Congrats on your MV. I knew you'd get it.

Now try to beat it with leaving the arty in their starting locations...

Well you can later.. Move on to other scenario's for now. :laugh: :)

Woot! Someone won a scenario! I'm not sure how many Yankees will need to be killed before I win one. Lots of them from looks of it. I kind of like that. :)

Ive played this scenario probably 5 times and have never had Pettigrew or Brockenbroughs men show up? So there is a possiblity of variants like this happening? I wasnt aware of that this makes things definitely more interesting.

Last night I fired up SOW and Played this particular scenario. To my suprise Pettigrew was dispatched very early on and made taking the objectives surprisingly easier... I pushed with Archer and Davis while bringing up every battery available. Then as Pettigrew was entering the fight here comes Brokenbrough.. needless to say I had plenty of troops to hold and push the yankees a long distance.....

Good to hear! Isn't it great when they show up?

Oh yea it was a definite relief. This was the first time I had that variant. Its pretty cool that the scenarios change each time.
