Hi all

Just went through the download links unto my computer.After clicking the link cleared the captcha hurdle and started the download. Once downloaded I extracted to documents folder. This completed successfully so I substituted my existing copy with the downloaded version. I right clicked the gettysburg.exe to test the compatibility mode. This worked successfully. I should mention that my OS is windows 8 which may or may not be an issue with others compatibility.

At the moment there is only single player available. I just wanted to get the game up and running with the basic troop types available and then work at refining the mod with more OOBs and troop types. Shouldn't take long and if some one can do it in the meantime feel free to do so.

No specific map needed just make sure that Brandywine or the other AWI OOB is selected

HI Saddletank

Not sure what to tell you. I did do the download check onto my computer with you specifically in mind.
Will wait to see if more feedback can help the situation

Thanks for all your suggestions guys. Working OK now, running the compatibility trouble shooter seems to have done the trick......

Thanks for the work put into this mod.

They should do. I have them working on all the maps..... The Long Island oob does not always work, but the other two seem to be ok.
Also working with other graphic and sound mods.

Hi Bodkin and VW and every one else

The Long Island OOB will not yet work it was a work in progress which i forgot to delete. However I have it now complete and will upload it shortly.

Does the game crash or just not show up on opening. In the past I found that there might be one too many folders in place.Check the AWI mod folder and compare it with the organization of another mod folder and see if that is different

As the d/l works I think it must be something with how Firefox works or a browser setting I have. I do not get a captcha option, the link takes me direct to a file download dialogue, which I accept and it is an empty file.

I will try to grab the mod via a friend who I know has successfully downloaded it. I really would like to try it out, it looks great.

Thanks Remus for all your hard work. The mid-18th century is my favourite era of western warfare.

Just a thank you to remus for producing this mod, one of my favourite periods. Been playing this week and had a couple of good games. One or two niggly little issues I had to change (ie; changed 42nd from a regular infantry regiment to a highland regiment (Black Watch)). But nothing that detracted from the game as a whole. I have messed around a little and created a couple of OOB's - Camden and Guilford Courthouse.
All in a great mod. Well done....
