Hooray! Yes the other members described what I was experiencing. Looking forward to edits!

Update 3.9, November 14, 2022 - New Download Location
Misc edits for improved play-ability

Primary edits involved the scenario CHI02-Three Bridges (U-Div)
- Added a popup window at 7:30 to give the player a heads up of where their troops must eventually retreat to. Also sets an objective at that location.
- At 7:45 all the bridge objectives go off. A courier message will order a full retreat at that time.
- All objectives will require only an officer to activate and receive objective points. This allows the player freedom to locate all their regiments away from the objectives to establish more effective defensive positions.
- Added more possible points once the final objective is reached.
- Decreased all the objectives' radii to 50 yards to help minimize the chance of enemy intrusion.

These changes should ease the burden of conquering this scenario. Originally it was a tough nut to crack, too tough. I think it discouraged many folks from continuing on with this carryover scenario marathon. Still, it's not an easy scenario to beat. It requires constant attention as the player learns how to address the Rebel hoard that's attacking all three bridge objectives at once. Then, there's the challenge of getting most of your troops to the final objective, and holding it till nightfall as the Rebel swarm continues their onslaught.

One second left, and my mouse-hand is numb... Satisfaction...

Thanks Reb

Download link was fine, game loaded with no problem and at 7:30am received the popup window 'Retreat' message....

Reb this is amazing! Works like a charm! Thank you so much!!

Is there a way I can modify unit stats? I noticed that my calv units can't charge artillery units in certain situations and I was wondering how, if possible, I could change this? Also is there a general way to modify other unit stats too?

Your cavalry won't charge probably because the artillery is in the woods. Other 'can't charge' situations include cavalry units being tired (Fatigue level) or with a low morale level. Since Chickamauga is saturated with woody areas, I'm guessing it's the woods that's blocking charges. Furthermore, cavalry can't charge infantry either if it's situated in woods. Still, if your timing is right, they can be dismounted to fire, before they automatically retreat once they enter the woods and attempt to charge.

You can't modify this situation, that I know of. If you haven't, check out the SDK to learn what is modifiable.

Thanks, this is very helpful. Where do I find the sdk file (is it a file?) ? I would love to get into modding this game.

The SDK thread offering its download should be in this section, but even if we find it the download link is probably dead because of website changes. Anyway, here ya go:

Fantastic! Thanks a bunch! This will be fun learning the ropes of this. If I ever manage to do anything noteworthy I guess I can try to share
