| I recall a story in one of the many war books I've read, about soldiers from Waffen SS units arriving in the west (probably from 9th & 10th SS Panzer Divisions) directly from the eastern front and being "amazed" when, around late afternoon/evening after heavy fighting that day, an unof... |

| I'm trying to complete the colourised Leader pictures for the Ozark release. I'm struggling to find a copy of a print that HPS used for their original Leader Bitmap. He appears in Ozark as Union Colonel George Hall ...but I'm certain he's a "ringer" using the photo of another, quite possib... |

| D'oh! please excuse me. My opponent has just pointed out that the "ask before advancing turn" option in the settings menu offers a perfectly adequate safeguard against the problem I mentioned. I really have been playing long enough to be aware of that one already! I stand by my observation... |

| After all these long years of gaming I just tonight suddenly realise how much of a difficult relationship I have with the in-game Toolbar. It's the buttons ...I just feel they could be bigger. I try to play with the most efficient combination of mouse & Hot-key controls that I can but clicking o... |

| I've got to say it seems very unlikely that any unit was fully equipped with a modern repeating rifle as early as April 1862, at least not as far as Regimental establishment is concerned. For a start, I don't think any of the accounts I've read mention such a unit being present and it would surely b... |

| You're telling me that the creek hexside appears on the map display as a creek (dark blue) ...but when you right-click on the adjacent hex to check it is actually a stream?! :shock: That will be a new one on me if so. I've never noticed that before in any of the HPS games. Accident ...or a deliberat... |

| I'm puzzled at the nature of the problem itself. Are you unable to gain adequate info from the map display in 2D? What view are you using for planning? I know that creeks can be unclear in 3D but I've never known of any planning and recce problem with regard to creek crossings specifically. It would... |

Add Patterson with 10,000 men to the Union Army at 1st Bull run so I can end the Civil War before it gets strated. 2. Similar to Bill, totally rearrange the Union army at Getty al... |
