In the campaign games I consider the army structure common knowledge. That is, if you run into so and so's brigade you know what division and Corps it is attached too. In Gettysburg I have the 20,000+ scenarios downloaded so while I have played it enough to know generally what's out there I still do... |

Maybe they are getting ready to redo them to fix the bug but I was thinking someone else had broken them up into smaller zip files and that might be still around. Lynn Answer is maybe and depends on some of the branches in the campaign tree. I am not sure where the branch is though but in one of my ... |

Does anyone have a link to a site for downloading the 20,000+ alternate campaign scenarios for CG? Seem to have lost the link.

Cadet Brown, Don't be put off to much by the caps thing, its just something you should know about using the internet. According to internet etiquette (whoever makes up these rules?) caps in posts or emails is supposedly the equivalent of shouting[:0] and its hard to read[:D]. I was looking further t... |

You do need a copy of HPS's Corinth to play this one.
And, does anyone really want to be Gen. Howard?[xx(]

For those hoping the game's AI will get smarter don't hold your breath[:D] waiting. Chess has only 6 different pieces for a total of 32 with rigid rules of movement on a 64 square board and took tens of thousands of man hours of programming over many years to become competitive. Our games have five ... |

If they still have their special pricing for three games you might consider buying three. I highly recommend Gettysburg and Corinth for two of them. I would lean toward Pennisula for third but I don't own the two other western games so really can't compare. I included Corinth because in its 1.01a ve... |

I haven't gotten around to studying the melee question yet but I have observed the lack of loss of guns there. Apparently in melee the number of kills it reports is converted into equivalent gun loss and rounded down (no fractional kills or accumulated kills). Although I thought the number was 25 fo... |

I was wondering if anyone new how the HPS games determine when a crew loss occurs for artillery? The User Manual gives the method it uses for determining when a gun loss occurs, 1 gun for each 25 man equivalent casualties or probably of for fraction of 25. This applies to fire from artillery at any ... |

That's because the whole thing was a cover for an internal conflict between the Certified and Unionized Public Accountants over who will control the world.[:D] They invented all that other stuff, states rights, etc. as a cover for their conflict.

First a general observation, I find that Peninsula seems to be short on artillery ammo for both sides which would seem to be out of order for two stationary armies one near its capital and the other near major supply depots. The other is that Gettysburg seems to be short on infantry ammo wagons. I h... |

The HPS system takes some getting use too if you are a Battleground only user. You will think a lot of things aren't right like artillery fire and melees but once you get familiar with it you will find it fixed a lot of problems that were in the Battleground games. And, if the only thing you have pl... |

I had a great grandfather, Lt. James Whitehead, and a great great grandfater, Lt. Col. R. Martin (James married his daugther after the war). Both mustered in the Chatham Grays company of the 53rd Virginia. The regiment fought with Magruder and Huger during the Peninsula Campaign. Both were captured ... |
