ACWGC UNION ARMY HEADQUARTERS FORUM

Greetings my Fellow Warriors!
The drinks are on me! Belly up and grab a growler!
After some weeks of getting my butt kicked, it seems I finally turned the corner and won my first battle, since rejoining the ranks

At turn 37 the Victory Dialogue showed: Rebel Minor Defeat
Union Losses:13197 Infantry, 3360 Cavalry, 97 Artillery and 69 Supply.
Rebel Losses: 18089 Infantry, 3867 Cavalry, 122 Artillery and 926 Supply
The Points ended up: -268. Since this scenario was "The Rebs in Gettysburg" he was still holding 4000 objective points.

I played the turn he sent back and pushed my achievement to a "Rebel Major Defeat", but am guessing that it won't count.

BG James Edwards notified my on May 17 that he was done and putting in the Bid. Could someone explain how that works? I can't remember this from my previous active years. Will I receive some official notice of my victory?

The second round is on me boys, I am feeling...pleased. After such a long absence I wondered if I could remember any useful tactics and was very relieved when opportunities arose and I did not hesitate or fire wires to Washington begging for advice.

The third round, (bar tender...do you take gold with Queen Victoria's sweet face on it?) is on me too!

Cheers!

The termination bid is usually used when one player has lost and doesn't want to play out the remaining turns. It allows one to concede and give the opponent a victory result straight away. Without it, in a campaign game, you'd have to play out the scenario to the end to register the result and move on to the next stage of the campaign. But it can be used whenever both players decide on any mutually agreed result and want to end the scenario. For instance you might both agree that the only likely outcome is a draw if neither player wants to engage, and so the termination bid allows them to expedite the ending of the scenario without the tedious requirement to play out the turns.

One player can submit a termination bid at any time, and it is up to the other player to decide if he wants to accept the bid. Sometimes, in a campaign scenario, one player may be taking a beating and may decide to submit a termination bid for a major defeat, in the hope of moving on to the next scenario without taking any more losses, thus depriving his opponent of an advantage in the subsequent scenario that he has rightly earned. In this case the other player may decide not to accept the termination bid and carry on until he has gained all he can from the scenario, or until he feels that he doesn't want to make his opponent suffer any longer.

Sir;
Do I understand you correctly: I can decline the termination bid, if I am confident in bettering the score in my favour? How do I proceed? Do I notify my opponent that I wish to continue more turns? If so, just a single following turn improved my outcome to a "Major Rebel Defeat".

Greg: An official termination bid is placed by a player by going to "Modes" (next to settings) and place their bid. After their turn they send to you and you can accept or decline, also in the "Modes" dialog. If you accept, both players will be able to view all troops on the field (both sides). That's the official termination. You can also just surrender or make statement to your opponent of your intentions. If both agree just end the game.

In my experance Termination Bids are only used by Union officers, so sorry I cannot help

Cam I believe you should buy the AotC Army drinks after that laughable declaration.

Ok fair enough, $100 in gold is on the bar

Well, "belly up" guys! Cam put up "real gold" instead of the useless Rebel currency!

I bit into his gold piece and it tasted like mint chocolate - but if the bar tender is taking it then fill my glass.
