Re: Questions/Strategy on AN18 The Bloodiest Day

Could it be that I didn't get up to 14,000 points? Yeah, the brigade really isn't going to be very effective (or quick) in capturing the arty...

Re: Questions/Strategy on AN18 The Bloodiest Day

<t>Well....I fired up the battle out of a save and tried to use the Cavalry. The commander was Thomas Devin, with 4 regiments. Of course in my haste to attack I neglected to find all of my units, I thought 2 of them had routed in the AP Hill area of the battle. (I found the others this morning) The ...

Re: Questions/Strategy on AN18 The Bloodiest Day

<t>Hi Sarge-nice to hear from you! I'm still up here in Alaska. We've had close to a record snowfall this winter, so I've had plenty of time in the "cabin" to play and develop the fever-ha ha. I have had some Calvary released, it wasn't a large force though. I'm a little past the 10:05 time showing ...

Re: Questions/Strategy on AN18 The Bloodiest Day

<r>Hey RebBugler-after I got home from work, I continued on from where I'd saved the battle and kept pushing south. After about 20 minutes, lo and behold-got the courier message that Burnside was at the bridge! Wow...wish I'd been more patient before, it's nice to actually fight the battle the way M...

Re: Questions/Strategy on AN18 The Bloodiest Day

Thanks for the kudos on the generaling RebBugler-I think I was within one objective of the Burnside Bridge. Probably have to be more patient and eventually I'll get the breakthrough points. I finally won the "Three Times is not a Charm" after several tries, that felt good!

Questions/Strategy on AN18 The Bloodiest Day

<t>Well, I've tried playing this scenario three times so far and can't seem to break the 8,000 point barrier. I'm not even close to the 14,000 needed to release the rest of my troops. So I'm a bit frustrated... I'm wondering about the 1000 points for each objective, I think there are 7 or 8 of them....

TC2M Selected as one of the Top 100 Games of All Time!

A testiment to you Norb and all of the fine people who've been working with you. Thanks! To think about how many thousands of games have bee...

Re: Question about AN 17 Scenario

You're most welcome, even though it's a bear of a scenario I've managed to hold the Bloody Lane and Burnsides's Bridge the whole time. Will keep an eye out for Hill.

Question about AN 17 Scenario

<t>I was wondering approximately when AP Hill's forces arrive on the battlefield? I think I'm close to the 9th hour and still no sign of him. I could definately use some reinforcements! Do you have to have to have a certain amount of points accumulated for him to appear? I lost Lee about halfway thr...
