Perhaps pip can post a file that we all ca use to switch the flags when we switch over to play a scenario as the Germans. Maybe this is the easiest way. As worded, the instructions are not complete enough. Thanks..

"+ the icons need to be switched around. You need to grab the UNITICON texture from CORE\ and pop it into your custom campaign directory, then swap them around." What is meant by "them"? Them refers to >1 item. But here, only one file is mentioned. I found the UNITICON file and p...

I am posting here and just got BA2 out of curiosity. On Steam they claimed an editor came with the product. While I knew this is light wargame, I paid 40 bucks just to see why this product has been rated so high. The editor was key however. I have published many combat mission and command mod ops sc...

Thanks I see the deployed units and the battle now "runs" . Still not sure how to set the turn limit. I see the hours to dusk and mins/move option. Does that have anything to do with the turn limit? Or is there a box to fill in having the exact turn number? Another question how do you add ...

Thanks. I see the basic map when I start a campaign, but the battle ends when I start it. So, I guess I need to specify the number of turns and/or add some units to the map. I think I can handle the later, but how are games turns specified.

Trying to understand the editor and with trial and error, I think I can make a basic map and populate it with a few units. (Very basic) However, at that point, how do you convert the map into something that will launch within BA3? Can't find any reference to this key step. Once I have something work...

Thank you. Are they produced by the same developers?

On the surface, the mechanics seem similar. Other than a change in era, what else is different with FoG2? Thoughts?

I think I see a tiny 1.04 all the way on the left hand side (center) of the opening screen on my Steam version. If I am reading that correctly, Steam players have been updated automatically. I will get my magnifying glass to verify.

By flanking, I was suggesting a positive fire modifier for the attacker firing into the rear or flank of a enemy facing the other way. Fire coming from the "rear" three hexes for example. This a common practice in board games. I think you are on the right track re: FOV and C2. Nothing need...

My Slitherine account info gets me in. That was not obvious. Thanks for pointing that out.

Kevin

Within the game, the software will not create an account. Is this feature active?

Kevin

Thanks. By series, do you mean the 4 games from Shenandoah Studio? The first three are not hexes based.

Four things I would like to see after playing all night for the first time (apart from fixing the killer advance bug): - Fog of War - Some form of command, control and leadership system - Flanking fire effects (apart from being surrounded) - Ability to rotate the map to north south east and west vie...

Any chance the game will get an editor for OOBs, unit placement, objective placement etc.. I know there are other priorities. But we all enjoy our editors

Can report that the game crashes on a Confederate AI attempted advance in the "Best 3 hours" battle. Played several times as the Confederate human vs Union AI without issue. The attempted advance was at or near the Round Top hex. I am on version 1.03 from Steam. I will keep playing a bit m...

Thanks, I found the game manual over at Steam as well. So I will take a look.

Kevin

Actually, I would like to info before buying. So if you can provide a description of how/if terrain effects combat and LOS it would be great.
Thanks
Kevin

I have not found a description of this yet. How do things like elevation and woods effect LOS, cover and concealment? Additionally, what is the unit scale and range over which combat takes place.
Thanks
Kevin
