I am currently reading through volume I of Shelby Foote's Civil war narrative. I was thinking that the situation described of Lee's plan to attack Pope's Army of Virginia on the 17 - 20th August 1862 in it's position in the corner of the Rapidan & Rappahannock rivers would make for a good scenario.
The antietam disk as released does not offer this situation as a what if scenario and as far as I can tell, the relevant map is not provided. In fact, a "perfect" map does not exist (I think?) but the Rappahannock map on the Gettysburg disk is fairly suitable, just missing a section of ground to the south-east that might have been required ideally.
Is there any posibility that a "patch" might be made to render this map from Gettysburg useable on the Antietam scenario editor? As far as I can see, this combination of map & oob would only have limited application to this particular hypothetical engagement...and would not compromise any possible future ACW releases...or would it?
