Why take command of a brigade - with such a person your representing!

Major-General Winfield S. Hancock at your service, commander of the Federal II Corps.

I would assume you are going to take the correct side - the Union!

I hope to see you in command of the Federal I Corps, General Reynolds.

BAH! Federal...Correct side?...HUMBUG...I say! :woohoo:

Thank you gentlemen...I will be indeed fighting for my native Pennsylvania...though I need to learn the game before I can do anything other than a brigade and work my way up. I am extremely interested in commanding a battery as well....but as I just now bought TC2M....I need some practice. Stay in touch if you decide to create a team for I will fight with the II and XI corps any day.

And which side do you think is correct?

Those measley Confederates that can't stop General Hancock anywhere (I'll give you Fredericksburg, though.)

I think instead of claiming a high-level command can be quite stupid without actually having played the game. Which is why I consider myself a lowly cadet at West Point reading up on the books of war. When the Rebels come, that's when I fight, and pardon the anachronism, maybe I'll even earn my wings.

I think it will really depend on how many people are in the MP game. Fewer people = taking higher command. More people = going down to division (and perhaps brigade and battery levels). No problem. You are right though - it is all just talk at this point. Ephrum's trash talk thread is spreading like a virus into other threads. It's the excitement...

I agree, I don't want to take a corps or a division into battle and have 1 brigade fighting, the other eating peaches in the peach orchard, and the last one sleeping all because I am having a hard time navigating the map and my command.

I have been playing TC2M a lot working just on the brigade level and trying to take command of a battery here and there. I wonder if some online MP matches will be a division vs a division so that there is a division commander...then a few brigades underneath him. Can't wait to find out.

You can set up MP sandbox fights as small as a single brigade if you want for 1 on 1. If you specify a division sized fight, that is all that is on the field. this would handle up to 3 v 3 for divisions with 2 brigades and a division CO. We are testing various non-purely historical MP OOB designs for sandbox to see which gives the best versatility and fun.

As soon as we get the SDK out, players will be able to create their own OOBs for sandbox in both SP and MP. We expect a lot of variations to be written on OOB structure, which is fine with us. The design of the game is intended to allow easy addition of mods.

I already have an old group called the Ugli's (United Gamer's League, International), of which a few have posted here and whom I know will buy the game when it is released. I also have many others from other game clans who are looking into this game. I am trying to let as many people as I know, hear about the game, so they can pass the word. The more the merrier when it comes to MP.

Ditto with the title.

I'm sooo glad you're back Norb. I loved TC2M. You should send an email out from the TC2M site to invite everyone here.

I was looking for a forum for the old Battleground 2 game and stumble on to ya.

Looking forward to the release. If it is anything like TC2M I'm gonna be in gamers hevean for awhile.

P.S. Took a tour of Manassas last year. They don't even have TC2M in the gift shop. What a shame.
