Yeah about the detached brigades; I know that can be a pain. That was always one of Marks methods to add a little more challenge to some of the scenarios and to simulate an un-organized attack that happened historically. No offense to mark but I personally have never been a fan of it. I'll see about removing those detach commands in the next update.
Glad you're enjoying the scenarios.

This is one of the reasons I submitted for a command feature, and got...Aattach. It is on my toolbar mod and of course, may be placed on your keyboard. Besides countering scenario designer hurtles, it's also handy for attaching captured guns.

I take it having just purchased the game - version 1.3 I think - that these 15 scenerios are in my game ?
It would be helpful to know what add ons or mods (?) are available for this game and how to load them.
So much information is scattered throughout the Forum it would be nice to have a section on what is available for the game that is not already a part of it and how to access it.
Not sure why you assumed they were included in the new release. Read the first post here.

I know - us newbees suck but unless I spend all day reading 3 month old posts and trying to figure out what version of what to add to what and how to access it within the game that doesnt leave much time for playing. Some day I'll be as knowledgeable as you. Thanks for the list tho.

Forgive me. I was a little grumpy last night. You're right about the confusion. It's the nature of the board and we all go through it. I would suggest you make use of the search function when possible. It can save you a lot of time and helps keep down the number of redundant topics.
Hats off to LP for taking the time to try and consolidate the mod list. It's not like he doesn't have enough to do already.

See original post for version 2. The additional five scenarios were requested earlier this year (or was it last year?). They were supposed to be released along with the new CD version of the game, but when we teamed up with Matrix, they released their own CD version. So here they are. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks to the newbie who posted the question about this bonus Gettysburg mod. I wasn't aware of it until now and I look forward to playing these Gettysburg scenarios.
With all the new folks showing up on the board after buying the games because of the publishing deal, I think it would be a good idea for us to be friendly first before "Going Grognard."
The more the merrier, and what may be a dumb question to a veteran player is likely a valid query to someone else who is new to these wonderful games.
