Sandbox Optional Way to Fight Just Awesome

[drypowder]

Ok so Go into Sandbox Pick Division vs Division and also make sure Balance Forces is checked. Ok then CLICK on a Brigade only 1 brigade is highlighted. maybe you all know all this but anyway when it starts .. The ONLY thing you can do is control your brigade so you can micromanage it and watch everything it does and that happens to it .. I like to take off ai control and move them around to all sorts of contortions and flanks against the enemy. In the mean time the other units your friendlies that you can't control their is only a courier option thing they move around and perform whatever the scenario is defend or attack an objective.

I did this crossed a street just in time with my bridgae in column formation to get onto another road to flank around what I thought was their main body comind down the road as I went up the other road I ran into 2 Brigades !!! with my 1 Brigade. ....


Hats off to the Development dudes This game is a 10 !!!

Your superior AI commander will also give you orders on where to move, although it has looked quite confused as to what it's attempting to do in some of the sandbox battles, when I've tried to follow it's orders in the past. :huh:

yeah exactly thats cool too I had to disregard in the situation I was in can't wait to play another one we won they routed now I gotta tweak the points needed and even mess with more than one objective etc. but yeah its great.

[NefariousKoel]

Make sure you put at least one Victory location in - that should lessen the AI's wandering some, I'd hope.

[drypowder]

yeah im gonna play with only one for awhile


I gotta tweak down my graphics I put stuff up to high I clicked on default but even with a restart didnt change nutin ...

Check out the GCM single player campaign, Drypowder. They're better games than sandbox and you get your own division to carryover battle to battle.

This is one of my favourite ways to play - although occasionally you get ordered to be the strategic reserve, which leads to a boring hour or so. I usually just restart

IIRC you can take part in the full Antietam scenario as a brigade commander, or a battery commander. It's brilliant.

Same here.
When I see my Division not moving with the rest of the corps I use to restart.

If you are not in the mood of commanding great forces Brigade commander is a very fun role to play on great battles. Missions and orders and objetives.

Perhaps Artillery commander is the definition of boredom. But anyway I have never tried it deeply.

If they send me into strategic reserve I just do a George S. Patton and Recon in Force ... Uh joint the fight ... yeah lots of times they send me to a position where there is nothing but crickets chirping ...
