Post subject: | HPS Shiloh Campaign Poor Weather is Not optional |
Gentlemen, I would like to request that the Poor Weather Feature just introduced into HPS Shiloh be made optional in campaigns in stead of required. Do not like this feature and would preferr to have the option to play with out it like other HPS disks. Lt Gen Joseph C. Mishurda Lt General Joseph C. Mishurda, "Killer Angels" VI Corps, AoS, USA |

Swap out pdt files to one without any weather data, and you can play without bad weather. Chess doesn't have bad weather either. [:D] MajGen Al 'Ambushed' Amos 3rd "Amos' Ambushers" Bde, Cavalry Division, XX Corps, AoC The Union Forever! Huzzah! |

The "poor weather" feature used in Shiloh is completely different. Very few of the battles will be affected by poor weather. Which one are you playing? Lt. Col. Richard Walker I Corps Army of the Mississippi 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division "Defenders of Tennessee" |

Lt. Col. Richard Walker, I was in the second encounter in a Full Shiloh Campaign at Mill Springs. I opened with Just Thomas's Division and a vicotry Hex to defend about 4000 to 5000 men. Poor weather 4 hexes visibility and reduced movement. I was not expecting to fight this battle as I have played this Campaign several times (4 to 5) all being the Battle of Mill Springs with full Union Forces. Did the poor weather prevent my troops for gathering at Mill Springs? In any event, the Rebs attacked from out of the Mist concentrated; with my disruptions from enemy fire and the Mud we cound not respond and were over whelmed loosing all the Artillery and the victory hex. Major Defeat and end of Campaign, Confederate Victory. Quite a supprising turn of events due to poor weather. Shouldn't teh attacker's troops be disrupted from advancing through the mud (Like a swamp)? Nothing like adding another advantage to the attacker. I am supprised that HPS would not make use of the weather feature optional. At least with the isolation rule, single phase play, and the density fire modifier I can turn them off. First time I feel that the Upgrades ruined the game play. Lt Gen Joseph C. Mishurda Lt General Joseph C. Mishurda, "Killer Angels" VI Corps, AoS, USA |
