Looks absolutely great. Quick note though: in the third picture, Gillingham's on the wrong side of the Medway.

Ah right. Thanks again Frank.

Thanks Frank.

Been a while since I've played, but from memory doesn't the red box indicate stragglers? (With a number inside to indicate strength of same). Not sure what an empty red box would mean in that case though.

I found this rather amazing: Photos of Napoleonic Wars veterans.

A large number of the resolutions shown on the Start screen don't appear to be selectable. (That said, I'm extremely pleased and grateful to see this new release!)

Especially pleased to see 1813 included .

Fantastic news!

Can't offer any suggestions to help, I'm afraid. I recently played the game quite a bit with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit without any real problems.

<t> One thing does belatedly occur to me on the range issue: after seeing an enemy cavalry unit fire at me from a couple of hexes away, the penny dropped that this fire must represent horse artillery accompanying the cavalry brigade.<br/> <br/> This idea that long range is actually 'organic' (in mod...

Ah right, good point. I'd forgotten about that feature.

Well, I found answers to my second question, while looking elsewhere in the forum. Short answer: no.

I'm still perplexed by the ranges in detailed combat though.

As I'm still learning the game, I'm not sure. But I believe replacements for units with losses arrive automatically from men in your Draft. Offhand I don't know if it's possible to control the assignment of these replacements at all.

<t> I'm just starting to learn and play the game. Several things have struck me, as I've been reading the rules, and I wonder if any of the experienced players still look in occasionally to this forum?<br/> <br/> First off: ranges in detailed battles. In division level battles, each hex is 600 yards...

I'm just in the process of learning the game and I wondered about that. Finally found the reference in the manual after a bit of searching. For economic resources, being in red means that they are expected to shrink next turn.

Likewise. I've always rated this game and I'd love to see the system applied to other campaigns.

"Sigh...This just isn't true."

I couldn't agree more.

<t> JeremyB: I agree; constructive criticism is indeed useful. Where others repeatedly bang on about the game being significantly broken (and it's the repeated part that perplexes me), that's not so much helpful, as tiresome.<br/> <br/> The Guru: Maybe I hit the wrong Reply button, but I wasn't aimi...
