Bah, talk, talk, talk!  Where is the video of limey squares coming under mass cavalry attack?  Bah!  ^-^

It doesn't happen in the game since the units are not 1:1 representation... You can't have a nice massed cavalry attack.

Bought it. Looks good and runs well. I like the new interface. I like right clicking on an areas and having the menu Pop up...juts me.

Anyway to download a PDF manual? I have it on my computer but it's a pain to email it to myself so I can download it onto my kindle

You can, however, organize your attack by squadron which is assuredly the historical thing to do...

Dear Jarhead:

Would not want you to jeopardize your electronics by taking such a drastic measure as turning off an antivirus. Nor, did I mean to insult anyone.  I did not realize Jarheads were so sensitive with respect to such matters. Oh, I did purchase the game on the day it was released; but that is kind of beside the point.

I got it on day 1. Only dabbled with it. It seems to run ok for me so far. Windows 8.1 + Avast anti virus switched to "gaming mode". I may see problems when i spend more time with it though.

Didn't get to play long tonight, but it was no problem this evening. I think I figured out a fix on my game/rig.

Maybe we should do some Co-op eventually, after I scare up the scratch and get it.

Just to show that SOW isn't the only game with the AV issue.  It hits CM games hard sometimes too.

Not saying it is good product management, but SOW isn't alone.

So....is this the American Civil War with Napoleonic uniforms and maps or does this new game incorporated Napoleonic tactics that differ from the ACW? With the old HPS games I quickly learned that using ACW tactics in their Napoleonic games didn't work(i.e assaulting in column rather than line and use of skirmishers).  Is this true with this game too?

Correct.  I have AVG Internet Suite (paid version) and it flags most CM exe files as malware.  It is the behaviour of the DRM part of the software that causes these problems.
It doesn't force me close my AV but i have to add these files to the exceptions list.   If i don't do this there is no way of installing and my backup files end up quarantained.

However i never had any issues with a Matrix game (but i don't have SOW).

I'm really disturbed with this guy.
What is he doing in the battlefield?

That is obviously Starfury. Nothing to worry about.

That would be great :)

Had my first repeatable crash. 
Press Show High Scores.

Edit: Restarted the game and it's ok now.
