Antietam Creek

[stiffstarch]

I don't know if this is a bug or and oversite by the developers, but has anyone noticed that it appears that Antietam Creek is flowing in the wrong direction? Just thought I would mention..for historical accuracy.

An interesting observation.

Where were you at the time of your discovering this?

[stiffstarch]

I was at Burnside Bridge Skirmish.. at the base of the pillars of the bridge you can see how the water flows. It looks like its going in the opposite direction...away from the Potomac. I know you've been to the battlefield, General Hill..check it out.

[A. P. Hill]

Well yeah, I imagine you'd have to be at the bridge over the river to see this ... Let me ask this, did you approach the bridge from the U.S. Side or the C.S. side? Or did you get all twisted around and not really sure what direction you were facing??

[stiffstarch]

I was at the Union side of the bridge...looks like water is flowing from left to right.

[Bravescot]

I've seen the same but I didn't think it was wrong. The water was flowing left to right as I've had bodies get washed along in that direction.

[A. P. Hill]

The creek should flow south, or, right to left from the Union side of the bridge.

[stiffstarch]

Correct...that's what I thought. But it appears to be flowing in the opposite direction

[Hatchmo]

Yes the water should flow from right to left from the Union side.
