Well after a year of pissing about playing Sandbox I'm finally going to try, and win this game once, and for all (I want my Generalship).
Anyway, I would like to know if there is a list of scores I require to make for each scenario so I can finally say I did it (I sure as hell can't win this game with my looks).
Another Question: Do I require to play both sides?
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll definitely appreciate it.
Time to stop screwing around with Sandbox, and get serious.

Mike,
There's no list of scores but each Major Victory score is listed in the Battle Info when you launch the scenario or look at it in the Gettysburg screen. Also if you look in the SDK,all the scenarios are there and are identical. You won't get General's stars for beating those but you can look in the info.txt to see the Major Victory scores there as well.
Good luck to you. I've got one left. It's a hell of journey for sure but well worth it. Keep in mind you won't be able to use any mods except for custom keyboard commands you put in the keyboard.csv file.
Also make sure you backup your ...\Work folder which has your highscore.dat file and cont folder in case your system crashes.

This is very good advice. Yes, you'll have to play both sides. By doing so, you get a fairly good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of both the Union and Rebel armies. Good luck in your endeavor.Also make sure you backup your ...\Work folder which has your highscore.dat file and cont folder in case your system crashes.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I didn't know that about the work folder, now that is good to know.
Oh one more question, at what difficulty level do I need to have it set too? Please don't say Grognard.

You'll have to set it to Normal or above if you really want to be considered a general. Otherwise you're just a poser.
