I just got the game installed, so it's hard for me to say much. That said, I was a bit surprised to see Black Jack Logan rated C C at Atlanta. Considering the way his role in that battle went, I'd have figured he would have been B or even A for Leadership Major General Gary McClellan 1st Division, XXIII Corps AoO,USA |

I just received the game today, and have only had time for a quick look around. It looks great, and I must say that this is really one of the campaigns I have been looking forward to [:)] One thing though, wasn't the Pickett's Mill battlefield much more wooded? All the accounts of the battle I have read tells about forests with dense undergrowth, etc. A "hell hole", as the participants (at least the Federals) later called the battle... Just wondered... To illustrate what I am talking about, look at the map on p. 2 of the April 1989 issue of Blue & Gray Magazine. MajGen Atle Jenssen CO 2nd Division XXth Corps Army of the Cumberland USA |

Does the disk contain a monster scenario to go with the monster map? You know, like the Peninsula disk had the complete 400-turn mega scenario on that monster map? It'd be a shame to have a hundred-mile map without a scenario worthy of its size!! Sincerely, Brig Gen Dwight McBride 1st Brigade ("The Regulars") 2nd Division/V Corps/AOP/USA |

There are a few scns like #61 that use the full map and are over 100 turns, but a full campaign using the whole map from May to September would be over 4800 turns. I would be dead before I could finish. Generally, I try to keep scns under 100. Few people play more than 40-50. <blockquote id="quote"><font size="3" face="book antiqua" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by DwightMcBride</i> <br /> Does the disk contain a monster scenario to go with the monster map?

Rich Another great Campaign...[:D] Maybe a bug? I have noticed that in the units box at the bottom of the screen. When I click on a unit within the map the terrain box goes to the right instead of staying all the way to the left. Thanks for all your work. Colonel Russ Jenkins Corcoran's Legion 2/2/VIII AoS |

Rich, does it have the Vista fix? I'm having trouble trying to look at a campaign start up, similar to what you fellows fixed with the other titles. Gen. Den McBride Congaree Swamp Rifles "Fightin' for The Cause since '97" III Corps, ANV C.S.A. swampfox_csa(at)yahoo.ca

The Vista fix wasn't available when Atlanta mastered, but expect it in a few days. I hope no later than Friday. I asked John to wait a few days to see if any other major issues came up. You guys can sometimes catch things that are missed is playtesting. Aside from a few comments, nothing major yet. Russ, that's the way all HPS ACW games do the Info box bar. Alan, I look forward to seeing people use the editor to make their own scns, including monsters! Have fun. I'll try to remember to bump Logan to a "B" Rich <blockquote id="quote"><font size="3" face="book antiqua" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by Den McBride</i> <br />Rich, does it have the Vista fix?

Rich, Having artillery leaders is a wonderful addition. Just finished <i>Champion Hill</i> by Timothy B. Smith & he integrates the artillery leaders into the action in a very organic way & then I started Atlanta & found them there too. What a treat! Makes all sorts of sense. Good work all around! My goodness there's a lot of gaming wrapped up in this one. Dale Brig. Gen. Dale Henken First Divsion XVI Corps Army Of The Tennessee |

Rich, Finished my check of the Atlanta OOB's and only found one problem with the unit pictures. In the three Campaign Atlanta and two Jonesboro OOB's the AotT/XVII Corps/4th Div/G, 11th Illinois Cav is assigned picture 0 which is also used for confederate infantry. Just installed the Atlanta patch and I see the G, 11th Illinois Cav has been fixed and now shows a cavalry picture/ Gen. Ken Miller

I said "few" people, not necessarily club members. <blockquote id="quote"><font size="3" face="book antiqua" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by Bill Peters</i> <br /><blockquote id="quote"><font size="3" face="book antiqua" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><i>Originally posted by Rich Walker</i> <br />Few people play more than 40-50. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote"> Major Richard Walker I Corps Army of the Mississippi 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division "Defenders of Tennessee" <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote"> [;)][;)] Yeah sure Rich! ... HEHE!!! You are looking at a guy that has played over 100 turns in ACW scenarios on many an occaision. For instance: the old BGG title 3 day battle ... were you forgetting that many of us in the club have played that one? Its 149 turns AND the longer version was 200 turns or thereabouts. Er, and then there is the one map Eckmuhl scenario - 532 turns. Have played 300 turns in that one. And Jena - I am up to 234 turns in that one of 500+ turns. Col.
