| Here are my suggestions for this game: The number of Policies they default to is too low. You will find playing beyond two years with their defaults almost impossible. But they let you change them but only by editing the "campaignprefs.txt" file. In it change the minimum number of polices ... |

| I will play either side. Have no idea what the balance is on this scenario. I think it was originally developed for tournament play but that doesn't mean it is balanced. For those who don't have a copy the "Surprise at Dawn VarII" scenario: It starts on June 30th with Rebel IV Corps (D. H.... |

| Paul, as the CSA GinC my "plan" is to wait. There is nothing that can be done until we firmly establish what the future of the DOR is. Once we know that... then you and everyone else will know. Karl and Steve are on board with this because there is literally no alternative. Mustering is s... |

| As most scenarios are currently implemented it is a little hard to set reasonable VP hexes. Since they are all or nothing. If you have a VP hex on the ford worth thousand plus points the game get thrown out of skew as both sides center their battle around the VP hex rather than the terrain blocking ... |

| For the few who fight Civil War battles and also fly virtual planes, I made a MSFS 2020 Bush Trip that follows the ANV march from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg. Includes commentary mostly on Ewell's part of the advance as he led the way. https://flightsim.to/file/68272/gettysburg-campaign-bush-trip |

| Looking for an opponent to play CSA side against me as Union in scenario 039 Battle of Chickamauga(H) No one will play me as CSA, claiming the game favors the Union too much. Well, time to put up or shut up. DoR does show the Union winning about 2:1 to Rebel. But then they are commanded by Yankees. ... |

Need opponents that can have good turnaround time for emails since this is a 256 turn scenario. Luckily it seldom goes that long before one side or the other throws in the towel. For t... |

Alternate Fixed Unit Release - OFF
Disagree with this. Should be ON.
Reason: Most players know or can look up the exact position of these units. Then plan attack paths that will allow them to surround the unit before closing with it. 5 hex trigger makes this tactic much more difficult. |
