Excellent. Ain't it great to see those yankees running from LRT while you post the red battle flag at the top. :laugh:

You'll see those same red flags running in the other direction in Sickles Stays Home. :laugh:

Indeed. The Sickles and Jackson scenarios are my hands-down favorites, especially Jackson. The sheer number of different arrival times of various units has to make it as close to a perfect scenario that can be built.

Still getting frustrated(I wish I could skip over this battle as I have played it about a dozen times and "won" about 10 of them). I try keeping my regiments and leaders on the victory locations - I pretty much always get devils den and the round top. Yet it's always a defeat or inconclusive. One game I had ALL the victory locations. Getting tired of playing the same thing over and over again!

Hi.

Have you downloaded the SDK yet? Take a look at it. It will allow you to play all the historical scenario's as custom scenario's. This way you can play to your hearts content.

SDK file link.

http://www.scourgeofwar.com/Downloads/SOWGB_SDK_v1.exe

After installing the SDK, go here to learn how to install these scenario's.

Scroll down to post #18686 (Little Powell wrote this).

Little Powell is a great resource.

Hope this helps you.

Cheers...

Thanks...although something has to be wrong.

This time I brought down the difficulty level to 1/2 regimental strength for the union, 1/2 moral. I quickly took and held EVERY objective while inflicting more casualties than my own. Still inconclusive! While the SDK is an idea, doesn't it sound like something is wrong? I mean I swept the federals from field and still cannot win!

I haven't played this one since the beta 2 patch, greywulfe. I'll look at it this afternoon and give you my impressions.
