| Hey Tom, can you flick either myself or the support email at John Tiller Software's site with a screenshot of what is going on? I'd love to have a look to see what is happening with your set up; it sounds like you might have some missing graphics files (maybe). Maybe we can get that sorted out for y... |

| That is the interesting thing, in that in the Musket and Pike engine you can assign vp's to individual units within the OOB files, so it can make things a little more flexible than some of the other engines. Of course that doesn't really do anything for the CWB series at this point, although what I ... |

| How about adding singal corps units and spys. The Singal Corps for both sides was very important in determining enemy positions and troop movements especially for the Union Armies. Maybe making a 10 man cavalry unit or infantry unit and designate them as singal corps. Also more spys like the George... |

| Another new feature in Overland is the -1 morale penalty for mixing units from different brigades. Hopefully this option will become available in the other games. I'm assuming that could affect melee bonuses and penalties. I checked my changes.txt file for one of the HPS version 2.0 updates (Campai... |

| Yep we had some new patches in August 2014 for the CW series, unfortunately Antietam wasn't part of it but hopefully we see it soon. True, however the way JTS has been going about the NB updates by introducing the same graphics packages between HPS and JTS versions in that series indicates (to me a... |

| I had no hexlines as well, running my HPS version. Could it be possible that JTS games can see the hexlines and the HPS cannot? It does appear as though JTS is ahead as far as updates are concerned. Hi Dale, I get the same thing running HPS - and what you wrote is probably exactly what is happening... |

| do these files only work for the john tiller version or for the hps version also? You can use them with the HPS version. Just one word of caution, do not apply the update mentioned on the article about Frank's maps (the one where it was talking about alignment corrections) -as applying a JTS update... |

| You would probably have to change it to 1 -since you will want to see into the adjacent hex. I think using a 0 indicates don't see anything ever. Edit: oops -number of turns for twilight. I think using a 0 may work in that sense, I think I even accidentally tried it once while editing in the M&P... |

| If it were me -what I would do would be to do an alternate install of REN, change over the weapons.dat to whatever you need, and then rate accordingly in the OOB files (mainly because the when doing the weapons' impact in the PDT is only really useful for fire combat, not melee combat). Unlike CWB y... |

| In the M&P series cavalry functions more or less in the same way that it does in the NB series- as such, there is no way per se to evade a charge via a game function apart from anticipating where one will likely come from (sort of a low tech approach). The M&P engine allows for coding melee ... |

| I haven't ever worked out exactly why it is that guys don't select artillery capture. If artillery capture is on then the situation basically forces the capturing side to hold the position to get the points. Without it, it just seems too easy to mount hit and withdrawal attacks. I don't actually pla... |
