Re:Artillery is frustrating the hell out of me
<t>What Gshock said!<br/> <br/> It is a little unrealistic to have the only "rout" behavior be packing up the entire gun and getting out of Dodge. This is one area where I think Empire: TW has the edge in realism (and I hasten to add that when comparing ETW to SOW that is probably the *only* time yo...

Re:Artillery is frustrating the hell out of me
<t>These are both great suggestions for capturing guns, and I used both of them in TC2M. My success in using them here has been mixed and that is mainly due to the tendency of individual guns to go walkabout. The McPherson's ridge scenarios are a great example of this. The Federal guns are rolled ab...

Re:Artillery is frustrating the hell out of me
<t>Having played a few more scenarios now, I'm still not sure the limber/unlimber is working properly. For example, today I was replaying the second scenario where you are commanding Heth's devision. I repeatedly gave the battery on the far left of Heth's line (I'm blanking on the name) the order to...

Re:McPherson Ridge Scenario Question
<t>Just a quick tip here. I pushed Buford to the VP immediately and had Devlin join him there with troops to secure the VP and distribute any bonuses across the entire command. I was playing this on normal difficulty and ended up with a whopping 6600 points. I'm scared to play it on any other diffic...

Re:Artillery is frustrating the hell out of me
<t>I also continue having trouble selecting targets. I'm not sure if in order to make it work it is enough to TC the entire battery, or whether you have to TC each individual gun. But TCing the battery and trying the manual targeting command either doesn't work at all (for reasons that remain opaque...

Re:Help for Heth Scenario
<t>Rushing my artillery forward was the next thing I was going to try with this scenario, but I was holding off because it seemed a little gamey. Otherwise, this scenario seems pretty difficult based on the fact that you end up being outnumbered at least two to 1 (a situation not helped by the fact ...

It just takes more computing power to render Southern heroism.

Re:Artillery is frustrating the hell out of me
<t>Again, thanks for the quick reply. Although I really appreciate the quick responses part of me feels like telling you guys to take a break from the forums! Spend time with your families!<br/> <br/> I did not notice the status indicator, so I will look for that.<br/> <br/> Both morale and ammo see...

Artillery is frustrating the hell out of me
<t>I'm posting this here because although some of what I'm seeing looks like it might be bug/design issues, I also have the feeling it might simply be due to my own incompetence (and I'm more inclined to go with the latter explanation). So any insight would be appreciated.<br/> <br/> One of the only...

Most of you won't have seen this. . .
<t>. . .because y'all are seasoned gamers and therefore don't need no stinkin manuals!<br/> <br/> But I just wanted to say to the team, nice job on the manual. Very well done. It looks slick, but has a nice balance of general and specific information. Coupled with the tutorials (which are very good)...
