Stannard is left alone maybe 1 in 5 times based on my experience. By the way, according to the instructions, Stannard has the 12th and 15th Vermont. They never show up when I have played this scenario. Is this a bug or a typo?
They are in the intro screen, but you don't get them in the scenario. Good eye. I'll bring this up with the designer.

What was the value of the objective changed to?

The first OBJ has been increased to 100, the next one that pops up in the same place has been increased to 200. Still tough, but definitely winnable now.

Doh -- I may have jacked it up to Seasoned. Arggghh!

I'll try again on regular difficulty.

When does it switch over? With half left or so?

Thanks.

It switches at the 13 minute mark.

Just beat this one when I got a version that left Stannard mostly alone. Now, let's see if I can get Dick Garnett to help Armisted out by attacking anywhere NEAR the angle.

Hi, I just played the Stannard for the first time and noticed these missing units. What is the status of the fix for this and the scoring issues? Thanks!

They are not supposed to be there, but still showing in the scenario description. Type-o.. I thought it was fixed too. I'll make sure it gets taken care of by the official patch.

The 12th and 15th Vermont regiments were detached to guard the main supply wagon depots. It is an interesting speculation of what Stannard might have done with an additional 1200 soldiers.

Little Powell-oh, I see-they weren't meant to be available in the scenario.

Jim-yeah, it'd been nice to see what the additional regiments could've done. I could use them-this is one tough scenario!
