The Union Army board wasn't needed once we discovered that by speaking proper English the Rebs were clueless. [:p]

| Ned, Somewhere in the HPS documanetation, in very fine print, you will see one of the major engine changes is that Ned Simms and Mark Nelms will not be able to win melees. Talk about your programming sophistication! [:p] But seriously, I think most of the guys wearing the grey run a coin toss with a... |

| Kennon, What I object to is having to cross a linear obstacle (bridge, defile, exitng the woods by road) and losing 3/4 of your turn because you can't then ploy into line. I don't purposely ploy into line close up and personal like. I, whenever possible, form my lines outside of 1,000 yards and marc... |

| "Someone tell me what I got here" A very well deserved, and thought out gift. That's what you got! Excellent! Don't know how to care for it though. Congratulations, Don. Well done!

Dierk,
New patch for Shiloh has density modifier. See Rich W's thread about patch on Shiloh he has pasted the txt file sliting the changes. It's the last on the list.

| A PDT file change can break the Blitz down the road problem. Set the pdt file so that units moving on road can move 3 mph. Then set the pdt file so that movement in line/column in OPEN hex is for the Quick Ster cadence. The overall effect will be units moving on the road in OPEN will move slower tha... |

| I do not like multi-phase only because of when you can change formation. Having to do it up front is a crock, with no logical explanation. Change that, then I could see multi-phase having the advantage, until then single phase turns with historical play is the way to go. MajGen Al 'Ambushed' Amos 3r... |

| Although its Hollywood, I'll ask anyway... Can the assault on Marye's Heights battle scene from <i>God's and Generals</i> be reproduced in the HPS system? If so, then the system captures the essence of tactical combat during the war. If not, then the system needs to be reworked. MajGen Al 'Ambushed'... |
