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

"Look, there stands Mowery like a wooden fence.. Come on boys. Rally behind the Mississippians"

This is my favorite game you play! It's a shame the Union playthrough won't be able to be finished, but I'm excited to get started with this one! Sidenote: they should really add a feature allowing you to ask your commander for reinforcements.

Man we love anything you do on here. And we’ll always support you. This is my favorite game you play on this channel by far. I hope they can make a revolutionary war game with this style of game. It’s class 👌

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

Yeah that readiness system can be quite frustrating. I once had two supercharged divisions, 36000 men marching on Winchester only to stumble upon Jackson and his... 917 soldiers. Had to trample them but that shot down my readiness to 0, and i couldn't even walk the last 10 miles to the undefended town and its two supply depots... 😢

So happy to see that this new career mode is being turned into another series, personally i like watching the failures more then the victories because its very intresting for the story but i think that this campaign is going to be great!

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.

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

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.

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.

Very cool, I love your runs and the knowledge you share all throughout

I haven’t even watched the video yet and you get a like just for that quality thumbnail

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".

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! 🙂

really enjoy these videos. Keep em coming!

career was abit of a buggy mess and still kinda is, and they have fixed many of them. waiting for them to fix a few more bugs because i LOVE career mode.

This DLC is amazing, i spent like 10h a day playing it last week.

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.

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.

So hyped for this new series!

What would have happened had the confederates won Fairfax?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

I believe this is gonna be a real JB Hood roleplay lmao /jk

Excellent videos please keep them going

"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.

Keen to see more!!!

Love the thumbnail 👌 😅 This will be a quick war with you at the reins..

These are extremely enjoyable to watch

I've always been extremely in favor of robust and detailed difficulty options that let you tailor the game to what you want to play! Accessibility is important.

More of the American Revolution game if you get time!

Will you play the series in a grey uniform?

Very creative with the thumbnail 😂

VTH has got a Elvis haircut in this video

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

Hi i love your videos

Too bad about the Union campaign but i'm excited to watch this new campaign

That's a tough choice. An early army command or serving under the Great.

I don’t see how you turned off readiness.

Do you think the DLC is worth a buy?

Here we go..

Didn't fancy dressing up in a Confederate uniform then Chris? 😂

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

Good guys campaign

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

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.

how do u even make cores?

DC tonight 235 am

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

This game is impossible

The thumbnail lol

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 ......

i love this series
