| His units are not isolated but due to a different headscratcher. The bridge was taken down to zero value but he had a unit to rout and move onto the bridge (from the side of the river that did not have a trail leading into it). How can a routed unit move onto a bridge that does not exist? I'm not t... |

| Some of the Forgotten Campaigns Morris Island scenarios feel badly broken to me - take for instance scenario 049-630710-[H]Morris Island.30.scn When the 6th Connecticut arrives at 10,77, the protection radius for the reinforcement causes the emplaced Confederate batteries at 11,76; 13,76; 13,75; an... |

| The convention (probably not always followed) seems to be that if a unit was assigned elsewhere prior to the battle starting it is attached to that new command (e.g. 13th Miss. at First Manassas https://civilwarintheeast.com/confederate-regiments/mississippi/13th-mississippi-infantry-regiment/ - Fi... |

| All of the Supply Wagons at Historical Shiloh 144 are listed as "Reserve Corps" wagons. The Union divisions at Shiloh were not listed correctly. They were known numerically and not by the name of the commander. Thus, it should be: 1st Div (McClernand) as opposed to McClernand's Division D... |

| While helping another member in researching some things I came across a possible tweak that may be of interest in Chickamauga 015 Historical Murfreesboro . In the research I read Cleburne's report on the battle which said in part: "Before daylight I formed line, placing Polk’s brigade, with Ca... |

| Antietam 116 Weather_Gaps to Manassas.scn The 1st & 2nd Bn. 2nd NY Heavy Artillery have only 2 men each. The OOB calls for them to have 300. The other 2 units have their full strength as shown in the OOB. Folks, don't make me work too hard on this, it should be quick and easy. I need hexes or t... |

| I say 'Yes'. After all you are spotting an entire unit or units (not usually a few men) so it could be up to 1,000 men that you are 'seeing'. Not that hard in a 125 yard square area. Also, they could get inventive in what was done in order to spot the enemy. In William J. Miller's 'Mapping for Ston... |

| This thought occurred to me. Some maps have thick wooded areas and in certain areas those inside these areas can see out over considerable distances. OK, this seems right to me. BUT, should those on the outside be allowed to see into a wooded hex? For example, the Chickamauga map has a lot of wooded... |

| "...if you trust them that completely then why even use a password?" I use them only to prevent accidentally opening a move when it's my opponents turn. I always use the same file name for every move and if I mis-save my opponents move to me and thus accidentally open up the old file I se... |

| If we could have EFoW without LoS restrictions I would use it because I like the uncertainty that other things in EFoW provide. 100% agree. ExFoW isn't all bad but it's largest drawback is the LoS restrictions. These are unnecessary and useless as there is a simple workaround that everyone can/does... |

| The fact you can't see the viewable hexes when using it makes it preferable not to use it. I have to pull up the same scenario in a different window without the Extreme Fog of War in order to view the hexes I can see from a certain hex I don't occupy. I know some will say that isn't in the spirit o... |
