Hi, I was wondering why the guns are usually on the end of the the forces in the Sandbox mode? I'm really used to them being in the rear like they are in TC2M, not close to the same battleline as the troops.

For me their location has always varied. We tested MP last night and both games my artillery was far to the rear. But I have also seen them on the end of the battle line, but they are usually farther back than the infantry.

Hopefully, this is not too far off topic...

I just selected a battery within an artillery brigade to play a Sandbox, Corps vs. Corps.

After the shrubbery was planted and the spacebar gently nudged, I went to the map to see my location. Lo and behold, my battery was the only friendly unit displayed. What happened to the rest of the Corps?

Same thing happens when I select a division of artillery...nothing but artillery on the map.

Thanks

Which OOB were you using? It had to be some sort of fluke. You should have had the rest of the Corps on the map.

As far as the the Division of Artillery, it's possible the forces balanced out that way. In that case try reloading the SB game again. The SB system is great, but sometimes you never know what you are going to get.

Hi Matt,

Single Player
Sandbox
Map - Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble
OOB_SB_Gettysburg, Day 2 DRF

Thanks

PS: Just tried it without the DRF and it loaded fine for both Divison and Battery with the entire corps displayed on the map.

Ahh.. I started to suspect it was a mod issue.

You'll want to direct that to Mr. Rebbugler in the DRF thread. Might have something to do with the OOB structure.

Aweomse, write that guy some bugs! He writes enough on me that he deserves some of his own

Yeah right...Norb :woohoo:

Regarding the DRF oobs for sandbox, I made no changes in structure. These should be exactly the same as the stock oobs with just the flags changed. I'll test it out and get back to you on this one.

Just tested on the commercial release, latest patch, DRF mod enabled, and no problems. Had the single battery under my control, and the rest of the friendly Corps was present. No bug that I can see. Since you did not mention what option, I picked line of sight no objs.

Have battle selection as Hunt them Down, Objectives for these two efforts. No Corps showing on map.
