You should have your Antietam code. That was included with your purchase. If it's misplaced, email SOW and maybe our tech guys can look it up...this is not my area, sorry.

Success....I figured it out. I'm in!!!!

I used the Norb download, may be the same as the Matrix. Anyway, in reading these threads, something was said about getting a Serial Number and you had to go in to the registrys. Who am I to know the difference.

Anyway's for anyone else confused, you don't have to deactivate and you use the Activation Codes, there is no need to go top the registrys.

Is this correct?

There are a lot of troops scripted, but it seems to run fine for minimum required specs, since no complaints as of yet. I assume you have those? A decent video card and at least 2 GB of RAM?

Hey RebBugler.....

I don't understand why 3 Days wont work. I just loaded the 10 mile map....no problem? Switching subjects, I have been reading the SDK and you put alot of time into writng the script for the 3 Days....alot of work, I understand the work.

Guess what...I'm interested in writing my own 3 Days in 7 hours and just may need your help. I've designed alot of TS and HPS scenarios in my time, so I'm understanding what is being said. I do understand this is more complex than TS/HPS.

Give me a direct link to your 3 Days/7 Hours, maybe I am using an outdated link?

It's all fun....

Try the one in Bugles and Flags v10, it's got DRF in it's name. Also enable Turbo Flags with it, that'll help FPS.

Also disable Gettysburg_3Days_in_7Hours in the Modifications window as it also has the DRF version included. If GB 3Days works with Bugles and Flags, go ahead and delete the previous version from your Mods folder. Thanks, you're helping me test and upgrade these.
