Just wondering!

Davinci, i'm a IT analyst, so I work with testers everyday. If you are not a software tester, you missed your calling. You have an incredible knack for getting straight to the root of an issue. Nice work!

<t>I can usually take the northern objective with 2 of Davis's regiments. The third I use to capture the artillery at the farm. Really, the only thing that will kill you in this scenario (like most) is cannister. Bring most of Archers bridgage in from the front/right and the furthest regiment behind...

<t>Instead of countering unrealistic gameplay with unrealistic rules (slowing column movement speed when near the enemy) how about the completely realistic option of <br/> a. getting fired on in column being the equivalent to being fired in flank (if you think about it, is essentially is the same)<b...

<t>Most of what i want is ai tweaks...<br/> <br/> 1. units don't automatically countercharge, they hold their ground and fire<br/> 2. more realistic charges (very few charges actually ended in melee, either the charge stalled and settled to exchanging fire, or the defender ran)<br/> 3. an option to ...

So... moved on to this scenario. Just beat it with a score of just over 7500. Pretty much moved to the objective, routed 3 small confederate regiments, and then fast forwarded to the end. Major Victory is set at 1,000.

Did I get the confederates overslept the assault variant?

Finally beat it on the 7th try wtih a score of 9500. (7,000 for major victory). The primary difference was the timing of the Union reinforcements. The huge mass still came, but much later. I guess I was just getting the tough variants repeatedly.

<t>Anyone beaten this scenario?<br/> <br/> I'm getting murdered. I find that trying to take the wheatfield is pretty futile... the artillery eats you up and the reinforcements quickly swamp whatever is left. <br/> <br/> One thing I haven noticed is if you hold you ground for a couple minutes the sha...

<t>I'm having a really hard time with this one... the first time I played it the Reb's rolled up my flank on the right... so the second time I started the left of my line on the objective and went to the right from there... but theres just not enough men to cover the gaps. The AI does a good job of ...

I am not in favor of changes 1 & 3. They do nothing to solve the fundamental issue, and add nothing to historical accuracry or realism.
