| I bought it. I was disappointed with it as it was too easy to win [I didn't have the internet then and was unaware of Clubs like the ACWGC]. I also purchased Borodino after it to see if it was any better. It wasn't, but I did like how you detach skirmishers and deploy them as 'separate' units. I di... |

| Thanks for those responses on the missing scenarios. As it appears that they are generally variations on a theme with "different arrival times and locations" there are probably few, if any, truly missing scenarios. I appreciate learning how to open individual scenarios from the campaigns. ... |

| Wittenberg used to have an excellent blog 'Rantings of a Civil War Historian' (https://civilwarcavalry.com). Unfortunately, that site doesn't work properly anymore [probably due to Wittenberg's passing earlier this year]. However, after a lot of fiddling around I was finally able to access the story... |

| Perhaps try Gettysburg 078, it also utilises the BIG Gettysburg map. Alternatively, you could play the campaign (a series of linked battles) in Campaign Gettysburg (click on 'cp_start' in the Campaign Gettysburg folder). You should also know that Campaign Gettysburg includes extensive designer notes... |

| IMHO, There are enough rules built into the code and PDT files to dissuade a player from wanting to make a night attack. I don't see any reason for house rules. With that said, I will always play with whatever rules my opponents wishes to use. Especially since I usually only play one game at a time... |

| @Blake LOL, I can't be off researching the lot of them! Still, as I still have The Maps of Gettysburg next to me I can address that one. On Culp's Hill it says: Commands rang out: "Forward--guide center!" The time was approaching 7:00 p.m. From my earlier research sunset on 2 July 1863 at ... |

| On Winfrey Field - I'm just not buying what you are selling. In your own findings you point out the concentrated attempt way after sundown, for the Confederates in push the Yankee lines back, even while the Yanks attempted to withdraw. The Rebs pushed further. If I understand them correctly, under ... |

| What? Cleburne's attack through Winfrey Field at Chickamauga at night, just to name one of the attacks mentioned in the link wasn't a major night action? I must agree to disagree. Orders to advance were received at 3:30 pm and the attack started in daylight ( https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=... |

| I have always preferred not to have prohibitions against any night action for reasons of historical accuracy. It happened a good deal more than we realize in the war (see below link). Question is, does the game engine penalize the combatants enough for being involved in such things? https://civilwa... |

| I can't see the AI in the current games being upgraded to anywhere near the level of a human opponent. I think that all they can really do is tweak it here and there. Anything more would require a whole new game to be designed. Even then I doubt the AI could compete with a capable human opponent. Ev... |

| How many people use this house rule, if I may ask, and what is the rationale behind it? When I first joined the Club it was quite common for people to request that house rule. They claimed such a thing only rarely occurred in real life (except in towns and hexes surrounding a bridge). I hated it as... |

| I don't know if it's written anywhere [I'm currently away from my computer] but if you change facing or change stance (e.g. line into column) it is considered as 'movement' as it uses up some of your movement points. I'm fairly sure that firing is also considered as movement but I don't think opport... |
