BloodBath VI
Re: BloodBathIII plus Rebel Big Browns
yes, speaking of horrible- try taking enemy artillery pieces with infantry- I appreciate the realism- I believe in flank attacks with diversion towards the center to keep them off balance- nothing is more crushing than encirclement that is surrender time- that is what happened in 1865 to Lee

Re: BloodBathIII plus Rebel Big Browns
Yes, that was pivotal. Battle of Stalingrad was the bloodiest battle in the history of mankind. Highly motivated German army- 1942. Giant subject 
Re: BloodBathIII plus Rebel Big Browns
I thought RB might appreciate this. From a book I'm reading.
"Battery B went to double charges of canister. Regulations called for the powder cartridge of the extra round to be knocked off so as not to risk a burst barrel, but that was a technique beyond the skills of one of the infantry volunteers serving the battery in the crisis, and he kept loading full double charges; somehow the Napoleon withstood the strain. Men were literally torn apart by this storm of fire. A Union officer saw a shot strike home and "an arm go 30 feet into the air and fall back again.... It was just awful" "Whole ranks went down," Gibbon wrote " and after we got possession of the field, dead men were found piled on top of each other.""
I'm waiting to see that in BloodBathIV

Ahhh, good old Battery B! If I remember correctly, I believe they did something similar at the barricade near the Lutheran Theological Seminary on July 1st at Gettysburg as well.

Re: BloodBath IV
Finally installed this MOD, it's a keeper. Outstanding, good job RB.
Re: BloodBath IV
This is such a cool mod! I played sandbox and let my brigade get flanked like crazy just to see what it would look like with all the blood(it wasn't pretty)
Yes I know I spelled Armistead wrong but the correct spelling was already taken
