| Ernie provided good advise for finding standalone scenario titles but it can become much more difficult for campaign scenarios. Most of them are relatively easy to decide which you are fighting but some of them can't be figured out until your opponent tells you which choice that he made at the start... |

| "If you move a unit it will lose the benefit of hexside modifiers like breastworks, fenses, etc. Obviously this only affect the defensive fire against the unit though. The reason for it is so attackers moving up adjacent to say a unit behind a stone wall won't get the wall benefit when they receive ... |

| The 3 available scenarios for WBTS are: Battle Cry of Freedom 1861-65 Landscape Turned Red 1862-65 Terrible Swift Sword 1863-65 but I need some help to determine how many possible turns there are in each scenario. It says when they start but not when they will automatically finish. Lt Gen Ned Simms ... |

| From Rich Walker on 11 Nov 08: "BTW, soon after the next game release, you will see a flurry of game patches. I have many files ready for a new patch to all my games, but because each title uses an updated exe file, and all games use the same exe file, we decided to hold the patches until after the ... |

| It's on the Link Express. I think that the URL is at acwgc.org. It's a download of a zip file and doesn't tell you to unzip it in the MAP folder of the game but I never was good with directions anyway.

| Welcome back, Roger. The Rebs need all of the help that they can get. Rumor has it that they've been trying to send peace commissioners to Washington but they haven't seen the place in so long that they don't know how to get there anymore. Most Rebs aren't a bad sort though, nothing that some soap, ... |

| I am definitely an adherent of "The games are complicated enough and players should not have more details to manage" but even though I don't want more supply wagons to wag around the battlefield, I also don't like the game dispersing my supply for me so I would go 4 and 6.

| You download the zip file, then unzip it into the Map folder of each of your HPS games. It will replace a couple of files in each game. His post in the forum says that there are instructions within the zip file but I haven't noticed any (can't say that I've devoted any time to looking for any either... |

| Bill Peters designed them and I think that they only work with HPS. You download/unzip them into your MAP folder in each game. You can find them in the Link Express or by doing a search on 2D in this forum to include archived files will also find the threads that discuss them. He changed the locatio... |

Attacking in column is not a problem with me, nor night attacks, nor a lot of stuff ... but place that supply wagon so that it'll draw my defensive fire and leave it there more than one turn and the temperature s... |
