BATTLEGROUND SHILOH readme
VERSION 1.1 4/97
Fixed melee bug that could sometimes eliminate defending units.
Fixed bug that resulted in higher leader losses when firing on a leader
alone in a hex.
Fixed the Windows 95 white hex outline problem.
Fixed the Help button in the Leader Casualty Dialog.
Set the strengths of the regiments in Garfield's Brigade at "500" each.
Improved the A/I movement of supply wagons.
Improved A/I multi-hex melee capability.
Increased the effectiveness of infantry ranged fire vs. artillery crews.
The Enfilade modifier now applies when firing on limbered artillery.
Uncrewed artillery units are now labeled as "Uncrewed" in the Unit List.
Arriving artillery batteries now add to the ammo pool of their side by a
fixed amount determined by the parameter data for that module.
A unit at maximum ("9") fatigue that suffers another gain in fatigue does
not rout immediately, but must take a morale check the next time morale is
checked.
A unit at maximum ("9") fatigue has a -4 morale modifier and a +4 modifier
when firing (other high fatigue units have -2 and +2).
When a unit is eliminated by fire, one other unit (chosen at random) in that
same hex undergoes a rout check and has its fatigue increased by one.
If every unit attacking in a melee is eliminated, none of the units defending
in that melee become disrupted.
If every unit defending in a melee is a leader or supply wagon, none of the
units attacking in that melee become disrupted.
If a defending unit in a melee is forced to retreat, and is attacked again
that phase in a subsequent melee, it defends at half strength.
Rally is now possible at night. For rally purposes, the morale of a unit at
night is half the normal morale of the unit, fractions rounded up.
A unit moving in line formation at night automatically becomes disrupted.
A unit's movement allowance does not drop to zero when it moves next to a
"?" (Unknown-Unit) marker *if* that marker represents only an enemy leader
or any other unit that does not exert a Zone of Control into the hex. If
the "?" does represent an enemy leader, the moving unit can even enter its
hex and capture it.
Except at night, the rally bonus of leaders at the Corps level or above
extends into adjacent hexes.
Added yellow highlighting of Command values of leaders who have failed their
command check.
The "D" Disruption icon now appears in the Target and Selection Dialogs to
indicate such units.
Clicking on an entry in the Release Dialog causes that organization to
become highlighted on the map. Double-clicking or selecting OK causes the
Release Dialog to be closed and the organization to remain highlighted.
Selecting Cancel causes the organization to become unhighlighted.
Double-clicking on a unit in the Search Results list of the Find Dialog
closes the dialog and causes the map to scroll to that unit.
Double-clicking on an entry in the Scheduled Dialog displays a dialog
showing the individual units in the reinforcement.
Right-clicking on a unit in the Unit List displays that unit's normal
full-strength value in the game, if it is currently below full strength.
The jump map now shows units that are Unknown.
No leader, supply wagon or routed unit can change the control of an
objective hex.
A scenario will now end if all units from one side have been eliminated
and the other side controls all objectives.
Added a "Rules..." button in the A/I Selection Dialog. Selecting this button
allows the player to use one or more of the following optional rules:
OPTIONAL FIRE-RESULTS TABLE: This causes the optional fire results
table to be used for all fire results in the scenario. See "Optional
Parameter Data" the end of the v1.1 section of this file for the optional
table.
OPTIONAL MELEE-RESULTS TABLE: This causes the optional melee results
table to be used for all melee results in the scenario. See "Optional
Parameter Data" the end of the v1.1 section of this file for the optional
table.
QUALITY-BASED FIRE MODIFIERS: Each ranged-fire attack by a
non-artillery unit whose Quality is "A" or "B" receives a +1 modifier. If
its Quality is "E" or "F", it receives a -1 instead. (Note that this rule,
which was introduced as standard in v1.22, is now optional - but is "on"
by default.)
HIGHER FATIGUE-RECOVERY RATES: This applies a higher fatigue
recovery rate. Given the default fatigue recovery rate R, this rule will
apply a fatigue recovery rate of three times R for units having a medium
(4-6) level of fatigue, and a recovery rate of five times R for units with
a low (1-3) level of fatigue. The default recovery rate still applies to
units suffering from high (7-9) fatigue.
VICTORY POINTS FOR LEADER CASUALTIES: This causes points to be
awarded for the loss of leaders. The number of points awarded for a leader
casualty is nominally (C + L) x F, where C is the default command value of
the leader (A=6, B=5, etc.), L is the leadership rating of the leader (A=6,
B=5, etc.) and F is "1" for brigade leaders, "2" for division leaders, "3"
for corps leaders and "4" for army leaders. This value is then halved if
the leader was only wounded, or doubled if he was captured. Leader casualty
points are displayed in the Victory Dialog.
ROUT LIMITING: This applies a morale modifier when determining the
spread of unit routing in order to reduce the frequency of multiple-hex
routing.
QUALITY MELEE MODIFIERS: This causes additional modifiers to be
applied to melees. If the minimum quality of all units attacking in a melee
is A or B, "1" is added to the melee differential; if their minimum quality
is E or F, "1" is subtracted from the melee differential. If the minimum
quality of all units defending in a melee is A or B, "1" is subtracted from
the melee differential; if their minimum quality is E or F, "1" is added to
the melee differential.
ISOLATION RULES: Isolation is now optional, but is "on" by default.
When a unit is Isolated, a red rectangle appears behind its Strength value
in the Unit List. An Isolated artillery unit can run low on or out of
ammunition in the same manner and with the same effects as infantry. (The
artillery unit becomes resupplied when no longer Isolated, provided its
side's ammo pool is greater than zero.) An Isolated leader receives no
benefits from his superiors during command checks. Isolated cavalry can be
melee-attacked by infantry even if mounted. The strength of an Isolated
unit in melee is normal when attacking and quartered when defending.
EXTREME FOG-OF-WAR: This hides each unit's name, quality, exact
strength, organizational info and current movement allowance, plus each
leader's command and leadership ratings, from the opponent. [Exception:
the strength of unlimbered artillery is not hidden.] The unit's name and
organizational info re-appear whenever it is within an enemy unit's Zone
of Control.
PARTIAL RETREATS: This allows a unit forced to retreat from a melee
into an overstacking situation to lose a portion of its strength in order
to allow it to retreat into the hex instead of being completely eliminated
due to overstacking.
Added a "Highlight" menu item in the Display Menu. This opens a submenu
that allows the player to highlight units of the selected type. The items
in the submenu are as follows:
* FIXED UNITS
* SPOTTED UNITS
* LOW ON OR OUT OF AMMO, OR UNCREWED
* FIRED/FOUGHT UNITS
* MOVED UNITS
* DISRUPTED UNITS
* DETACHED UNITS
* HIGH-FATIGUE UNITS (all units on the map that currently have a Fatigue
level of "7" or more)
* ISOLATED UNITS
* NON-FULL-STRENGTH UNITS (all units on the map that are currently at less
than their normal full strength in the game)
* SUPPLY WAGONS
* ORGANIZATION
Added the following new menu items in The Options Menu:
GRAPHICS BUFFERING: This menu item causes a double-buffering
graphics technique to be used when drawing the 3D graphics. This greatly
reduces the amount of screen flicker caused by screen updates, but will
reduce the speed of the graphics. Players should use this option as they
prefer.
INITIAL VIEW: This menu item is used to define the initial view of
the map shown when the main program is started. This may be set to any of
the standard 2D or 3D map views, or may be set so that it is always the
view that existed when the program was last closed.
OPTIONAL RULES: This menu item is used to display the Optional
Rules so that those (if any) in effect for the current scenario can be
viewed.
Added a Leader Casualty Dialog (accessible via the Status Menu) to display
a running list of both sides' leader losses. A "K" indicates the leader was
killed, a "W" indicates he was wounded, and a "C" indicates he was captured.
Clicking on a leader's name in the dialog causes the map to scroll to the
location where he became a casualty.
Added new Accelerator keys:
Ctrl-X - moves the Hot Spot to the Next Stack
F5 - slows down A/I Action Dialog processing
F6 - returns A/I Action Dialog processing to normal speed
F7 - speeds up A/I Action Dialog processing
TCP/IP INTERNET PLAY
Internet play is now supported. Prior to beginning TCP/IP Internet play,
both players should ensure that they have a valid TCP/IP connection
established on their computers. Typically this is a service of your Internet
Service Provider.
1. Select "Modem Host" or "Modem Caller" from the Menu screen.
2. Select "Internet Connection".
3. The Modem Host should select a new scenario or resume a previously saved
game. The Modem Caller should select the corresponding module for the
chosen scenario or battle.
4. A dialog on the Modem Host system will appear, containing the Internet
address for the Modem Host. Note: Typically this address is changed by
your Internet Service Provider each time an Internet Connection is
established.
5. The Modem Host should then provide the Caller with this address. This
can be done by calling the Caller on a separate line, by sending the
address through E-Mail, or by using an Internet "chat" program. The
Modem Caller will then type this address into his Internet connection
dialog. He can also specify an encryption key at this time. He should
then choose Connect on the Connection dialog.
6. At this point, both players will have a Communication Dialog, and play
will start or continue similar to standard Dial Up Modem Play (see
section 7.1 in the Players Guide).
Added an "Internet Connection" menu item to the Special Menu. Normally you
will initiate Internet play after choosing either "Modem Host" or "Modem
Caller" from the main Menu Screen. However, if you wish to initiate it from
within the main program, you should select the "Internet Connection" menu
item prior to selecting "Modem Host" or "Modem Caller" in the Special Menu.

VERSION 1.05 1/97
Fixed PBEM replay bug that caused crashes and hangs due to inadvertant
word-wrap in .bte file.
Fixed bug that allowed a single leader to generate a flanking-attack
melee bonus.
Fixed melee bug related to automatic victory vs. routed units.
The attacker in a melee can now cause no more casualties than his own
total attacking strength if he fails to win the melee.
Made minor corrections to road and path art on \sl and \hn 2D maps.
Added a new scenario ("04h."; sl_a_h.scn), the full two-day battle with
historical arrival times for reinforcements. Also made minor adjustments
in several other scenarios.
Added weapon type "S" (for Shotgun) in Prairie Grove module. Various
Confederate units in this module now use this weapon type, which has a
range of one hex.
VERSION 1.04 12/96
A unit's Fixed status is not revealed to the opponent when Fog of War is in
effect for its side.
Fixed corruption of battle file caused by choosing Cancel in Two-Player
Hot-Seat Replay option.
VERSION 1.03 9/96
The Scheduled and Release Dialogs now show the per-turn probability of
entry/release for each unit listed.
Each ranged-fire attack by a non-artillery unit whose Quality is "A" or
"B" receives a +1 modifier. If its Quality is "E" or "F", it receives a -1
instead.
The ranged-fire modifier for attacking a unit at a higher elevation is now
limited to a maximum of -2.
A unit taking a loss from a ranged-fire attack now suffers only a one-level
increase in fatigue.
The strength of each routed unit in melee is quartered (not halved).
A +2 melee modifier now applies if no attacking unit advanced into that hex
from within the Field of Fire of any unit defending in that melee.
VACANT HEX: When a hex becomes devoid of defending units as the result of an
Offensive Fire Phase attack, it becomes a Vacant Hex. (A red triangle icon
appears in the hex to mark it as such.) A Vacant Hex may be advanced into
during the next Melee Phase, and the advancing unit(s) will automatically
occupy the hex.
An Isolated unit *can* initiate melee (contrary to what it says in the
definition of "Isolated" on p.40 of the Players Guide).
Breastworks now appear even when "Units Off" is in effect.
Fixed units are no longer released when attacked by their own forces.
Units can no longer attempt to melee into Water or Blocked hexes.
