I have finally posted the Antietam scenario and the graphic package that comes with it in the mods/scenarios section. Have fun!

I have finally submitted the Antietam scenario, you can find it at the top of this thread with instructions on how to install it togehter with the graphic pakage that comes with it.

You playing vs the AI?
Could you post a screen grab of the Red Army inventory at your current turn? (just the top of it I am sure it's pretty long )

Tx for the AAR!

Below is the replay of the whole scenario withtout fog of war. It was a lot of fun to play with Alan Sharif. It made me pretty confident that is possible to use the current version of the WEGO engine to represent operational campaigns set in other epochs.

Now I need to put the finishing touches to ...

TURN 16 (this 'd be roughly at the same time of the real battle of Antietam.

NOTE: Confederate Forces have a light lower counter, while Union Forces have a dark blue one.

After easily taking Harper's Ferry Jackson's Corps retreated with what remained of Longstreet's Corps. Alos note Stuart's ...

Argh I have been lazy and failed to take a screenshot of the battle. The image shows the aftermath with a just a few CSA forces remaining.

Jus a few general notes.

With Longstreet separated from Jackson the Union was able to strike a critical blow to the Confederates, using I Corps as anvil and ...

Here a situaltional/planing map 3rd scenario - 6th Army Strikes campaign:

Awesome! Please tell me, how make the Arrows?

I used Photoshop

It appears that Lee's Army has split in two, with Longstreet's Corps aiming for Baltimore and Jakcson's Corps for Harper's ferry. This is fun and a big deviation from the historical campaign.

on turn 8 I realize Longstreet got caught in between two roads, which causes its ...

UPDATE 8/26/2024

The Corinth scenario and the American Civil War graphics are out in the MODs/scenarios subforum.

Making progress with Antietam.

The Corinth scenario and the Americab Civil War Graphics are now available! Just get them at the top of this thread.

V1 release (with a lot of help by user Hellway !) - 8/20/2024

You need it to play the "Corinth Campaign 1862" and the "Antietam Campaign 1862" scenarios.
Look for the ACW scenarios in the same Mod/Scenarios thread. Corinth has just been released and Antietam will follow shortly.

This is not a ...

In WEGO each unit TOE can only have vehicles, guns or men, depending on type and also icon.
So a motorized brigade or an AA unit might have only vehicles ..I will check.

The important thing is only the Strength of a unit affects game play, not the TOE !


The long answer: The TOE was added to help ...

I finished Human vs Human testing with user Sharif (there is an AAR in progress in the relevant section) and in the process of scripting the AI.

It's taking longer than expected as it was not designed explicitly for this kind warfare....

AT6south.png



One more Corps joins McClellan Army to provide a reserve and help destroy the isolated Confederate divison. BY splitting his Army in 3-4 parts I feel my opponent underestimated the Union when so close to its main supply lines. At this point all the Union Corps that participated in ...

Lee splits his Army in two, Jackson's Corps (the faster) marches West to surround Harper’s Ferry and Longstreet's Corps (the bigger) heads towards DC (or Baltimore).

Bold move, but my opponent is impetous and probably hopes to catch me unprepared (which I am).



I decide to focus on Longstreet ...

always great bumping into you on the Russian plains...

Turns 3-4 (Union Perspective)



The time needed for the Army of the Potomac to find/engage Lee's Army AND to get ready for a major engagement gives the Confederate Army time to achieve its goals and space for maneuver before it runs out of manpower and resources. This tension between urgency and ...

TURN1 Harper's Ferry was a vital node along a major railway between DC and Ohio. Cutting it was a main goal of Lee's campaign. Harrper's Ferry was a well defended position along the Potomac, but easy to surrround and hard to reinforce

TURN2 Here is Jackson! I think...my brigades ...

This an AAR of a test game of the Antietam 1862 scenario, with user Sharif. I will use it to highlight the main strategies of American Civil War warfare as I have introduced them in this scenario and with the WEGO engine.
I had a lot of fun playing the Union against Alan's Rebels ! Btw the scale of ...
