It is already in there, Kerflumoxed. I use the sandbox all the time to set up different situations. What you do first is select an OOB from one of the three days of battle. Then you can select whether it will be a brigade vs. brigade, div. vs. div, etc. Then you select which brigades or division you want to control.

Finally, you select what type of battle it is(meeting engagement, attack, defend, etc).

Play around some more with the sandbox, I think you'll like it. :)
Yep...that is pretty much what I do. Never have been much like McClellan...seize a point...scenarios with victory locations. Rather, much prefer the "meeting engagement" ...strike and work to destroy the enemy.

Thanks

The OOB_SB_Brig_Div_Day_1 is a non-historical OOB with the artillery batteries parceled out to the the divisions. This allows you to fight a division level battle with artillery under the Div CO.

Thanks, for the "heads-up", Jim. Will give it a try.
