| Since you both were able to play one turn I would say it's probably not a problem with any of the games files. Also I have not heard any reports of problems with scenarios in Antietam. Do you both have the same version ? Current version is 3.0. If it doesn't report a problem with his password then I... |

| I see two of my favorite ACW boardgames, IMO VG's "The Civil War" was the best strategic level ACW ever produced. For many years my friend and I spent the Friday after Thanksgiving playing it while the wives were shopping with their mothers. We'd play all day and usually got far enough tha... |

| The only games I see that have movement sounds are Shenandoah and Overland, I don't currently have Petersburg loaded. You'll find files in the Media folder that are named *Movement, IMovement sounds like infantry marching. You could copy all these *Movement files to your C'ville Media folder, worked... |

This game engine is ridiculous.
How do you play this way?

I was not acquainted with Lieutenant General Steve Kitchen but his dedicated service to the club places him on my list of those I wish I knew better.

I listed the basic rules I used for running the game I umpired so players understood how things would be done. If you're interested you can ... |

| All of these fantasies are just that, fantasies. In the first place Jackson lost his arm May 2. Hood's arm was injured at Gettysburg, not amputated and he did not return to duty until September, nearly two months later. Otis Howard lost an arm at Fair Oaks on June 1 and didn't return to duty until S... |

| 1. When breastworks are 'built', it is obvious which side that they protect because a breastwork goes up on that particular hexside. However, when trenches are 'built', the trench appears down the middle of the hex. Does the trench protect against all sides of the hex? Yes, can verify this from tes... |

As you mentioned there were several tactical games, then there was the V for Victory series which was brigade/division level as I recall.
