FOF loaded!

'Does the game have multiple win, draw, lose - Major win, major loss levels of victory or is the game won by gaining the 24 point total?'

It becomes a win or lose situation we can determine how many points to play and win, while seeing that the loser earns points for playing.

'Time to play a turn and complete an average game is the information that we most would need.'

A turn by the CSA can be done in 15 minutes or a play can micro manage it out to half an hour. With mustering troop and conscription it can take longer. As for production most players have an idea of what they want to build decided before hand by the event of the prior turn.

Some ladders have variable levels of victory designed to balance out the individual game compared to others on the same ladder.

If anyone can respond I can sharpen my pencil and crunch some numbers.

'128 turns in a single game?'

100 turns (August 1865 with the July start) is a better average but the biggest question what has been accomplished in those turns. Does the CSA still hold Richmond? So much of the game is centered on State and the National Capitol it makes the defense of the states critical to the CSA production. If a state losses its capitol, the areas stop producing. Sometime you can take out a capital with out reducing the areas of the state sometimes you have to reduce the state piece by piece.


I would really say that the Game and the Civil War are/were very Richmond centric. IF the USA can muscle its way to Richmond, work its way through the forts system and then take the city things are grim indeed for the CSA.

I have always assumed the best way to judge a mirrored game is the least number of turns it takes to capture 9 of the 11 CSA capitols including Richmond. (Assuming that no USA capitols are in CSA hands)
