Thank you for all the hard work in getting this map together and making it available. I've downloaded the Planning Map and saved it for future reference.
Lodilefty, Siekster, Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly respond to my question. I understand now. I've only won this scenario once as the Brits (36 points to 34 points) and to this day I can't remember how I achieved that! I'm going to accept my stalemate as being fortunate! :) Thanks again...
I just earned a stalemate in the 1776 Carolina Scenario as the British. At game end I held both objective cities: Charleston and Wilmington. I also held four of the Strategic Towns (Charlotte, Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta) even though according to the victory conditions I only needed two. But I...
Siekster, I've found that playing the British side in this scenario to be uphill all the way. I've only won a single time (36 points to 34 points while winning Wilmington and Charleston as well as holding my cities/towns). I think I won that time because Moultrie abandoned Charleston and attempted t...
When I access the globe (lower left of main screen), I can only get my Forces Listing. The remaining 3 tabs such as: replacements and status of game to-date are missing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time.
I may be doing something incorrectly, but when I view the content of TerrainsModJuly 7, 2007.zip, it's contents are the same as TerrainsModJuly5.zip. I appreciate your assistance.
Well said runyan99. My experience so far is parallel to yours. I agree that a random delay mechanism is called for. Just curious though - (this just occurred to me) - have you experimented in using a forced march to get Washington to Reading? As of this writing, I'm not sure if that would have an im...
Hi Pocus, I'm running version 1.10e. In the 1759 Annus Mirabilis scenario: When I click on the John Stanwix portrait in the stacks and messages panel, the unit detail panel has "Clarke" at the top while still listing John Stanwix at the bottom. Coincidentally, they both have the same ratings for str...
Pocus, I solved it. I ran Dxdiag and accessed the "sound" tab. Using Microsoft Help, I found that my Basic Acceleration tab was set to the extreme left. I moved it one notch to the right and exited. I started BoA and the sound worked as you designed it. Thanks for your offer to help. Bob
Hi Pocus: During the load process and the initial screen, the music plays properly. But as soon as I select either the tutorial or the 1776 campaign, the music becomes very distorted - as if each note is dragged out and even with some slight static in the background. The battle sounds are likewise d...
Markshot: My memory is not what it used to be; but I think I recall in David McCullough's (sp) 1776 , that the Colonial troops on the hills around Boston filled barrels with dirt. The purpose twofold: 1) to protect from hostile fire (although I'm not too sure how effective the barrels would have bee...
Good discussion. It seems to me that the act of entrenching be tied to the presence of "supply" units. I cannot see a standalone regiment(s), out in the boondocks, going through the motions of erecting formal redoubts without the presence of "supply". I mean, is every other trooper - in addition to ...
7.5 states that a 1 star can command 2, a 2 star can command 4, and a 3 star can coomand 12. Page 12 of the rule book states that a 2 star can command 6 and a 3 star can command 18. Which is correct?
Also, 7.5 includes supply units in the mix - the rule book excludes this type.
Hi Pocus: I asked this question in MarkShot's latest thread: Why do the Americans start with 10 victory points in the 1776 Carolina scenario? I note that both sides start at zero in the Yorktown scenario? Thanks for your time. This is an intriguing game and you and your associates are doing an excel...
Thanks for the link. LIke I said, I had the feeling there was a nuance or two regarding VPs that I was just not seeing. I'll take a look at the link. Thanks again.
Markshot: I downloaded the demo today. I played the tutorial several times to get the feel of the game. Then I played (several times) the recommended Carolina 1776 scenario. To tell you the truth, I'm mystified by the victory conditions. Each and everytime I've played the scenario, I end up retainin...
Hi All, I'm positive I saw a reply to a similar question elsewhere in this forum, but I've searched and can't find it. So here it is... I'm purchasing the download today. After doing that, must I first install patch V1.01 and then V1.02? Or does V1.02 also contain the changes made in V1.01? Thanks f...
The February viewing schedule is not out as of this writing. I would assume that any re-run will be a regional one instead of a nationwide showing though. But if I see anything regarding a rebroadcast, I'll post it.
For those of you living in the USA and interested in this game and time period, be advised that the Public Broadcasting System will air a two part nationwide special on the French and Indian War - 1/18/2006 and 1/25/2006. See: http://www.thewarthatmadeamerica.org/ for more information.
