| My opponent and I are currently on Turn 110 in the modified 007 Gettysburg. I think it'll be continuing for some time yet. All I changed in that scenario was the supply situation. Supply wagons were increased in size (for both sides) and essentially align with the small arms supply Blake discussed i... |

| All, After testing this myself I have a theory of what is going on but I can't say I like the implication. There is a solid line of units between the wrong-way inf on the pike and the artillery at the head of this test column. The V key only shows the shadow casts by the lead arty unit, but why can... |

| Yes, it is a bit of fun although I rarely play it anymore. Once you learn the ropes it is fairly easy to win against the AI. As the CSA I usually win it in the west, which is where I feel the war could have been won. It must be incredibly easy to win as the Union and almost impossible to lose as the... |

| Why do I get files from some of my opponents that have a number in parenthesis within the file name, such as FILENAME (2).bte I don't know why others may do that, but I change the name for each turn. So, File (1), File (2), File (3) would be Turn 1, 2, and 3 respectively. It helps me keep track of ... |

| EPISODE 2.23 - [color=#0000FF]March 10, 2006 It's a fairly good topic which would be very interesting to update to 2025. When they discuss Confederate monuments the tone and conversation changes as the monuments become more about race and oppression rather than commemoration. But they debate this a... |

| Welcome, I love Dublin and France. A few free tips: 1) Don't be too concerned about VP hexes. Destroy the enemy and take the VP hexes if needed. 2) Manage your unit integrity. Meaning, avoid being detached. 3) Watch your artillery ammo. Some scenarios will cause you to come up short if you blast aw... |

| Personal Preference Opinion - I've never cared much for variable entry locations and times. Depending on how the scenario is designed it is possible that a division with four brigades may enter the map from each of the four corners due to their randomized entry locations. It makes command and contr... |

| Your fears have a different side to them. There are situations where you have to delay reinforcements because the opponent has overrun the entry hex in strength and if you bring them on board, they will be slaughtered even with the 5 (and more for a few scenarios) hex routing and the elimination of... |

| I would rather see that as a house rule , not a club rule. Also, it would only be an issue for a very few scenarios. I see it more as a command decision that enhances strategic thinking. Why couldn't riders be sent to inform a column that it would be unwise to advance at this time. Almost all scena... |

| I've 'slept on it' and woke up very worried that delaying reinforcements could unbalance many scenarios. Essentially, units are hidden 'beyond the edge of the world' and a large force can be built up that then emerges in the flank/rear of an opponent at a convenient time. The converse situation is w... |

| The 6th Corps was in reserve just a mile or two to the rear behind the Round Tops. Had Meade needed them they could have arrived in short order to either counterattack Pickett's remnants (with all three generals down, and all the colonels, they could not have put up much of a fight) or take up a ne... |
