Re:To the Roundtops

How do you take any of the objectives? I can't even capture devils den even if there are no ifantry on it, the artillery battery there routs you every time you get men near it.

Re: Moving Artillery

Thanks, I knew there must be a way to do this I just couldn't figure out how, being able to move artillery forward should make things a lot easier!

Moving Artillery

<t>Is it possible to move artillery batteries or are they always stationary? I can see commands to turn them left and right, but the left and right oblique and flanking commands that the infantry have aren’t present. <br/> <br/> How do you get them to advance into range and provide support? Do you n...

Re:To the Roundtops

<t>The scenarios are difficult, but in a good way, after years of playing the Total War games it’s nice to finally play against an AI that makes intelligent decisions. The bayonet charge that routed me the last time I tried to take little round top was really unexpected, some union infantry charged ...

Re:To the Roundtops

<t>I’m still not having much luck with this; I tried sending the whole division across the river and over round top to attack little round top. It’s as bad as Devils Den!

Re:To the Roundtops

<t>I'll give it another go, if I can manage to hold on to culps hill I should be able to take the roundtops! <br/> <br/> One thing playing this scenario has helped me to appreciate is how difficult the terrain was in real life, you don't get a full sense of how nightmarish it must have been to try a...

To the Roundtops

<t>Has anyone managed to successfully complete this battle yet? I’ve tried it several times and I keep getting massacred. <br/> <br/> Attacking devils den directly is a waste of time, so I tired to outflank through the woods, which went well at first as I shot the union infantry to pieces from the h...
