Changing commander for historical scenarios

Post by Rich »

Hi all. I got Scourge of War fairly recently and have no experience modding. Is there an easy way to "unlock" the OOBs for the historical scenarios, in order to be able to play those scenarios from the points of view of different commanders? For example, I'd like to be able to play the Pickett's Charge scenarios as either Lee or Meade or the second day left wing ones as R Anderson.
Thanks.
Rich

Hi Rich. Welcome to the forum. There is supposed to be a version of Pickett's Charge out there that lets you control any commander on the field, either side.. But for the life of me I can't find it..

Does anyone have this? If so can you please zip it up and attach it in a forum post.

Hi, the NSD sample 1 mod - lists both commanders in scenerios in Pickett's charge- go Lee- McClellan would have made a great president in that election 1864- just check off that mod

Yeah that's the one, but I can't find it posted anywhere on the forum. That's why I was hoping someone could upload it.. Or you can just email it to me at matt @ norbsoftdev dot com.

The one here doesn't have it, only the brickyard scenario:

I checked both the 1.2 beta and the 1.103 SDK's and they don't have it.

Ah, it does come in the 1.2 patch. Thanks rclark14. I must have deleted mine by accident or something.. :blush:

So yeah Rich - You should already have it installed if you have the latest patch. Just enable it via the Modifications menu. Load it up, choose any commander, and have at it. :)

The Bugles and Flags mod also has a Pickett's Charge 'Commander Select' option. Also, I designed a Union version.
