Following the secession of eleven of the Southern States from the Union after the Election of Abraham Lincoln, the United States has been plunged into a fratricidal and bloody conflict. Now, several months later, both sides have faced victory and defeat. The Confederacy won smashing victories at Balls Bluff and Manassas Junction, but are now facing pressure following their defeat at the Battle of Mill Springs. The Union has also won a significant victory in its capture of Fort Hatteras, in a combined operation between the army and navy. Both sides have overcome initial lack of organization, and have learned many bloody lessons in the last few months. It is now that the war shall begin in earnest.

Hello, and welcome to Mr. Lincoln's War, a Civil War Tactics/Strategy RP. Players can take command of either Military Officers, or Civilians. Both Army and Corps Commanders may be applied for, as well as Businessmen, Politicians, Journalists, and Spies. Military Characters must be historical, but Corps Commanders need only to be historical generals, and not necessarily the general who held that Corps Command (i.e. one could apply for Patrick Cleburne as a Corps Commander).

Co-OP: Western Pacific Territories (US-Aligned)
Battle-Mods: Revlona (Battle-Mods needed)

Commander Information and Applications:

Players signup as corps or army commanders, aside from flavor and background, players may designate 2 "Command Skills" that help distinguish them. I request that your commanders be historical figures, although they need not hold their historical commands, as long as the changes are reasonable and do not interfere with the overall history of the conflict so far.

Command Skills:
- Offensive Doctrine (Bonus when conducting assault)
- Defensive Doctrine (Bonus when defending stationary positions)
- Gunnery School (Bonus to artillery under your command)
- Quartermaster (Armies consume Supplies and Arms at a 75% rate)
- Inspiring Presence (Units begin with higher morale)
- Cavalier (Cavalry provides better intelligence and performs better in combat)
- Veteran Officer (Slight overall improved performance) [May be earned through the RP]
- Legendary Officer (improved overall performance) [Must be earned in game]
- Fearsome Reputation (Slight decrease in enemy performance) [May be earned through RP]
- Legendary Reputation (greater reduction of enemy performance) [Must be earned in game]

Negative Traits: You may take up to 2 negative traits. Every negative trait taken unlocks an extra command skill slot, on top of the two initial positive traits.
- Poor Attacker (Disadvantaged when conducting assault)
- Couldn't Hold a Line Against the Wind (Disadvantaged when defending stationary positions)
- Failed Math (Disadvantage to artillery under your command - Must have an artillery unit under your command to take it)
- Loose with the books (Armies consume Supplies and Arms at a 125% rate)
- Hated Among the Men (Units begin with lower morale)
- Riding Backwards (Results of Cavalry actions are limited - must have cavalry under your command)
- Incompetent Subordinates (Slight overall disadvantaged performance)
- Laughable Reputation (Slight increase in enemy performance) [May be earned through RP]
- Unpopular with Superiors (-1000 Corps Campaign Supplies and Arms)

Armies should be based on their historical Orders of Battle, and their experience levels denoted, along with their approximate unit size. The levels of experience are:

Green - Has never seen combat before.
Initiated - Has faced combat at least once.
Experienced - Has faced combat in at least three engagements, and has emerged victorious in at least one of them.
Veteran - Has faced combat in at least five battles, and has emerged victorious in at least three of them.

Factions:



THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Theme Song

Under the leadership of the newly-inaugurated President Abraham Lincoln, the United States is now locked in a bitter conflict with the rebellious Southern States, in a desperate battle to preserve the Union against those who would tear her asunder. Federal troops are generally of good spirits and high morale, although many are green and yet to face the fury of combat. Union artillery is almost always highly capable, and is often capable of outgunning their Southern counterparts with ease.

THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA

Theme Song

Led by the eminent Jefferson Davis, the Seceding States have formed the Confederate States of America, intent on launching the Second American Revolution. Fighting for independence, and to defend their sacred liberty, the Southern soldiers are almost universally ferocious and high-spirited, although their equipment and artilery are usually inferior to that of the Federal Army. Southern Cavalry is also highly skilled, as many of the sons of the south have been riding horses nigh as soon as they could walk.

[Austria and Bavaria]

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 logically 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, or the success of Copperheads in creating an independent midwest 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.

*12201860

Name: Hugh Judson Kilpatrick
Age: 25
Birth State: New Jersey
Description:

Allegiance: United States of America
History:
Kilpatrick graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1861, just after the start of the war, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 1st U.S. Artillery. Within three days he was a captain in the 5th New York Infantry ("Duryée's Zouaves"). Kilpatrick was the first United States Army officer to be wounded in the Civil War, struck in the thigh by canister fire while leading a company at the Battle of Big Bethel, June 10, 1861. His connections within the War Department and his hero status as first wounded US officer led him to be promoted to command a corps in the defence of Virginia. He has garnered a reputation of being a brutal, offensive battle commander with little regard for his own men. His philosophy seems to be that his men need to fear him more than the enemy, as to drive them into their ranks. He despises careful command, opting rather to order suicidal charges with guns blazing. One of his favourite tactics is the cavalry charge, the anachronism of which has yet to sink in. His bold, aggressive strategy and tactics work well in the newspapers, though, which is half the battle won.
Command Skills:
+ Offensive Doctrine
+ Fearsome reputation
+ Cavalier
+ Gunnery school
- Hated among the men
- Loose with the books
Corps: IV Corps
Corps Starting Location: Virginia
Order of Battle:
Corps: 24.000 soldiers
- 1st Battalion: 8.000 soldiers; Green
- 2nd Battalion: 8.000 soldiers; Green
- 3rd Battalion: 8.000 soldiers; Green

A good app, although your ORBAT needs a little tinkering. The IV Corps should comprise three divisions (Couch, Casey, and Smith) and should list units down to Brigade size, along with any attached cavalry or artillery. I look forward to watching Killcavalry... well, kill cavalry.

February 1st, 1862.

"Corps" are a bit of a tricky thing in the Army of Northern Virginia right now... they don't really exist, and we are going to have to do some of our own organizing here.
