I absolutely love it im very pleased, well done everyone involved A special thanks to Reb Bugler for the Grog Toolbar its great made things much easier.
Im getting much better performance than I ever did in Gettysburg probably twice the fps.
One thing id love to see would be a mini Waterloo oob perhaps 20,000-30,000 per side based roughly on the real oob so that full armies could be used. I find I end up with just Cavalry or Artillery at times in sandbox. I know it wouldn't be historically accurate but would be great for sandbox play.

takes a little practice and you need some camera elevation, but not much.
What about when you don't have any camera elevation? For example if your HITS distance is set to 2 yards? The sweep arrow needs a set of turn buttons backing it up in the context menu.
Wheel buttons Sir, the slow but reliable GB way...plenty available on the Grog toolbar, made sure of that. If you have a disdain for toolbars, then program them on the keyboard.csv file.
Bugles & Flags Gettysburg - Toolbar, Flags, Scenarios, and More...
We made the default interface for the newer players. Which allowed Reb to go hog wild with whatever he thought you guys would want in the grog toolbar. We were very afraid that we would not be able to ship it. But we actually had a few weeks in the end where we were able to make the gui moddable. Reb was all ready to go, so there you have it. Separating the guis ended up being a good idea. Since the experienced players are more familiar with modding, it made sense to put the grog in the mod and allow out of the box for newbies.
Quick go with the tutorial,then straight into the full battle as the allies.
It runs great,even at the later stages(I've got to 1600hrs in game),the game looks superb,and the improvements you have made to the AI are obvious and give the game a "grand" feeling.
I left the game running to itself for a little over an hour,came back and found my generals had carried on holding our line,Houg't was holding out despite another attack,the centre was looking a little weak,but I sorted that. I'm a lazy general so it's good the AI can get on with the battle without me.
I'm another one of those who's unsure of the new interface,but that aside,thanks for for a great game.

I have a problem with the Grog Toolbar. One block of the commands sits in the middle of the screen, right in front of the action. There's a blank brown-wood space down on the bottom bar where these commands are probably supposed to be, but they're up near the middle of the screen instead.
I'm using Win 8.1 (Win7 compatibility set) at 1920 x 1080 with standard 96 dpi.

The Grog toolbar produces very small buttons as another post of mine mentioned elsewhere. Their small size makes the toolbar awkward to use at high screen resolutions.

You should be able to get the full armies in sandbox with the current OOBs. If you pick Wellington you should get Wellington and Blucher. If you activate the 'Full French' mod in the mods menu you can then pick Napoleon and get all three armies on the map. But that is nearly 300k+ troops...
