The Full Battle of Antietam
I would just like to mention that one of the scenarios included in the upcoming Antietam battle pack will be the Full 11 Hour battle from the Confederate side. All forces are available to you as they were historically. Events will happen as they did historically, with variants of course.
Initial testing has been producing some awesome results. The scenario plays out quite historically and you really have to be on your game or you will be easily overrun. You must shift your forces around the field to meet the attacks without putting all of your eggs in one basket, just as Lee did.

Are there plans for a full-on scenario from the Union side?

There's a full Union Army scenario, but it isn't the full 11 hour day. I'll let RebBugler go into details though as he's the designer.

How would you simulate the extra 80,000 confederates McClellan saw?Are there plans for a full-on scenario from the Union side?

True story: as it turns out, McClellan was under the mistaken impression that the sprite ratio was set to 1:10 instead of 1:1 :silly: . Looking forward to all of the new scenarios and maps! Keep up the excellent work guys!

Re: The Full Battle of Antietam
I would like to say, because Little Powell won't, that he is the designer of this scenario and it promises to be great.
He and RebBugler have produced a terrific lineup of scenarios which will challenge and entertain you for a long time. Those guys don't get enough credit and my hat is off to them.
Enjoy.

Re: The Full Battle of Antietam
This means that the scenario contains "all" the map of Antietam?I would just like to mention that one of the scenarios included in the upcoming Antietam battle pack will be the Full 11 Hour battle from the Confederate side. All forces are available to you as they were historically. Events will happen as they did historically, with variants of course.
If I have not misunderstood, this expansion is "historical"!
It will be interesting to emulate Lee!
Good job!

Re: The Full Battle of Antietam
Yes, the map of Antietam is 5x5 miles. It covers all the areas of action plus some. There will be two versions, a morning map and an afternoon map which are basically the same map, but with different scenery.This means that the scenario contains "all" the map of Antietam?I would just like to mention that one of the scenarios included in the upcoming Antietam battle pack will be the Full 11 Hour battle from the Confederate side.
