Which is best.
Which is best.
Ok,i have a dilemma,i want both the games but cant afford it.i have played Waterloo and one of the Civil war games years ago.Which of the 2 offer the best value for money?I am siding with the ACW game but as the Napoleon one has Age of Sail its bugging me to buy that one.

RE: Which is best.
The music files work in the same way as the CS same as the Battle Sounds......I have to look at the menu's when I get Home....also you have little video clips you can play as the battle rips on as well.....when you cannon fires the AVI file kicks and and shows a a real crew manning a cannon and fire

RE: Which is best.
It should be working. I always turn off the visual and sound effects. That is rather odd. Ask for some tech support at the appropraite spot on this forum.

Andym,
IIRC Gettyburg is the only "scenario" without background music. There is no "background music" option in the "Option-Menue".
I´m a little sad about this as well.
RE: Which is best.
Wow. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

RE: Which is best.
Gettysburg had no background music at all. Why Matrix didn't add some I have no idea.
RE: Which is best.
I didn't know that either.
However, since I quickly get bored with the music, I turn it off on all my games. I lose the animations quickly too... they take up too much time to play.

Signature? Maybe someday over the rainbow.
RE: Which is best.
ahhh,ok.I feel better knowing that i havent been seen off or mucked the install up.Is there any way of importing the files from the other scenarios into gettysburg?
