Note: Due to space constraints, I plan to include the first posts of various AARs from the Matrix Games forums and then provide a link to the rest of the story.

This thread will demonstrate how *not* to play Forge of Freedom! I plunged into the Advanced Game after reading the epic Gil/jchastain AAR and skimming the manual. Don’t get me wrong, the manual for FoF is terrific, but when I first got the game I was anxious to fire it up, and so I just played. Now I’m reading the manual and realizing all the mistakes I made.
Anyway, I have the Union, the AI has the CSA, and I’m playing the Advanced Game with most of the defaults enabled, including CSA Emancipation. I started by following jchastain’s advice on Kentucky: move troops out to improve one’s chance of Kentucky joining your side.
