New Scenarios Problem

<t>Downloaded the new Bonus Scenarios, but can't open them. I thought it was supposed to be under the User Scenarios section, but it appears under the Mods section, heading is 'Bonus Scenarios' but when I click on it, nothing happens.<br/> <br/> Had a little trouble trying to download. My Norton wou...

Help with Scenario 20: To the Right

<t>Does anyone have any tips to beat this scenario? The best I've been able to do is 5100 points. The problem is that you are so evenly matched, there's not much chance for offensive action. While I've never come close to being beaten in the battle, I just find it hard to get points.<br/> <br/> Is t...

Re: Col William Robinson

<t>The Sedgwick scenario finally worked on the third try. During the first half of the game, though, I was getting Confederate courier messages as though they were being sent directly to me. I've had captured courier messages before and they were always identified as such, but these had no such indi...

Re: Game crashes in Scenario Eight

<t>This is the same thing as the Col Wm. Robinson thread. I posted there about my troubles with the Sedgwick scenario a week ago, tried again tonight, and the sme thing happens...after a few minutes you have no control and have to shut down. This is very frustrating as I've gotten all the way to thi...

Re: Col William Robinson

<t>This has happened to me twice in the past week. Once in Armistead, I switched to one of my TC'd regiments and when I switched back to me, I had no control over it, or over any of my other units. I restarted and it played OK since then. Just tonight it happened twice in Sedgwick, both times right ...

Re: Several Questions concerning DVD edition of the game

<t>I was thinking about buying the CD version, but had the same thought. I was wondering if you just created a new file name like "My Civil War" instead of using the Scourge of War when it popped up during installation, would that get around that problem? I'm not real computer literate. Thanks.<br/>...

Re: The Bullet is not Molded. . .

<t>As an update, I finally beat this scenario several weeks ago with the tremendous score of 4,006! Actually, I felt it was my best game tactically. After a bloody fight at the top of the knoll, I had my line down at the creek and was planning a full scale counterattack when I noticed I only had a f...

Re:The Bullet is not Molded. . .

<t>I do move artillery to cover both flanks, but haven't tried flanking movements as much as I should(some variants are more conducive to this than others). I didn't know you could retreat without a large loss of points. I'll keep this in mind. (I like to think that I didn't retreat because I wasn't...

Re:The Bullet is not Molded. . .

<t>I agree with Thresher. This scenario is driving me nuts, especially since I've so far beaten 7 other scenarios on my second or third try (even captured Cemetery Hill).<br/> <br/> The last time I played I had 5,ooo points with 15 mins. left,only to end up with 3,600.<br/> <br/> I move everybody to...
