| Suggestion: please add into the Credits the programmer name who did the enhancements to the game. Surprised to not see his name listed. |

| Colonel Peters, You don't mention whether you are referring to the full Campaign or one of the scenarios. A number of scenarios have problems. Which side depends on the scenario. This is natural because most of these battles were decided by the maneuvering that took place before the engagement. How... |

SMH here .. he said dont reply here directly! LOL
Or am I the only one that reads these threads 
I played a 3x3 game of one of the big Antietam scenarios (not the Battle of Antietam) and from what I remembered it was fun. I dont think we finished but the playing we got in was fun.
Enjoy guys |

| Bridge repair is pretty straightforward and hazardous in the face of artillery fire. Yes, the Union can definitely rebuild bridges. They just have to do it either when no CSA artillery/infantry is around or at night. Being in column in full sight of the enemy means a lot of losses. Maybe I am wrong ... |

As a player of many games and scenarios I see that all the CSA has to do is build Trenches at the key crossing points and there is no way that the Union exits the map to get a victory. With only one exit hex in the south its just a matter of delaying... |

| Yes, John merged the Extreme Fog of War with the Fog of War effect. If Fog of War is enabled then you get the entire package. Being able to see the percentage of a reinforcement group arriving sort of takes the fun out of it but perhaps some would like that option. Reinstating it would be a nice opt... |
