North and South - Hints Provided by Paul Johnson Hints: 1/. Connect two towns as soon as possible, without taxes you cannot raise extra armies. 2/. It is often easier to sit across the rail line and loot than to attack the town. The fort may beat you whereas the lines run through states without towns. 3/. If two of your states border the same enemy state when one army attacks so does the other thus doubling your attack. Where the enemy can do this to you it is worth attacking one first or retreating rather than standing. 4/. To play the game as a wargame choose the strategy option with no random events. - o -
