Please tell me you can disable that sound while leaving other sounds on!
Not a purchase breaker but still...

That's being fixed in the first update, due out as a public beta later today.

Regards,

I can heartily recommend getting the game if you have any interest at all in American Civil War battles, or even a simulation of mid-19th century warfare. IMHO, this game gives the best "feeling" of commanding a Civil War-era army that I've seen yet, and I've been wargaming since the early 1980's.

Well, given the heading of this post, I think I'll append my uncertainty here too, rather than make a new thread.

I had decided not to buy this game based on my experience with WCS games in the past as I find their interfaces and graphics clunky and dated - of course, your mileage may differ here. I always felt there were potentially great games tangled up in there somewhere, but you can't play a potential game, only the actual one.

Perhaps someone who likes this game and wanted to love the previous ones, but didn't, can let me know their experiences?

But I have to say was someone high when they added the Rain graphic and sound.
What is wrong with a small pop-up at the bottom of the screen displaying current weather
As it is it makes me think the game is glitching.
Don't think I have ever seen a wargame use such a dramatic weather display.
