Polite request for a small patch to fix Fredericksburg buildings

The new maps are fantastic and I'm enjoying some good battles on them, Salem Church is th emost interesting one because of Fredericksburg and the heights with the earthworks on.

I found myself in HITS mode marching my troops through the city yesterday but came across several buildings that had not been placed properly. Unfortunately it seems to be all the big prominent public buildings and in most cases it should be a matter of a few minutes to get these embedded down into the ground correctly, or in the case of the railroad depot, shifted a few metres to the side.

I see ony two bigger problems, the large grey brick church with the blue doors is sited on a distinct slope and unlike your usual practice, its not been modelled with a deep basement section, thus, while the street-facing front steps are on teh ground, at the river end its floating several metres in the air. A new basement section would have to be constructed to fix this one.

The other biggie is the wooden railroad trestle. The current model is completely inadequate and is placed much too low. Can a new railroad trestle be built that fits the location please?

Using HITS the game gives a whole new perspective on PC wargaming but coming across these mistakes really kills the immersion.

Thanks for the thorough report Saddletank. Now that we can patch the expansions, we will start to log issues like this and release a patch soon.
