Looks beautiful! Great work.

<t>A few scenarios in TC2M made use of the commmandheight function Davinci is asking for (notably the Antietam series of user created scenarios). I think it is a valuable tool when experimenting with the game in order to best flesh out the player's desired command experience. Having a sight "ceiling...

<r>Currently in the middle of an open play battle. AP Hill's climactic assault on my left flank is in full swing. Thought I'd post the engagement to this point. <br/> <br/> <IMG src="http://i.imgur.com/4rXsR.jpg"><s>[IMG]</s><URL url="http://i.imgur.com/4rXsR.jpg">http://i.imgur.com/4rXsR.jpg</URL><...

It is still there. Should be "Move to this map point." The sent messages can be found on the toolbar in the Orders tab.

I very much second the Stephen W. Sears recommendation.

Henry Kyd Douglas's "I Rode With Stonewall" also gives a great account of the battle from the perspective of one of Jackson's staff officers.

What did y'all think?...

I'd like to play, too. I'm in the eastern time zone.
