Post subject: | NEED AN ANSWER FOR AN HPS ISSUE |
I recently experienced an issue with the HPS Campaign Gettysburg game. In playing the first turn Scenario # 63, Encounters Along South Mountain, in a PBEM match, I advanced my Union infantry in column against deployed Rebel cavalry units at several different locations. ADF was in effect and I took light casualties to my columns as a result of my approach, but no units were disrupted. In all cases my infantry units occupied an adjacent hex and were correctly facing the Rebel units, yet when the ADF sequence was concluded and I touched off the "Next Phase" button, the game immediately went into its PBEM cycle without allowing any melees! I am familiar with the engine mechanic that disallows infantry from meleeing <i>mounted</i> cavalry, but I am unaware of any provision that disallows infantry in column from meleeing dismounted cavalry. Can someone please enlighten me here? Is there some sort of special first-turn or all-turn provision in this particular scenario that prohibits this knid of melee? Need help! |

Sounds to me like you are in the default "single turn" mode, and not phases. Send me the game file at Support at hpssims.com and I'll confirm that one way or the other. Make sure and Zip it first! LGen. Hamilton II Corps ANV, CSA |

Dear Joe, Yep you are playing single phase with ADF in effect while you were marching. In multi-phase play teh ADF only occurs after you hit the advance turn. Lt Gen Joe Mishurda Lt General Joseph C. Mishurda, "Killer Angels" VI Corps, AoS, USA |

OK! I got this one solved. It was a simple matter of readjusting the head on my shoulders, something I've been doing more frequently the older I get! Thanks to all. |
