This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.
Finished with 424 good men after deeming it impractical to take the eastern heights. This has to have been the most fun and realistic scenario I've played.
Finished this series tonight. All MV's and had 754 men left. Scores were 2121, 4684, 3654 and 1591. All I could do was stare at that last VP. Just didn't have enough left in the tank. I was kind of sad to see most of my brigade scattered all over the ground. I really like carryovers and I think these are the best I've played yet. That's so much for all your work on these.
Regards,

Great to here you guys enjoyed them and thanks for the kind words. Carryover really brings a whole new aspect to the game doesn't it. Now try beating them in HITS... mwahaha...
Perhaps no one has noticed, but there may be a small timing issue in scn #4. The map says hold for 4 min to get 200 pts, but the timer counts down 5 min intervals. Caused me to miss a MV by 2 min the first time by taking the knoll too late.

You must be talking about the North Houck's Ridge OBJ. It is set for 5 minutes. If you can hold it for 5 minutes, the final OBJ (and hardest) will appear. I'm not sure how it showed you 4 minutes on the map. I'll have to try that out.
Just wanted to mention; there has been an interesting discussion on the Wheatfield battle going on at MHO. I was trying to get some thoughts from the experts on why Ayres Union division didn't completely pulverize the rebels when he attacked near the end of the fighting. This portion of the battle is depicted in the final scenario of my series. There were several interesting responses, but this one sums it up the best:
Quite apart from the notorious discussions about Sickles, might we reflect on Longstreet's claim that this battle witnessed the "best three hours of fighting ever done by any troops on any battlefield" ?
This might be the crux of it all...the rebel infantry that attacked in that sector was at the apogee of its wartime effectiveness : well armed, highly motivated,with excellent morale and led by inspirational commanders at all levels. Those Southern soldiers were skillful and turned their advantage to lethal account.
