Inaugural FoF AAR - Union side

[cillmhor]

Late January 1862:

The winter months have meant that I haven't been able to do much movement. I'm trying to do some reorganization of my generals and troops. And I've trained a division of cavaly now, although since I used the double attribute trick to form them, they are very low quality.

Out west Peter has clevely sneaked a small Corps of men into Missouri and captured the state capital turning the state confederate. I'm moving the Army of the West north to counter them, but winter is making it real tough to do that.

I've put 3 more ships into production and I've taken the Blockade Operations upgrade when my naval research gave me a chance. This makes it 50% more likely I'll catch a blockade runner, although I've had a real tough time catching any so far. I don't think I have enough ships in my fleets yet.

I continue to keep the European support of the CSA low by spending there. My next aim is to swing European opinion in the Union's favour. Not sure what happens there, but I think support in goods will drop.

That's if for now. Consolidation is the name of the game at the moment, and keeping my troops near or in cities to fight off the worse effects of winter attrition.

Disease hit the Army of the Potomac again and I took fairly heavy losses depsite my building of hospitals and medical attributes I gave a number of units.
