Yeah, those yankee artillerymen get nerves of steel after a few brews from the Appalachian Brewing Co. :laugh:

Still a tough feat, even with Anderson there though huh.

You'd think it would give requisite incentive for Confederates to quickly take it.

It would have worked on me, at least. :)

Sorry. I suffer from a serious case of typosis. Don't worry, it's not contagious :)

Little Powell: Is Gen. Pettigrew located way out in left field at the onset of the first scenario for specific reason? It seems a little odd he'd be so far from his troops. Thanks, pal!

Thanks for making my day with this addition. It going to be a fun couple holiday weekend, though my gf will probably complain. ;)

The plan worked! (it wasn't that cunning, but I did manage to plot my way through this time in one complete session without saving) :)

A real challenge http://www.norbsoftdev.com/media/kunena ... s/Unt2.jpg[/img_size]

Wow, good catch about Pettigrew. Now sure how I missed that one.

I'll fix and update. Enjoy the series. :)

I was slaughtered in the 4th scenario. Partly because the regiments would not follow the brigade commander. I tried taking control of AI and this didn't help. I had to bring each regiment in one by one. I used the up and down commander key to rotate quickly through the regiments to speed things. Alas, I only had the last regiments that I hadn't engaged when the "Terrible Defeat" notice appeared.

Piecemeal attacks just don't do the trick.

I'm really not sure why your regiments weren't following the brigade commanders. I checked the OOB and there's no mistakes or anything that would cause this. I've also tested it several times and never encountered this... hmm.

But you're right, piecemeal won't work. You've gotta overwhelm the forces around the OBJ and take it as quickly as you can.

On the last scenario I keep get an error message and the screen goes blank and quits on me. I have disabled all other mods and have know idea what is causing it. I really want to finish up these scenarios they are excellent.

When does it happen? When you start the scenario? In the middle of it? Can you please post the contents of your SOWGB.log file. You can find that in your Work folder.

I hope this isn't that carryover bug.

Just saw your question. Yes, I beat it with scores of 14169, 12220, 13569 and 9731. Not sure how to determine casualties. #4 wasn't that difficult. Pinned Harrow with Anderson and arty, marched Pender and Pettigrew around flank, eliminated Union arty with one brigade bayonet charge and brushed aside the defending Union brigade with two of mine, took obj 40 minutes in and held it.
