I'm a bit confused

The NOTES columns at the end of the setup spreadsheet do not have that squiggly character thats not on my keyboard on the column header. There are blanks in these columns. I find the comments useful. If you (or I) moved these comment columns to the last columns of the spreadsheet, the problem would ...

G&G and Gettysburg

Martin Sheen was a better Lee. Movies were made in wrong order, with clearly older actors portraying some of the same characters. I sat through G&G because I was rooting for the speechifying Stonewall with the phony beard to get shot. G&G cut Antietam as it would not fit the portrayal of Lee as the ...

It seems to me you just need to pick the right moel or unit. There are not too many. See my 1812 oob thread. I believe trying to squeeze brigades into preset units that are not an exact match causes the game engine problems. Very good idea about command penalties for armies contrlling large numbers ...

Sickles sniffed out Jackson's flank march at Chancellorsville, but was not allowed to move forward.

The Reb attack is delayed by a good two ho...

Napoleon's campaign plan

His plan envisaged a left wing, right wing and central reserve under himself. The composition of each wing might be altered as circumstances warranted. Ney only took command of the left wing on the 15th. As such, historically there should be three army HQs. Given the scale of the scenario and map, i...

The problem exists here whenever the setup file attemps to squeeze elements into preset unit types that are not an exact match. If the units file says unit_type1 has model_type1|2 and model_type2|1 and the setup file calls unit_type1 and assigns it Custom_name|Custom_Name|NULL the unit is not displa...

JSGME quick question

Does it support using multiple mods at the same time? I'd like to mod units, models and perhaps other common files seperately. I'd like changes to these files to apply to any scenario mods I do.

Part two...

Definitely not what was wanted! If the problem is not on my end (do others get the same ingame results?), what is the cause? This screenshot shows division dissolved and reformed. I've lost the regimental names. I've seen similar things in other divisions, so the problem is not isolated to one unit.

Thanks. Would a supply wagon first provide such attrition help, then other supply functions? Is there a priority for the supply wagon to supply the stack it is in, or does the algorithm push supplies to needy adjacent units, if more is on the way from the rear?

Nachshub ist nicht Verstärkung

A translation example. Nachschub is supply, Verstärkung is reinforcement. I was suprised to see in the English version of NCP units named Nachschub that were reinforcements, not supply. I guess it is difficult to satisfy all language versions, or to decide how to mix region names in various versions...
