<t>It took me a while to figure-out that the Historical difficulty level was giving ahistorical boosts to the AI unit leadership and experience levels.<br/> <br/> I started playing Historical with the Lynchburg add-on with the "Crook to Reconnoiter" scenario. And I was a little puzzled why a signifi...

<t>I didn't want to start a new thread and so I thought this one would work for making some comments on the Historical difficulty level.<br/> <br/> I've been playing at the Historical difficulty level going through the scenarios from one of the Gettysburg bonus scenario packs.<br/> <br/> I played th...

<t>This is an incredibly easy scenario to win even with HITS. All I did was move Captain Hazard to the victory location, order up Perrin's battery to the stone wall, and then just sat back and watched the points rack-up. With the exception of ordering a couple of my beat-up batteries to pull-back an...

<t>Apologies for necro-bumping this ancient thread, but I won my first HITS battle with "Sickles Stays Home" so I feel like boasting. (I played a custom difficulty game: normal settings, HITS, couriers, and minimap icons set to "All in 700 yards" so maybe not the most impressive HITS victory, but st...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>You must be playing big battles, I mean at corps level at least.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Yes, I really noticed this issue on the corps level battles.<br/> <br/> After practicing HITS with the Lynchburg add-on scenario, "Crook to Reconnoiter," in which you command a small infan...

<t>I recently started playing HITS mode and having a lot of fun with it. Lost every battle I've fought, but it has been fun.<br/> <br/> However, I am bit frustrated with the minimap icons options.<br/> <br/> Initially, I was playing "Historical" difficulty which gives you a blank map. That'd be fine...

<t>This one was a lot of fun. I've had Gettysburg SOW for two years now, but only now just getting into the game. (I'm a huge Civil War buff. However, I took an extended hiatus from my favorite historical subject due to real life and other interests, but this summer has seen me returning to it with ...

<t>It's disappointing to hear that the skirmish formation is only "for show" in SOW.<br/> <br/> I had noticed that it doesn't really work as a skirmish line with sprites on the far ends of the formation being incapable of creating a LOS or initiating combat if an enemy unit is out of range or the LO...

<t>I surprisingly I won a major victory (5,083 points) with my first real try at this scenario. (I know it was changed in one of the patches to make it easier, but still I was surprised especially since I'm nothing special as a player.)<br/> <br/> This is how it happened:<br/> <br/> 1) Based on the ...
