Bugles and Flags Version 02

[RebBugler]

Spent a lot of time on the new scenarios, mainly learning and testing the new scripting tools and commands...and wow, much more design flexibility with SOW over TC2M. Still a lot to learn and test, but these initial scenarios should demonstrate well the new design possibilities.

Bugle Calls

These calls are similar to the stock versions, all calls performed also by me. Some have been upgraded (re-recorded) and there are additional calls included. As you will hear, several calls are assigned differently and the volume of the calls is slightly louder...my mod, my preferences. Files are included, you can fix them your way, the beauty of modding. Attackmarch and another advance (ACW Charge and forward) are included with v02, in addition, several upgraded calls.

Damned Red Flags - DRF (no changes with v02)

DRF is coined from the main reference I used: Richard Rollins, The Damned Red Flags of the Rebellion. Represented historically, most of these 47 CSA flags flew over the 'Ground' of Gettysburg, July, 1863. State flags remained rolled, used here for state personality and gameplay, for Lee gave orders that all battle units would only carry the Southern Cross. New flags were issued in the months before, but many units chose their own unique Southern Cross versions to carry into battle, their flags being an important part of their spirit and pride. Some units carried their local flags along side the southern cross, several Stars and Bars were flown. For sure it was a colorful, red dominated array, which sent chills among friend and foe…those Damned Red Flags.

Toolbar

The toolbar has all the same commands in the same places as the stock game. I've just added commands as per my preferences, use them if you want, or mod them your way, the gui is the source.
Included commands are:
Advance – move forward quickly
OOB navigation
Introducing with v02 - BAM - Click B A M for immediate immersion and action!
B (Be the Unit)Follow - handy to move with the unit
A attackmarch – much better attack control than TC, with better results
M Move fast in attack column...split command - column/run, positioned next to Attackmarch for fast assignments
Zoom - available for friendlies
Line commands are spit to provide the option of holding formations in lines
Atcommon and off
Getaway - short retreat
Attach Guns - Not available yet, wish list for SOWGB

OOB's

The included OOB's enable Sandbox play with this mod, they are the same as the Sandbox versions, these end with DRF. One is modded for a brigade battery mix, BB.

Scenarios

The two Pickett's Charge scenarios are updated, plus:
