Anybody won the "Seeing the Elephant" scenario as the Confederates in 1.17a?

I've just played it about ten or twenty times and can't get anywhere near a victory.

Any hints for someone who is clearly still a noob after several years.

Well I loaded up my 1.06d version that came in the box and after three goes got a complete victory as the Confederates including taking Washington.

Honour satisfied.

And I got a victory taking Washington in Civil War 2 as well, although I can't repeat it. Honour satisfied again.

Kinda quiet round here these days though, everybody playing with their shiny new CW2 and its wavy flags.

Repeated it and very short AAR in CW2 forum.

But I can't do it in patch 1.03 for CW2.

I sometimes get the feeling that the more realism is built in the less fun there remains in games.

Well I tried this a few times on Colonel difficulty setting with the latest patch. The first turn, I just send IIRC Johnston's stack on Assault right at D.C. through Fulton VA and Montgomery MD. Even when I am told that I lost the battle, the bluebellies withdraw before Honest Abe can grab his hat. Game over on turn 2.
