Ancious to beat the game, eh?
BTW< we know what the fix for Stannard will be. Any idea what the fix for Armistead is supposed to look like?

Sorry no ETA at this time. It depends on the results of our MP test tonight and a couple other bug fixes.Do we know when the next patch will be out?
Re:Stannard on the Flank
Just replayed this one on SOWGB pre-beta version 1.000. As I had suspected, it plays much differently. My Vermont regiments seemed less likely to rout, and the Confederates don't seem to be as aggressive on Stannard's end of the line as before.
Scoring is the same as far as point per turn, but on this one, I barely broke a sweat racking up 4496 points. As I have said before, under SOWGB version 1.01, getting 3500 points is an accomplishment.

That's strange because nothing was changed that would have effected this scenario. And there was definitely no change to the time it takes for regiments to route..

Re:Stannard on the Flank
I've been bouncing back and forth betwee version 1.00 and version 1.01. Here is what I am seeing: In version 1.0, Stannard can occupy the victory location and often only engage the flanks of Kemper's men as they advance.
In version 1.01, there is an extremely high likelihood of Archer's troops coming all the way down the length of the line to engage Stannard and attempt to occupy his victory area. This is typically enough to contest the victory location for 4 or 5 minutes, and to rout at least one of Stannard's fragile regiments. This behavior seems to occur regardless of Stannard's actions (i.e., if Stannard is aggressive, they come; if he is passive and holds back, they come). It makes no sense that the AI would send Archer all that way to engage Stannard, but it does. The situation at the Angle does not seem to impact this behavior.
I have screamed for arty and infantry reinforcements, but these take a critical few minutes to get there. Given that, I think that you may eventually need to look at both an increase in points as well as an increase in time to 1 hour to make this one reliably winnable. In my latest iteration, I did better than usual against Archer (and got some infantry reinforcements, for once), but only scored 3500 points. With the points increase, I could count on another 550 points from the first part of the scenario, and another 750 or so from the latter part. This would have given me a total of about 4600 -- a little short. Perhaps the new patch will see Archer's abberrant behavior corrected; if not, a littl emore time might be necessary.
