Real minor newb question - Prolly TC related ...
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2013 6:10 am
Howdie folks:
First some short back ground - I played a bunch of the first TC game. Didn't play the second; just getting into SOW.
Also played Sid's Gettysburg a ton ...
So I plowed into this yesterday and ran through the tutorials. No problem. Then downloaded the big full-battle scenario (Because, of course, that's what I liked to SP most when I was playing SMG!)
On my first run through, this was the problem I encountered:
Davis and Archer chased away the cavalry - I did this with a lot of micromanaging regiments. Usually I would set the brigade commander off in a direction, get 'em in formation, and then micromange through contact.
But at some point (Actually as the iron brigade was running away), I lost the ability to use the brigade commanders this way - I'd move Archer, for example, to a spot, and hit column to get his guys to regroup, but none of the regiments would respond.
I'm guessing from reading this forum this has to do with the TC button, yes?
.... and since we're asking questions ....
In the scenario, Ewell of course is there on the far left flank. I sent him a courier that just said "Attack the enemy in your front," but he never moved. I was just trying to get him rolling, figuring I'd go over there and micromanage once I had Heth's front stabalized ... but like I said - he just sat there and stared at the I Corp troops lined up across from him.
Thanks!
