Re: Pronunciation guide

Pronunciation guide

<r>I was watching a YouTube video about the Sandbox Campaign and the poor guy was having a bit of a nightmare with some of the pronunciations. I thought it might be useful to post a brief guide to the correct way to say the names of the Belgian place names and French surnames, for those who might fe...

Re: Resources -> Battlefield tactics

<r>Another vote for Muir, and one for this, a more serious academic treatment of not just Napoleonic tactics, but why the worked and how they evolved:<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Tactics-Napoleon-His-Enemies/dp/0094772401"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Tactics-N...

Re: Split Battalions

No, the detach of skirmishers is stance related (some stances use them others no);
Aaargh, first fact I learned from the SDK and I got it wrong...never mind, good thread this. I have a feeling I'll be referring back to it.

Re: Split Battalions

<t>I've been taking a look at the Gettysburg SDK today, just to get a flavour of what's in store, and from what I've seen, I think that would be possible. There's a CSV file that defines the formations, and each formation has a unit attribute value against it for close order drill (if I remember cor...

Re: Quality of life thing.

I agree that making the M key a toggle that opens the map when its closed and closes it when its open would be an extremely welcome addition.

Re: How is the performance, compared to SoW: Gettysburg?

<r>Your spec and mine aren't all that different, apart from the processor - mine weighs in at 2.4Ghz. <br/> <br/> I just fired up Fraps to have a look at what FPS I'm getting - not that I care, because I'm happy with how the game performs. Lesson #2 from FSX, concentrate on smoothness and the experi...

Re: How to use ATTACK Columns ?

<t>I was always under the impression that while movement in line was no faster than column in terms of march speed, line was slower because of the need to stop and dress ranks more frequently to prevent the line from becoming disordered. One historian, I wish I could remember the name, who was invol...
