Re: Antietam not working

Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but where do I go to re-install the game and Antietam expansion pack?

Thanks.

Antietam not working

<t>I got a new computer and a computer services co. copied the entire game from my old hard drive to my new computer (vers. 1.5). Gettysburg seems to work fine, but the Antietam scenarios page is blank. I can pull up my high scores for Antietam. (I do not have Pipe Creek). What do I need to do to ge...

For no particular reason, it just reminds me of Chickamauga.

Re: How to Charge and take out ARTY ???

<t>I have no problem with a unit being too tired to charge. The problem is when you have a regiment standing right next to the guns, and you can't capture them. In Gettysburg I had over 150 men standing between the guns and their caissons while the artilley kept firng away at my other men, and I cou...

Re: How to Charge and take out ARTY ???

<t>This is one of the most unrealistic situations in the game (Gettysburg and Antietam). You can have several hundred of your men standing in the enemy's artillery battery, but they can't capture it becuase they're "tired". I think they would manage enough energy to shoot or bayonet the artillerymen...

Re: Capturing Artillery

<t>Correct, they could not run at them, but they marched right through them, they were not routed or retreating.<br/> <br/> Certainly not historically accurate, but also frustrating because the artillery can keep tearing up your men when they should be captured.<br/> <br/> I hope this is something t...

Capturing Artillery

<t>I don't know if this has been come up before. If so,I don't remember seeing it.<br/> <br/> I was playing the Pender scenario in the new expansion games, and had my men charge a Union battery. They captured several guns, but by then their fatigue factor was either "tired" or "exhausted." They got ...

Re: New Scenarios Problem

Success! Clicking the checkmark at the bottom is the key, and it worked. Can't wait to try them.

Many thanks to all of you!
