidant. Using the leverage, Kyrian was naturalized as a citizen, and voted Democratic for all the elections he participated in, for they were not aligned with the Know-Nothings.

In 1846, when the Mexican-American war took place, Kyrian, lingering for more military action, enlisted as a private in the Army. The Johnsons, upon hearing of his enlistment was able to give him the position of Lieutenant, allowing him to command a small detachment of troops. His previous experience granted him a strong advantage in the Mexican-American war, and his bravery in the Battle of Monterrey, in which he successfully flanked a Mexican army unit two times the size of his unit granted him the rank of Captain. It was there where he befriended Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, which also led a charge on the same day. Later in the Battle of Buena Vista, Camlin's unit was apart of a larger charge against the Mexican Army, and despite suffering relatively high casualties, pushed on. Camlin himself, upon viewing the injury and death of his men, was angered and pulled out his sword, aimed it towards the enemy, and ordered a reckless charge against the enemy. Though the charge costed his detachment even more men, it was a success, and Camlin gained the respect of both Zachary Taylor, and future Secretary of War and Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. However, no further events took place for Camlin's unit, or the Army of Occupation, making him reconsider leaving the army.

Following the war, Camlin almost resigned his commission, but was talked out of it by the Johnsons. Camlin was assigned to a frontier post, and as a cavalry officer, promoted to Lieutenant Colonel by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, fighting Native Americans and other frontier conflicts alongside J.E.B Stuart, who would later convince him to join the Confederacy. In 1861, following the secession of Virginia, J,E.B Stuart, a friend of Camlin, resigned to join the Confederacy, and Camlin knew a war was coming up. Not knowing who to side with, Camlin was torn over whether to resign and join the Confederacy, stay in the Union, or resign from the military as a whole. Camlin was never fond of slavery, but the secession of the Confederacy reminded Camlin both of Irish independence, who his grandfather fought in, and also of Scottish independence, which his mother was ardently in favor of. Camlin also opposed Lincoln, who he felt would undermine the right of the southern states to make their own decisions. With some convincing from Stuart, Camlin also resigned, and headed for Richmond alongside Stuart. Upon reaching Richmond, Camlin was greeted warmly by Jefferson Davis, but with suspicion from other Confederates, who were weary of his European upbringing, his reckless behavior in Mexico, and his affiliation with New Hampshire. Nonetheless, he was assigned command of the First Corps under Joseph E. Johnston, with the position of Lieutenant General, which he accepted instantaneously.
