BATTLEGROUND SHILOH readme
GENERAL
The program requires you to have the Battleground: Shiloh CD in your
computer's CD drive in order to be able to play the game.
INSTALLATION SIZES: The following provides a guide to how many MB each
type of installation will place on your hard drive.
Compact Install: about 20 MB
Typical Install: about 60 MB
Custom Install: from 5 MB (no options selected) to 330 MB (all
options selected)
WIN 95 USERS: The following apply to certain WIN 95 programs/configurations
We strongly recommend that you obtain and install the "Service
Pack 1" upgrade from Microsoft. To see if your machine has been
upgraded with the Service Pack, open the Control Panel and double-
click on "System". The "General" dialog box should state that your
system is "Microsoft Windows 95 4.00.950a". If the "a" suffix is
missing, you need to install the Service Pack.
Due to certain incompatibilities with Microsoft Plus, we strongly
urge you to disable that program's System Agent before running any
Battleground game.
If you experience an error message that reads "...MGSRV32 caused a
General Protection Fault..." when opening a scenario, be sure to
restart your computer before trying to launch the game again.
The game may not be compatible with certain background tasks such
as virus checkers, so if you have problems try running the game
with these disabled.
A few WIN 95 configurations may cause the game's hex outlines to
be yellow instead of gray on certain (generally the smaller) maps.
We are working on a solution to this problem.
VERSION 1.0 7/96
The Combat Effect modifier for Rough terrain is -1 (not 0 as stated in the
Players Guide).
Units cannot become Fixed *during* play. Fixed status can occur only
automatically at the start of play.
If a unit expends any part of its movement allowance during its Movement
Phase, any attack it makes in the Offensive Fire Phase is halved.
When a subordinate leader is determined to be "in command", his Command
Rating changes in the Unit List for the current turn to reflect the Command
Rating modifier he received.
Certain reinforcement entry hexes are "protected" in the sense that enemy
units within a particular range of them will be automatically eliminated
or routed when the reinforcements appear. More details on this can be
found by Selecting "Scenario Notes" in the game's Help menu, then Selecting
"8.0 Arrival Schedule".
The "Undo Last Movement" (Ctrl-U) command cannot be used for a unit that
has just captured a battery or leader.
Below are listed the scenario titles, their corresponding file names, and
the "module" each is found in. The "module" is important to know when you
re-open a saved game; therefore you might find it handy to print a hard
copy of this file for easy reference.
