Yes, but I'll try again from a different email address, just in case.

Edit: Sent from my UC Davis account. Let me know if you receive it. Cheers!

Sorry. I suffer from a serious case of typosis. Don't worry, it's not contagious :)

Ok, I'm using your NSC (cont) file now and the latest save. I'm 20 minutes into the scenario, still have control of all units, and no crash...

If I could re-produce the problem with your files then I could send it to Norb and have him take a look. But since I can't (which means he wouldn't be able to re-produce it either) then unfortunately there's not much I can do.

The only thing I can think of is that something happened to your game files when you upgraded from 102 to 103 (like you mentioned).. That has to be it..

I know you had such a high score but you'll need to start the series over. Good thing you only played the first scenario. :)

If it happens again (fingers crossed) please let me know. I'm betting it'll work fine.

LP,

Lord above, I have been sooo busy that I haven't had any free time to play. Well tonight I grabbed an hour and did the 1st AP Hill scenario. I really liked it. I seemed a lot like the game scenario. Now the difficulty I always have on your scenarios is that the carry over makes it very difficult in the last 2 scenarios. I had good score of 8400+ on the 1st one but I fear I went out too fast. Same thing happened in the other carryover set you did. Great scores the first 2 scenarios and then there is no one left in the ranks by the last one. So I'll try to grab an hour tomorrow and post back. Your mods are always first rate.

Regards,

Thanks Greg, glad you are enjoying it.

Little hint; For this series, you should reserve one of your divisions and try not to use them in the first two scenarios. :)

The AI kind of did that with Anderson. Ewell was a big help on my left also.

Just beat the series tonight. All of the scenarios were well crafted. Quite challenging. I beat "end this fight here" with a score of 9700 on my first try. Wondering if anyone has ever topped that?

Awesome score! You blew the Major Victory score away.

I'd love to hear from other folks and their scores. It's true they are challenging, as you are trying to change history and win the battle of Gettysburg as the Rebs.

And thanks for the kind words. :)

Little Powell,

Your A.P. Hill series still will not load for me. The files are in the Works folder and it fails to initialize... it stops at "setting chain of command" or some such. If I put the file in the Mod folder, it comes up in modifications in game, but can't play it. Everything is blacked out.

What files do you need to see what the problem is?

Cheers. Colonel Dreux.

You'll need to unzip the package to your mods folder. Mods\AP Hill Carryover Scenario Series\ - and in this folder, OOBs, Scenarios, Intro.txt

So your folder structure should look like the attached picture.
