This is a companion mod with 'True Ground Maps - Gettysburg - The Big Picture'. The two must be enabled together for this mod to function as designed. This mod must be prioritized below the 'True Ground Maps' mod in Modifications.

DELETE True Ground SR1 II, it has been discontinued as of August, 2023

This SR1 (1:1 Sprite to Soldier Ratio) mod features company and battalion level units. With company level play, regiments with 350 men or more are divided equally, or close to, into 10 companies. Regiments with less than 350 men are comprised of the number of companies that when divided up maintained at least 35 men per company, or close to. Battalion (2-5 companies per battalion) level play is less performance demanding and will be used generally with larger sized battles. Battalion based scenarios are identified by btn after their scenario number. Battalions INFO

Bugles & Flags (B&F)
'True Ground SR1' is designed to be used with B&F (Bugles & Flags) activated. To eliminate this dependence rename 'STOCKgui.csv' to 'gui.csv' in the Logistics folder -- Rename or delete original. Once this is done all SR1 scenarios and OOBs in this mod can be played without B&F activated. Both gui files are edited to reflect SR1 echelon changes, regiment to company, etc. If not already done, this same procedure must be followed with the gfx file in the 'True Ground Maps' mod.

Priority Order in Modifications:

Deactivate True Ground SR1 when not in use as it will erroneously display officer portraits.

'True Ground SR1' revisits GB and B&F scenarios, and introduces new scenarios designed for the Devil's Den or Gettysburg 9 Mile Maps, now scaled for more realistic distances and closer to real time play. Scenarios are prefixed with 'GB1, GB2, or GB3', depending on which day of the battle they represent, followed by their scenario number, in this SR1 series.

Well, after months of preparation, we have SR1 play lift off. How far it flies is anyone's guess. Regardless, I've entertained myself sufficiently while developing all the files necessary for this ultra-realistic form of battlefield recreation.

Merry Christmas 2019 to All, and Happy Holidays to Others...now you've got some battles to fight...

Merry Christmas to you as well---and to all!

And wow! Such are wonderful new dimension and scale to the close combat within the Devil's Den.

Brilliant, my friend!

GB2-11_GB12-July2-The Peach Orchard (C-Brig)

This scenario retains all the scripting of the original with the following additions:
- Extended play 10 minutes
- The 7th New Jersey regiment, 150 yards to the east, moves to the objective once activated. Normally this regiment remains in reserve as Graham is overwhelmed. This should deter 'gamers' from rushing right in to the hold objective, substantiating the saying...Fools Rush In.

One minute left...

My final test score. This final version took me several tries before a Major Victory...So, replay value

GB2-12_July2-Barksdale, The Longest Charge (C-Brig)

This scenario is still as tough to beat as it was historically to win, but this version makes it a bit easier. Instead of having to go up the ridge through Willard's troops to get to the final objective as with the B&F version, with this version your mission ends at the Plum Run, just below the ridge. This was actually the historic stopping point, so more appropriate anyway. By no means did that provide for any kind of victory for Barksdale's brigade historically, but it will for you, if you accept the challenge of this scenario.

Took this shot a few seconds after End Game, actually gained a few more points. Still, with Willard's troops bearing down, it was time to hightail it west...

GB2-13_July2-Graham, On Dangerous Ground (U-Brig)

Situation:
General Sickle's salient has positioned your brigade on the front left flank. The vulnerability of the left flank is obvious. Rebel infantry is already approaching from the south to test that vulnerability, while ominous sounds of the enemy massing in the woods to your front cannot be ignored. As their cannons begin finding your brigade's range, you know the main attack will come soon, you are indeed "On Dangerous Ground."

Forces Available:
Brig. Gen. Charles Graham, commanding Graham's Brigade, 1st Division, III Corps, Army of the Potomac, under Major General Daniel E. Sickles

57th Pennsylvania, Colonel Peter Sides
63rd Pennsylvania, Major John A. Danks
68th Pennsylvania, Colonel Andrew H. Tippin
105th Pennsylvania, Colonel Calvin A. Craig
114th Pennsylvania, Lt. Colonel Frederick Cavada
141st Pennsylvania, Colonel Henry J. Madill

Attached Regiment:
2nd New Hampshire, Colonel Edward L. Bailey

Attached Artillery:
Battery E - 1st Rhode Island Artillery, Lt. Bucklyn
Battery C & F - Pennsylvania Artillery, Capt. Thompson
Battery G - First New York Artillery, Capt. Ames
15th Battery - New York Artillery, Capt. Hart

Brigade strength: 2211 troops and officers, 22 guns
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is indeed dangerous ground. Initially I tested with Graham's brigade only and after several play-tests I couldn't score a positive engagement grade, no matter what defensive I tried. Solution, gave player control to the four closest artillery batteries. Then came the attachment of the 2nd New Hampshire since this regiment was positioned in the middle of Graham's brigade and demanded player control. Even with this 'Super Brigade', I think most folks will find this a very difficult Major Victory endeavor, I did. Almost settled for a Minor Victory posting for the promo here but buckled down and just barely reached the Major Victory bar the next evening. So I proudly present this MV post, it wasn't easy by any means.

The credit for the success of this scenario goes to the Rebel AI. All I did was move them forward to the objective, gave them Blitz (All Out Attack) orders, and they did the rest.

A head's up with the artillery, some of the guns are split from their battery. To reunite the guns move the battery commander to new locations first, then give the formation, otherwise guns will move to where the commander was previously before moving to the new location. This is the same with all units, just more acute with artillery control.

Just hanging on after 45 minutes of Hell, time to do the historic thing...Retreat

GB2-14_July2-The Excelsior Brigade (U-Brig)

Situation:
Positioned behind General Carr's brigade, your brigade has remained in reserve since the opening salvos. But that's about to change! After crushing Graham's brigade at the Peach Orchard, the rebels are presently reforming and bringing up their artillery to that elevated position. They are setting their sights on General Carr's left flank and your newly ordered defensive position, an oblique line connected with Carr's brigade, facing southwest. Despite this hastily formed defensive line you have confidence in your soldiers and officers. Not only will they fight for their lives, they will follow orders and be determined to live up to their brigade's name, Excelsior, boldly supporting its call to 'Excellence of Service'.

Forces Available:
Colonel William R Brewster, commanding The Excelsior Brigade, 1st Division, III Corps, Army of the Potomac, under Major General Daniel E. Sickles

70th New York, Colonel J. Egbert Farnum
71st New York, Colonel Henry L. Potter
72nd New York, Colonel John S. Austin
73rd New York, Major Michael W. Burns
74th New York, Lt Colonel Thomas Holt
120th New York, Lt Colonel Cornelius D. Westbrook

Brigade strength: 1844 troops and officers
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two courses of action are featured so be sure to read 'Gameplay' in this scenario's Intro to understand the options. Basically, once you achieve a grade of 500, two objectives will be available. The objective chosen to go for will decide the course of actions, either attack or withdraw while fighting. I suggest saving the game at that point, then complete the 'Historic' version. This way you can use that save point to improve your score from, opting for either objective to go for. Frankly, after many tries, I've been totally unsuccessful at taking and holding the 'Peach Orchard' (What If) objective.

SPOILER: SHOW

Another playing option is go after the 'Peach Orchard' objective from the beginning. I tried this once and was almost successful. Got the engagement grade up to 500, setting the objective, by capturing guns, sacrificing several companies in the process. Once most of the guns were captured or driven off I was able to move more regiments toward the objective. However, after all that maneuvering and fighting to get to the objective my troops ran into a rebel regiment sitting on the objective. Spent the rest of the scenario time trying to dislodge the rebels, to no avail, Major Defeat.

So, went back to the drawing board and re-scripted the situation guaranteeing that the 'Peach Orchard' objective would be at least easy to activate, just not easy to hold. Because, Wofford's brigade is waiting anxiously to attack the objective, once it is activated. Making this once again "Dangerous Ground", this time for 'The Excelsior Brigade'.

I never got around to testing this new scripting, just figured it would work. I plan to get around to testing this eventually, maybe someone will beat me to it and report on whether it's a viable option, and has the possibility for Victory.

Anyway, here's my 'Historic' win...As 'The Excelsior Brigade' exhibits their "Excellence" while screening the withdrawal of Carr's brigade

GB2-15_July2-Carr's Brigade, Retreat to Victory (U-Brig)

Situation:
For over an hour now you have heard the roar of battle gradually approaching your brigade's position. It has now arrived, and has engulfed General Graham's brigade at the Peach Orchard immediately to your south. As blinding gunsmoke accompanies the roar, blue coats can still be seen fleeing the field. Within minutes, as the roar dims and the smoke clears, only gray uniforms remain where Graham's brigade was once positioned. The rebels are presently reforming and bringing up their artillery to bear on your position. You adjust your left to face the danger from the south only to suddenly sight a rebel battle line to your west. Up to now the rebel picket lines to your front posed no threat, but now the threat is real. You are about to engage in a battle with attacks from two fronts, south and west.

Forces Available:
Brigadier General Joseph B. Carr, commanding the First Brigade, 1st Division, III Corps, Army of the Potomac, under Major General Daniel E. Sickles

1st Massachusetts, Lt Colonel Clark B. Baldwin
11th Massachusetts, Lt Colonel Porter D. Tripp
16th Massachusetts, Lt Colonel Waldo Merriam
12th New Hampshire, Captain John F. Langley
11th New Jersey, Colonel Robert McAllister
26th Pennsylvania, Major Robert L. Bodine

Brigade strength: 1723 troops and officers

This scenario involves withdrawing to and defending two positions, then counterattacking to Victory. Similar to the Excelsior scenario, this sequence begins once your score reaches 500.

This was my last play through and End Screen MV, December 24th, before releasing this mod the next day...Made my Christmas deadline!

Carr1 MV.jpg (481.76 KiB) Viewed 7193 times

Missed getting an action screenshot so played this scenario again 24 hours ago to get an informative shot as well as introduce Crikey's new map update with some extra screenshots.
Despite my best efforts of repositioning, my 500 score was late, I had previously honed it to under 14 minutes after many many test plays. Got concerned when it took almost 20 minutes to hit 500, therefore beginning the retreat sequences.
Anyway, nice contour work by Crikey...

Just completed the second 'withdraw to' objective. Two objectives await, time to counter charge.
More nice contour changes at the Plum Run...

With one second left, my early concerns were warranted, 33 seconds late...800 points would have been awarded.

This was supposed to be a Major Victory presentation. I was confident in my knowledge of this scenario, yet still the enemy AI confounded me. Just goes to show, nothings a sure thing when confronting the SOW AI.

Still need to test the Devil's Den area of the map before adding Crikey's update. So far so good with the changes.

I'm really looking forward to the complete (merged) version.

Thanks so much Reb and Crikey.

@Reb, what am I doing wrong here? I see all of the scenarios listed here but I'm getting this weird graphics glitch that makes everything look like minecraft.

Please help? Reb, anyone?
