| Thanks yall. I've been really busy the last month with life stuff (finishing college, moving out my million books out of my apartment, job hunting, etc). I will likely be busy going forward as well with other projects. I may come back to post in the forum once in a blue moon with army strength resea... |

| So, a few friends outside of this group wanted to do their own WDS gaming stuff. Most members are newbies, most of whom are getting their copies thanks to one of our buddies with deep pockets. Thus, I decided to help out and suggest a few potential MP scenarios. Decided to pull up the old library to... |

| Hello. Guy who is barely involved here anymore. I am finishing up my history degree at GSU, and have already been getting "into the field" so to speak. Been doing research for a potential book on the Battle of Jonesborough; talked with various historians on CWT, on Facebook, via email &... |

| I have had it play-tested, and I can share the files with either an administrator who can post those files somewhere on this forum, or can send them via email to anyone who asks. |

| [quote="S Trauth"]You can add any portraits - just stick it onto the Leaders graphics file - find a slot ... and you'd have to point to the number where you stashed the portrait - it's basically what they do there. Know it because I had done it for them for a project not yet published. You... |

| I've completed both the OOB file & the basic scenario. Tried to model it on the 30 minute turn grand battle scenario with reinforcements and such. I have some playtesting to do but it seems stable so far. I've only really edited the Army of Tennessee & Bragg's Command in terms of number, plu... |

| First post in a while (school work & other matters took up my time). I've been working on google docs compiling strength returns & OOBs for various Confederate armies in 1864 through to 1865. I've been considering doing an alternative scenario for Forgotten Campaigns (which contains scenario... |

| [quote="S_Trauth"]After testing that out - a couple of things. 1) It's really interesting to learn the differences between engines in OOB structures - so will be really interested in the results, and no doubt learn something new. 2) Name length is an issue in some instances- 1 I recall not... |

| [quote="Quaama"]Well done and best of luck for your future research. I note that you're looking at the Shenandoah campaign. Regretfully for me, not the 1862 campaign. If you ever get an OOB for the 1862 Valley Campaign I'd love to see it. At the moment, I'm waiting for Bradley Gottfried to... |

| Hello. I know that I've just joined this server but I might as well get the ball rolling. I diagnose myself with some high tier disorder which makes me obsess over OOBs and troop strengths and such. And so, for the last 3 years, I have been trying to write up and organize a bunch of OOBs for battles... |

| When it's up it would be nice to get some details about the changes and why they were made. Yes. I used the brigade strengths and casualties from Alfred Young's Overland Book for the Rebels, along with the ORs and posts by other nuts like me over on CWT (where I get my numbers for 5th and 6th Corps... |

| Since I'm new here, I wanted to know if this subforum is the best place for me to post custom OOBs I've been working on. Currently doing one on the Overland Campaign (updating unit strengths to be more accurate to historical) and was gonna upload it to the Cartography office because the description ... |
