Devil's Den SanBox Battle

[Chamberlain]

I had a good Sandox game today, using the Devil's Den Map and Gettysburg Day_2 OOB.

The Objective was to hold M.Bushman Farm for 41 minutes...

I had also selected Brigade vs. Brigade level...

I setup my defensive position at Bushman's Farm and waited for the Rebs to attack.

It took around 5 minutes before I started to see any enemy movement to my left on Emmitsburg Road.

The Rebs setup in the woods directly in front of me in a Battle Line 200 yards away. Now, nothing happened for another minute or two. Now the Rebs get back into a Column Formation and start marching back up the Emmitsburg Road. Once they started to reach Emmitsburg, they now decided to march right back in the woods opposite me, except this time they continued to march past me and then as they got to Bishop ?, they just disappeared. All you could see were question marks on the mini map. The all of a sudden, the Rebs reappeared and started approaching my lines. The battle was fierce, I had to Regiments rout off the field. I believe I started with 900 men and I was down to around 275. I was running out of ammo and had no Supply Wagon available.
After awhile, it seemed to be a stalemate with nothing happening and it felt like I was playing for around 2 hours. I looked in the Manual on Sandbox play and I missed one very important option to selct, the Time Limit of the battle.....
I ended the game and sure enough I had no time selected for this battle.
I will say this, this was a good battle and fun. I will have to try another Sandbox battle.
Nice job guys !!!

PS... I wasn't able to locate Chamberlain in any of the OOB's, did I mis seeing him or is he hidden somewhere. He should be in with LRT :huh:

Hmm.. He should be in both Day 2 scenario's in Vincent's brigade, Barne's Division. He's in the balanced SB OOB and the full Day 2 one.

Nice AAR.

Are you stating that you couldn't find yourself ?

Thanks LP, it was fun....

After selecting the Sandbox game, as I scrolled down to select an Officer, that's where I didn't see Chamberlain's name.

Garnier explained the reason why Chamberlain is not visible in the AAR at this point in time....

Thanks

Well the regimental commanders aren't listed in the OOBs.

Unfortunately there's also no way to have them appear in game unless you put them as part of the regiment's name.
In TC2M you could set the text that appeared on each unit specifically, and while the new system has the advantage of doing some of that automatically, it also means there's no way to have regiment specific text outside of the unit name. Hopefully that will change some time because I like having the regimental commander names visible in my OOBs.

Thanks Garnier for the info...

Sounds good, maybe as time goes on they can be visible...
