| I visited these battlefields this March and I was actually impressed with Corinth more than I thought I would be. The visitor center is very good quality, built around the remains of Battery Robinette. The contraband camp is interesting history, although there are no buildings or artifacts remaining... |

| Thanks for the response and forwarding. Re: Corinth, I sent off the updated historical weather variants to JTS a few months back for a possible future update of Corinth, Peninsula, Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Ozark. The Purdy scenarios use Iuka.pdt which I had to copy and update to the newest version ... |

| I'm noticing several instances of missing 3d graphics, especially in Shenandoah; this ghost-cavalry one is from Chickamauga. Is this being addressed, and is there a protocol for reporting these? My old OOB-viewer program from old banshee days would be good for this but it doesn't work with the new r... |

| My Brother and I (and sister and her husband) did a 4-day whirlwind tour of Nashville-Murfreesboro-Chattanooga-Chickamauga-Corinth-Shiloh and back to Nashville just last month. My brother flew in from Texas and the rest of us from California - it was a real treat to finally get out and do something.... |

| I've completed the weather mods for JTS for Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Ozark, and Peninsula and they work great, both stand-alone scenarios and complete weather campaigns. Corinth, however, is another story. If I change the pdt version from 2 to anything else I get a crash; something something data read... |

I just noticed that Cavalry MP is 20 in Campaign Shenandoah and 24 in every other title that I own.
It doesn't seem right but I don't own any other newer titles since Chancellorsville to compare. Did something change? |

| I am working with JTS to update and supplement the weather mods to those games that do not have them. I'll look at modifying the night movement as well but not without seeking input from the club in this forum. The Old Banshee mods needed to be reworked for the new file structure and pdt development... |

| I did all the weather mods for Old Banshee back in the day, for most of the games on Ken's list above, except Corinth. I wasn't sure how many folks were using them since both sides had to have the pdt files for HTH. I think the variable weather makes the games so much more interesting. 22dec2020 Edi... |

| In my own opinion, the game seems to allow too much visibility even with extreme FOW. In a current game (Port Gibson from Vicksburg) I was able to spot a regiment crossing the suspension bridges several miles away from a point in the wilderness east of Town (if you have ever visited the Port Gibson ... |

| It's my understanding that so many Rebs dropped out of this Tournament that we Federals who remain have lost the opportunity to play MP campaigns and we are now matched up 1:1 against other Federals which must now reluctantly play as Confederate. This is an unfortunate turn of events for this otherw... |
