Just a "simple" request: could you please reconsider the balancing effects of having elite units with elite weapons (above all skirmishers)? Don't know if this has been addressed already, but a new player would, without doubt, try to create THE cool elite brigade. Elite weapons are scarce, which is excellent, but if that new cool elite skirmisher brigade has to face 3 enemy brigades with even better weapons next battle, the new player would not experience the rightful reward. Because there is none..

Replayed Gettysburg, Campaign CSA and I might have found the explantion to my earlier "bug". I might have "contested" cemetary hill on day one not long before the timer ran out. If I then pushed "Finish" when the timer ran out, it might have been "contested" but not taken. Thus, no victory on day one. Lee might have been a bit cautios ;) The consequences are tough though; leaving cemetary hill temporarily just to make another go on it day 2. Dunno if I would call this a bug, but waiting another second or two could have an enormous impact on the outcome! I'll try to verify this shortly.

+1 Good point Grinning, also noticed that. But did you "loose" cemetary hill before day 2? I found the yankees back in their old trenches.

That might be it. But I also noticed now that you played historical, and Im in campaign. Could be a difference there. Thinking I'll replay though, just to make sure if its a bug or not. Taking the hill just to give it up because of problems at Round Top doesnt make sense, imo.

That must have been before the hotfix, right? I took it, but battle didnt end. Moreover, I mysteriously gave it up during the night, making day 2 a whole lot harder. Dont know if its meant to be like this...

Well, after the hotfix it isn't. I took cemetary hill on day 1. Easily I would say. Battle didn't end. Then proceeded to Round Top, where I had brought my reserve, understrength corps. I got a severe beating, to say the least. Outnumbered maybe 5 to 1 or so. Back on cemetary hill again and....it's under UNION control for culps battle!! Confusing bug I would say. Or....I would have to accept the fact that Lee decided to retreat from Cemeterý Hill hearing of "Longstreets" beating? Nah, that doesn't fit with the commentary screens...
