Re: A newby's experience: wow, what a simulation in HITs!

<t>Ha! New Napoleon...hardly. The cavalry is easier to beat than regular forces...that's my conclusion. The next time I face the Union, it will be a regular division and we'll see if I am successful there. This one was good for practising the flank move. That really worked. I need to go around the f...

Re: A newby's experience: wow, what a simulation in HITs!

<t>Final report: Hmmm. Well, the flank attack worked sort of. Managed to roll up the Union right and they fell back...the centre was relieved. BUT...it did seem a little too easy in the end. I noticed that most of the troops were cavalry and they couldn't stand the regular brigades I had. The reinfo...

Re: A newby's experience: wow, what a simulation in HITs!

<t>Well, it senses a weakness in the front perhaps. Come to think of it, my left side is actually doing quite well..pushing that bit if the Union line back a bit. Perhaps it is bringing the reserves up to give aid to that bit of the line. Escape in the final reel? Hey, so far, it's going quite well....

Re: A newby's experience: wow, what a simulation in HITs!

<t>Well, here's what has happened so far. The Union column marched up the road away from my division and I followed by myself, leaving the division deployed and standing still. I am glad I arranged the artillery...but more on that later. I followed the union troops just to see where they were going;...

A newby's experience: wow, what a simulation in HITs!

<r>Fellows SoW'ers...thought I'd just pass along an experience I had last night with this excellent simulation. So addictive and is really drawing out real feelings of panic, relief, chaos and satisfaction when it (rarely) goes well. THAT is the unmistakable mark of a well crafted strategy simulatio...

Re: Mods not working

<t>Well that is very kind of you. I will check out that website you pointed me to and see. I think I have to download teamspeak first, right? Get that up and running. I live in east coast Australia and you are in the US, right...so timing might be an issue. But nothing I couldn't work out. Let me ch...

Re: Mods not working

<t>I don't know about the multiplayer thing, Michael. I've never done that...only single player. Seems a bit daunting....having to download teamspeak...I wouldn't know where to begin. And while my skills are so crappy (cannon fodder indeed! I'm glad the Union didn't need to rely on my battle abilty,...
