Re: Tactics.

Look over the User Manual Example on firing. The normal fire value for a 250-man unit armed with rifled muskets at one hex would be 250x4 = 1000. A Disrupted unit would have a fire value of 500 (1000x0.50), a unit that was both Disrupted and moved would have a fire value of 250 (1000x0.50x0.50). The...

Re: To stack, or not to stack

From the User's Manual 3.4.4 Fire Combat pg 29 You may fire several units in a stack at once rather than each one individually. Note: Firing multiple units at once does not increase the effectiveness of fire. Each unit's fire result is handled separately, then the total casualties and fatigue are ad...

Re: Questions.

The 'banging of the old drum'...................but he's right, 8 deployed guns per hex should be an absolute maximum ! "If you group four or more different gun types in one hex and fire them off you can't be sure what result you get unless you can be bothered to think what effect each type ha...

Re: Questions.

Is it better I play the scenarios with weather or without weather? Some scenarios have sectional artillery. I used the search feature and couldn't find any info. How does sectional artillery change things? Thanks for your help and opinions. A matter of choice, weather can effect movement and combat...

Re: New Campaign Shiloh Graphics Mod

A little question? How do you manage to change the oob Files data? It seems that there is a checksum which must fit, otherwise the game is corrupted. The OOB's were locked at one time but this was removed with the release of Overland I believe and the subsequent updates to the other games in the se...

Re: The answer is likely no, but... Steam

Something else to consider, you do not own or have a perpetual license to a Steam game, meaning, no matter how many games you have "purchased" on Steam, Steam can take those games away, or your account, at any time and you have no effective recourse. .... I have passed on buying games tha...

Re: Multiplayer Network Play how-to

Yes it seems most of the manuals although they show the dialogs to start network play do not have a section on Multi-player Dialog. The Civil War Battles and Squad Battles do cover the Multi-player Dialog for network player to some extent if you have any of those games. If you don't have those here ...

Re: detachments

No, the detachments are not part of a regiment but are separate units in the OOB.
The CWB engine does not have the ability to detach and re-unite units like the Nappy games.

Re: Race for Tunis is too one sided

The problem with expecting "balance" is that many battles are not balanced. Any good Generals try their best to gain an advantage in numbers. ....... Ironically enough I agree with you mostly. My point was just that whilst no one here (I suspect) would be happy with a game in the Race for...

Re: Gettysburg scenario

I have a lot of the old Battleground mods on backup, downloaded from an old forum that is no longer available. This includes 2 scenarios for Gettysburg with Jackson, one by Cory Runyan and one by Doug Hocking. bulldog61, if you're interested in the scenarios above and are familiar with how to use th...
