  1. Hi, Now, .. that would make more sense. Having your Leaders/Generals at risk, and possibly wounded or killed .. might certainly change the outcome, .. but only if the individual qualities of each Leader/General is modeled/simulated. I think that UGG is a great recreation of the B of G, .. beautifully presented, .. and certainly worth far more than the asking price. I'm not sure if we should expect such intricate details e.g. Individual AI per General etc., .. given the additional work, that I'm sure that that would entail. .. perhaps an .. Ultimate General Gettysburg: Advanced Edition .. is on the cards somewhere down the road. Cheers Tom
  2. Hi, Historically, certain forces and leaders arrived at the battle that was to become Gettysburg, .. all that matters, really, .. is that they arrive at the correct time and location. What happens after that is up to you .. irrespective of the Scenario, .. historical or hypothetical. Who got killed, and when, ... becomes less significant. It's the Battle of Gettysburg that's significant, .. and how would you have fought the battle, .. using your available forces and under whose leadership. Cheers Tom
  3. You're joking right ???? What's the point of playing a historical wargame, .. if the game has to automatically keep correcting (e.g. kill off Reynolds) to maintain historical accuracy. So, what you are saying, .. is that nobody should play as the Confederates, .. as historically, .. they didn't win, .. and that the game should automatically ensure you can't win. Now, ... THAT ... is beyond just silly. Cheers Tom
  4. Hi, I've noticed, .. with the release of the most recent patch, .. that Unit Icons ONLY appear on the Battlefield Map itself, .. and not off map (but still on the mapboard) like they did, prior to the patch, .. and only when the entire Brigade is actually on the map. For me, .. this has presented a couple of issues:- 1. Playing as the Confederates, especially given their colour, .. if the entire Brigade etc. is not on the Battlefield, .. it is difficult to see the Brigade, as half of it is off the Map (and no Unit icon). This is especially difficult when zoomed out, and the brigade might be positioned along the top edge of the Map. 2. When units have retreated, .. the might have retreated off the Map edge, .. but not off the mapboard itself. Without the Unit icon cue, they are essentially lost to the battle, .. as they cannot be seen. Although, on one occasion .. I saw them withdrawing off the map, .. and clicked around in the brown area of the mapboard, .. and was able to find them again. I've had a couple of Brigades just disappear on me, .. and I know they were close to the map edge. Given the location of some of the battles, .. you have no choice but to fight along the edges of the map. However, with the latest patch, you risk the possibility of losing some of your Brigades for the duration of the Battle, .. as they are situated (fallen back or retreated) slightly off-map. Was this a design decision?, .. Cheers Tom
  5. Hi, I don't get the Red either, .. just, as you say, .. the FOW black. Cheers Tom
  6. Hi Nick, I'm not sure that options 1 and/or 2 would help during the thick of battle. Might still be difficult to find them. So, that would leave Option 3, .. which makes the most sense. In Fact, .. I'm playing a battle at the moment, .. and I'm buggered if I can find my Confederate 2nd Corps Commander anywhere .. .. unless he went for tea or something. So, option 3 would definitely be viable, .. however, that's not to say, that you couldn't give us all 3 options .. A Corps Commander should be more easily distinguishable on the Battlefield. Thanks for considering this. Cheers Tom
  7. Hi, Just wondering if there was an easy way, .. to find ones Corps General(s) on the Battlefield. When things starting getting hectic, .. which they often do, .. I really have to strain my eyes to find the Corps General(s). How about, .. if you select a Division, .. and click/double-click on the Commanding General's icon in the top left, .. that the camera will center on the Corps General. .. or, clicking on a Division, .. would also highlight the Corps General. .. or, .. something like that. Just a thought. Cheers Tom
  8. LOL ... the message on the screen that General Whatsisface is attacking from the grassy knoll etc. ... if you click on those info messages, the camera will shift to focus on that area. Cheers Tom
  9. Hi, If you click on the message, .. it will take you to the appropriate location. Loving the game as well .. Cheers Tom
