My Career Begins - Grand Tactician: the Civil War - CSA Career 1

As a Devonian, I can't say I hold with you choosing the Cornish flag as your battle flag, but I do look forward to the series nonetheless.

Do you think the DLC is worth a buy?

I’m waiting for the new update will definitely be able to do more, with training building of units.

Great video. I saw that all the commands had your battle Flag. The updates seemed to have made it so much nicer to play. I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

Here we go..

I was reading about Longstreet's Gettysburg Artillery barrage and by sheer numbers it was massive, the guy did everything for Pickett's charge to have lesser recoil, it was a colossal mistake in the hindsight

Finally bought the dlc three weeks ago and it was still terrible and unplayable. The ai is miserably bad and there were so many bugs affecting my troops it was almost unplayable.

The south will rise again

General VTH still being a sus teetotaler who uses alcohol to lubricate others.

I kike shutting the unit icons off on the battlefield. Looks prettier.

Pumped for the new Confederate playthrough! Off to a great start.

More of the American Revolution game if you get time!

These are extremely enjoyable to watch

DC tonight 235 am

Very creative with the thumbnail 😂

Good guys campaign

They just posted patch 1.13 is coming out sometime in the next week (end Nov/early Dec)-- hope it doesn't break your save! (see dev post in steam discussions for the fixes)

how do u even make cores?

"Not sure why this unit here has my flag." Well, that is because it is standing near one of the corners of the geographical ara objective you have been given, which is denoted at that zoom level with those corner flags in addition to the colored area.

Glad to see playing GTCW again. Sorry, it's rebell scum!

Army of Northern VA right off the bat. I’m here for it.

I am happy to say I bought Grand Tactician The Civil War thanks to watching Chris doing it & showing it.. now I only need to buy Whiskey & Lemon Dlc for christmas then ^^ Though on Hard dif as the US in 1862 camp, had Grants old "Army or Corp Command" given to Sherman, and Promoted Grant to Hallick's old Command, now I had huge Major Vic over the Southerns in Tennesse they lost 9k in loss, mine were okay but Sherman got WIA & few others too..They came in from two sides..wasnt easy to mirco to pronged attacks though by the Cornfeds.

I don’t see how you turned off readiness.

I get a Mosby vibe from the thumbnail pic. Forward for our homes and liberty. Onward to victory!

Readiness isnt the biggest issue, its the replenishmet of the troops. Youll have to sit and wait anyways waiting troops to refit and youll get rediness same time. Im fighting as union at -64 and my army is roughly 40-50% of its max troops.

I like the idea of the readiness system it's realistic but at the same time the game takes it too far. In my experience once you get to divisional command you can fight 1 maybe 2 major battles a year and the rest is just sitting around waiting for your readiness to go back up so you can move again. It does make the game very frustrating in this career mode since you are limited to only your command so theres a lot of sitting around and doing nothing while the AI fights itself. They really need to go through and adjust the settings to better fit this style of gameplay instead of the normal campaign because it just doesn't work very well right now and leads to boredom very quickly. The other major issue I've seen is individual regiments getting their perks. It's basically busted right now and almost impossible to get any before the career campaign is over. Why can I get my regiments up to 5 star "crack" troops according to the game yet none of them are due any perks yet. It makes no sense and really needs to be adjusted.

Keen to see more!!!

Excellent videos please keep them going

This game is impossible

Great start to the campaign! It looks like you have learned some new tricks and are being less aggressive during the battles (to your benefit). I look forward to watching the rest of this series. Happy holidays! 🙂

You can turn off that the units move on their own (for example pulling back) by disabling "own initative" in the same menu as "rally".

Thank you very much for the really interesting videos about this game. Unfortunately my English isn't the best, but I'll use your explanation to improve it

First time watching a playthrough of this game. Hopefully you'll get the federals next time

I bought this day 1 The Ai killed it for me played 6 hrs not for me .. lets see .

Kentucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was a Southern State.

I wish I had a good computer to get this game I got it in a old computer but it was unplayable with the lag and how old it was

What would have happened had the confederates won Fairfax?

Longstreet did everything for Pickett's charge to have lesser recoil, but ended up shooting himself in the foot instead! 😂

Is this game still unplayable? It looks fantastic but the reviews are always the same . Keep waiting until ......

The Battle of Fairfax, Virginia was the first major battle between Union Forces and the Confederacy after the taking of Fort Sumter. The first day of the battle was inconclusive but edging towards a union victory as they had routed the Confederacy over the small river in the area. The second day saw the Confederacy make gains back and beat the union back to their positions they had on the 1st day. The stand out commander was most certainly Lt. Col Mowery, a West Point graduate from Kentucky from a wealthy family of horse farmers who took command of the 18th Mississippi in the first days of the war who one the first day of the battle also took command of the 7th Louisiana from Harry Hayes who with these two brigades he held the left flank but at the end of the 2nd day saw the Union forces route the Confederacy after Lt. Col Mowery brigades broke. Had the Confederacy better supported their lines and kept Lt. Col Mowery better supported we may have seen Confederate forces march to the border of Maryland.

Dang it Chris you got me addicted to this game watching your playthroughs. Got it on Steam Sale and i cant put it down now.

This is game play with the DLC right? Just now buying the base game, but this does look pretty dang nice.

Glory hallelujah, I always like strategy games but hate when I start to control more units than I can micro effectively, eg im a better brigade commander over division. This is the exact game I’ve been wanting for years! Tepid warm on the fact that it’s civil war themed, would have loved ww2 but still I will be getting this on my next paycheque

I'm intrigued, everyone thought it was perfectly normal, suddenly 22k of prestige appeared for a companion? i've had to grind tons of battles for 1k prestige. But yeah, maybe as intended. lol

Scourge Of War - Gettysburg is on steam but over 40 dollars thats crazy...but its a great civilw ar games just old hihi

Happy I found you site. Love your type of games and content. Keep it up!

i am playing this game ... love it ...

Not a big fan of this vlogger, but I wanted to see this gameplay...

The brittleness of early war units is aggravating but also makes these battles interesting. You can design a perfect maneuver scheme but getting yr troops to execute is challenging...

Grand Tactician should receive a lilttle more love its already veery good in many ways , but ai and morale loss in files needs strong work
