Fantastic, you're finally on board. Yeah, this scenario will keep you busy for sure, and now, you've got that Reb opportunity to change history, taking Culps Hill, the Little Round Top, and the Angle...Good Luck. :)


Oh, and tell your friends at school. :P

RebBugler,

So it's possible for me to use your scenario, copy it to another name, study it, and mod it with different army entry locations and times etc? I wish to keep everything else the same. Should be somewhat straight foward if I follow and understand SDK basics? Would you agree or is there something I'm missing?

the reb,
I have no problem with my mods being modded. However, it is proper protocol if they are re-released for download to the general audience that credits are given for the original designers. Now, if you go selling it, I want a cut, or I'll sue. :P

oh no....I'm into the second hour of 3 Days, and believe me, this is the best (I mean scenario) I've played since I started playing these game some 25 years ago, really. With the TS/HPS games, I wrote scenarios for myself constantly trying to improve the AI so I would not get board. I don't think I'll have this problem with SOW.

SandBox Games are ok, but there is nothing like what you have done with 3 Days. I like the marching and the army entry at time intervals, not all at once. That's what I'm getting at.

By the way, I like how you did the OOB for 3 Days, especially assigning a commander for the artillery.

OK, got to go, Pres Debates....
thanks,
