How do you turn on overlay buttons?

<t> Hiya Gil,<br/>
<br/>
I'm sorry, I don't have a save game (so 1 1/2 hours of fighting lost......) that I can send to you. <br/>
<br/>
Could this be recreated by letting 2 Cav only forces charge each other in some kind of testing environment?<br/>

<t> Gentlemen,<br/>
<br/>
First of all, thank you for this wonderful new patch, I had so many plans for the weekend, but ended up not doing my taxes, cleaning my house or even shopping for a new suit. I chose to kill Yankees, many many many Yankees. <br/>
<br/>
One small problem though: when the ...

<t> Gentlemen,<br/>
<br/>
Can someone explain to me why:<br/>
<br/>
1) My Ironclads 'catch fire' and retreat after taking 0 damage?<br/>
<br/>
2) My Ironclads then retreat without having taking any damage and hammering the Union, leaving the entire fleet to be captured post combat?<br/>

So here's a question -- has anyone ever noticed a general starting with the right bio and then having it replaced with another, or is it always that generals come into the game with the wrong bio?<br/>

<t> Happened to me too, some rather sharp looking CSA general (Davis... something like that) guy got some Hungarian Union general's bio... nothing game breaking, but still quite annoying, he showed up after a few turns and was the first one with a wrong bio, no manic resetting on my games, so that ...

Alright, thx for clearing that up!

<I><s>[i]</s>7) After building 2 more academies as CSA, I got 2 extra Generals and was able to promote 3-4 times, tops, where o where are my extra generals? <e>[/i]</e></I> <br/>

Hmm, im not quite sure what u mean, but i get the ...

Would anybody be able to clarify things on my points 1), 6) and 7) ?

#2: Just this afternoon this was being discussed internally, and I plan to tweak the relevant file later tonight.<br/>
<br/>
#4: Yes, indeed. Read the bios of those guys -- they were not exactly among Jefferson Davis's favorite governors.<br ...

No matter how cool your troops special abilities are...... without good tactical battle plans, it's all useless. I've found that a mediocre brigade at the right time at the right place is more important then fancy special abilites.

One last thing I just realized.....

Surrendering Units are not counted properly in 'dead or captured' Summaries and Battle Statistics..... this is probably a hard one, but annoying for me, as I want to know what % of the enemy force I destroyed.

<t> Bear with me, I've had a few beers....<br/>
<br/>
I've just won my first game as the CSA (on the 4th or 5th difficulty level) and the following strike me as rather odd:<br/>
<br/>
1) My ironclads get routed a lot by Union 'wood' ships (2 Ironclads vs. a fleet of 8 USN ships) and subsequently ...

<t> Am I missing something?<br/>
<br/>
Apart from that: I love the new patch! Onward, my brave Confederates!<br/>
<br/>
P.S. Despite my manic thrashings, the Union keeps on coming! nice work on the AI!<br/>
<br/>
P.P.S. While we're here, what is the effect of Blockade fleets? (Ironclad under ...

You need to adjust the speed bar. See pg. 133 of the manual.

Aha! thx!

Please release the patch when everybody is 100% happy with it..... that means we will be 100% happy with it, and that is why we buy your games!

I would just like to add that I agree that the map is really really nice, clear (this is important) once you get the hang of 'riverbed' provinces. My grey hat is off to you, Sirs.

<r> Am I missing a button somewhere? <br/>
<br/>
I would like to see how the enemy units slowly (march) move from hex to hex instead of just 'fast-blipping' so that I sometimes lose sight of them (this is especially annoying when trying to hunt down fleeing Union cavalry need need a couple of ...

<t> Thanks again for the great replies..... but now... more questions!<br/>
<br/>
1) With the new camps system, there is no way in hell I am ever going to be able to replace CSA battlefield losses (I think), any advice?<br/>
<br/>
2) When is the next update due? My main tactic on the battlefield ...
