- Adjustments to the toolbar text to better align with the portraits area. This was done primarily to improve text placement on the Western themed toolbar with the soon to be released
Red River Campaign 1864 map and battle pack. Prioritized below B&F, the RRC mod will be completely compatible.
- Additional minor gameplay improvements
Bugles and Flags XII - July 1st 2013
Patch 1.61 compliant
Portraits updated through the latest expansion, Brandy Station
New Toolbar Additions
Square formations are now added to the infantry and dismounted cavalry (Dcav) regimental level toolbars. This formation has been toned down from the Nap version of -250 to -150 (MeleeMod column, Drills), as ACW cavalry used pistols and also shot carbines from horseback at close range, so I surmise that breaking a square while remaining in the saddle would have been much less difficult in that era. Still, this formation will prove the best for resisting not only cavalry charges, but infantry charges as well. Most assuredly, a vital tool in the B&F arsenal.
All Rebel and Union Regimental Flags re-designed and in HD (High Detail).
All CS Flags in CV Extras are now represented in HD.
When B&F XII is positioned and enabled below CV Extras, all Rebel flags and all Union Regimental Flags will be replaced in HD.
Four additional regimental Union flags added - Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and are included in all B&F VII OOBs that represent them...20 total.
Some new and re-released Rebel cavalry flags are now available to add to the latest release, Brandy Station.
Redesigned and new to B&F is the 75th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment state/regimental flag. Regarded as the state flag at the time, this representative flag (styled as the National Flag and denoting the specific regiment, honors, with the Pennsylvania state seal in the canton), was carried along side the National flag, and an additional third flag, called the regimental flag was sometimes included. Pennsylvania was the only state in the Union that followed this protocol of displaying three primary flags (since the SOW engine can display only two, the third optional regimental flag is excluded).
Pennsylvania battery commanders will retain the state seal flag from previous versions.
150th-GB01-July1-Gettysburg Day One (C-Army)
New scenario added commemorating the 150th Gettysburg Anniversary. It's revised from the 3 Day scenario series with new scripting (Yanks are tougher), plus historic objectives are included now. In addition it's not SR10, it ran fine for me with the stock ratio, usually 10 FPS and better throughout the 150 minute length. This is the first of a new carryover scenario series, hopefully coming soon through this thread, so practice and score big to improve your odds of winning Gettysburg for the South, YaHoooo!
Bugles and Flags XI - 13 February 2013
Patch 1.6 (coming soon) compliant
Portraits updated for next expansion due out early this year

Revised Infantry Brigade Assault Formations

All Rebel and Union Regimental Flags re-designed and in HD (High Detail).

When B&F XI is placed below CV Extras, many of the CV flags will be replaced in HD.
Splash Screens revised and updated to reflect new flag format.
Bugles and Flags v10 - 21 August 2012
Updated to be compatible with patch 1.5, including commander portraits for the next expansion.
Bugle calls are now significantly muted for more ambient effects.
Edited hold form formations narrowing the distance between rows.
New Division Assault Formations.
Smaller map icons for better alignment clarity.
Numerous fixes and minor upgrades.
Splash screens now represent all expansions.
Bugles and Flags v09 - 21 March 2012
Complete redesign of all flags. The flying carpets are replaced with newer, more cloth-like models. Also, performance should be much improved by condensing the graphics files from about 30 down to 4...kinda like texture packing.
Toolbar - New upper level commands for moving troops, all officers now can order formations and move entire Corps and Armies.
Completely compatible with patch 1.4 to 1.5...
Previous Post - September 2011

Scenarios
PC08-July3-Pipe Creek - Rebel Breakthrough (U-Army)
Originally designed for the PC map pack, PC06, 'Rebel Breakthrough' was scraped for not following the storyline of afternoon battles and CSA arrival times. Planned on more variants, but this one variant should be a fun challenge for most folks. With the design of this scenario, I wanted to give the Yankee folks some solid offensive action, since all the Union scenarios within the PC pack are defensive in nature.
Depending on time and feedback requests, I may design a Rebel version of this scenario...just ask.
BTW, you must have the PC map pack to play this scenario as designed.
This set of scenarios is the same as the release of 'Gettysburg 3Days Carryover', but with DRF included.
GB3D1-July1-Gettysburg Day One (C-Army) SR10 DRF
GB3D2-July2-Gettysburg Day Two (C-Army) SR10 DRF
GB3D2B-July2-Gb Day2 - Wolf Hill Line (C-Army) SR10 DRF
GB3D3-July3-Gettysburg Day Three (C-Army) SR10 DRF
GB3D3B-July3-Gb Day3 - Wolf Hill Line (C-Army) SR10 DRF
