I am convinced that arty will win this contention. At least I can foresee my poor Pvt. Fritz explode numerous times. :))

Private your main task will be to stand between me and every artillery explosion!


Common! Sign up! The Devs need more testdata of Harpers Ferry and that's a good chance to see how the map runs with organised units.

Where is the 2nd Corps and regiments like the 51st NY or 42nd PA? We need more regiments for a successfull testing on Harpers Ferry :)

My only suggestion is to reschedule or hold another event the next weekend, considering that weekend is a very large or National CW reenactment, and I know many of the community who plans to attend. Seems like you'd have a better turn out in my opinion. Not trying to be rude, just saying that much:p

We seem to have a proper amount of men that will show up. After this event we will try to plan a more NA timezone friendly one on the Antietam servers.

We will focus only on Harper's Ferry this time. Our next event will be again on the Antietam maps which are more friendly for our idea to divide the forces into 3 groups 2 lines 1 skirmish.

Asked was if we could set up a event to test the Harper's Ferry map and thus we are trying to deliver that.

I don't know how many 1st Georgia are coming if any(they may be late), but if I'm the only one what regiment should I fall in with?

I would suggest the regiment that needs the manpower.

Like Dutchconfederate said, we'll see when people are in what regiments/attack groups can be formed :)
For us EU players it's great to have an more EU oriented event (usually we have both and during the weekends it's less of a prob)

Thank you both for joining
Indeed that was the initial idea before they added two more maps. I must say 3 maps where plenty of action, enough for most . We can't wait to produce another event on the fields of Antietam!

A bit late but also want to say thanks for the event organization and also for the great leadership of the commanding officers who participated. I enjoyed the River Crossing First battle the most and in the end it was a Real Close one. I do not Really enjoy the Other two maps but for a change These are nice too. I am looking forward to Antietam Events to come and say again thanks to the organizers! o7

We've explained this before. The majority of the II Corps is still at work at 4-5 PM on a week day. NA companies would be happy to participate if our schedules were taken into consideration. Until that time, these are effectively EU-exclusive events.
Which is a condition that, sadly, we contend with in every MMO ... Time Differences can dictate many things ... the least not being Event Attendance.
Two events on the weekend days is helpful but I swear half the TKs are from sleepy soldiers. lol
