Looks like same fire tables as Campaign Gettysburg. CSA as mentioned has the small gun sections although a few 4 gun units this time.

| That is the reason the Campaign engine doesn't use encryption, it still doesn't explain why they don't fix this. Encryption isn't program specific. There is no program reason they can't encrypt the cpf file for both the Campaign engine and the Battle engine. It allows accidental viewing your opponen... |

Nope, encryption option doesn't work for campaign games. Means you have to be extra careful not to open a game when it isn't your turn since the only alert will be it asking you to view the wrong replay. Wish they would fix this.

| If you want a rather different view of why Lee did what he did I recommend reading "Lee's Real Plan at Gettysburg" by Troy D. Harman. It has been a while since I read it but I will try to summarize it. Harman's premise is that Lee recognized Cemetery Hill as the key to the battlefield and his attack... |

| I think the legal question is whether a state had the right or not to succeed from the Union. If it did then the US should evacuate its territory including Fort Sumter within their borders which it was. If they didn't have the right to succeed then the CSA's seizing of US property was sufficient rea... |

| Going to 10 minute turns solves some problems but introduces new ones. One of which is that by email it would take 312 turns or two years, assuming you could get a 3 turns a week turned around, to finish Gettysburg. This is the major problem with any of the proposed shorter turn ideas. The 20 minute... |

Five minute turns in email game pretty much limits you to small tactical engagements. It would take you years to play full battles like Gettysburg.

| I have been thinking somewhat along these lines. That is, using a 20 minute time interval. This gives a good balance between micromanaging the battle and having so little control you just as well not give orders. Allowing the player to plot a move and give the regiment/brigade and order to carry out... |

| I have tinkered with the idea but plot and simultaneous movement does have its problems. First, for the player it can become really difficult to keep track of what you have or haven't done. This becomes more of a problem as the unit density goes up. A few squads in Combat Mission can be managed, but... |
