I'm trying to come back to this game since Grand Tactician doesn't seem anywhere near playable and I'm having some trouble getting starting. Specifically, the McClellan event in the July 1861 never happens.
I've played through November 1861 in three games now and it has never occurred. I checked the files and it looks like it is supposed to happen on October 1, 1861.
I did start one game where I did nothing except hit end turn until late October and the event finally happened in that game, but any game where I have actually tried to play, McClellan and the Army of the Potomac never come into play.
What could be causing this? McDowell sometimes will take Manassas without a fight, but he is always beaten whenever a Confederate army does show up. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Is there something I can change in the file to make sure the event ALWAYS fires?
Thanks.
