Hello everyone,

I am working to modify the original Evans brigade scenario. My end goal is to keep all of Burnside's regiments except the 2nd Rhode Island out of the fight until a given time, to recreate the confusion that led to the initial piecemeal commitment of Burnside's brigade. I thought that I could "detach" the regiments at the start of the scenario and then give "attach" orders when I wanted them to be available and have Burnside call them up to complete his brigade line.

The problem I am having is that the regiments only stay put for a certain period of time, then move forward a good 30 minutes prior to the time I set in the battlescript.

Is there a better set of commands I can use to get the effect I am looking for? If need be, I can attach my Excel battlescript file - it's still a bit rough, trying to get the other units to arrive on the field when I want them to.

Thanks!

Doug

Yeah, the AI doesn't see detached, it's just useful through user control or scripting that doesn't allow the AI to take over.

I think your best solution here is to use the hideunit and showunit commands, treat them just like reinforcements. Ahideunit for brigade and above...

RebBugler,

Sorry for the late response, but your suggestion worked like a charm! Now I can get the 2nd RI to be out there by their lonesome for a while before anyone else comes up.
