I wonder what the limits are with current PCs?

Martin - How is everything going!

I think that the biggest hit towards the game is still the "Road Marching Calculations".

I did experiment with a "Twenty Mile Map" once and the game didn't crash, but the FPS were extremely-low, and that was before adding anything to it, such as fences and houses.

SO, not sure where the limit actually is, but I can still enjoy the game with very low FPS and it doesn't bother Me. Some Players complain about the FPS, I am not among them.

I thought I'd like to try the new map, but the link has disappeared. Is the map download still available?

While I'm on line, I thought I'd like to express my thanks to all of the skilled creators of the Mods. I like SOWGB. I like it better the Napoleonic game. I enjoy reading all the comments. Except for a few stalwarts,I'm sorry there seem to be so few interested players any more.

Trying a tilted Mini-Map - several days and still can't seem to get it tilted enough while keeping the icons fairly close to their actual positions.

The union first tried a mass assault on the center near the town of Gettysburg.

With very little gain they then move units over to the extreme left.

When that failed they moved a very large force on a round about to out flank my forces.

Three Brigades must hold until help arrives.

Couriers have been sent to all available units too move the right to assist in holding back this assault.

I'd say that was a bit too golden.

Some pics here when we were discussing the same thing.

Your colour however would work well if you wanted to set a battle in low angle of sun conditions (dawn, early evening).

Attempting a folded looking Map, there is a Youtube video on this, but I can only follow some of it.

Thanks again for the great map.

Just curious, why did you eliminate Pardee Field and its stone wall from Culp's Hill, and several more stone walls from areas like Cemetery Ridge?

I'm not complaining, just wondering why the decisions were made. Thanks!
