Frank,
I was an ardent fan of your ACW Sumter to App.
Is there any truth to the rumor that a remake is coming?
I know many are patiently waiting for an operational ACW game.
Thanks for any info.
PS. were there any late updates/patches released for the old game and if so, where might i find them.

Yes, on the old website I compiled a list of changes and new features and when the current crop of new games and BoN are done I'll return to work on it.

many many patches... I believe the last is available from Matrix and also here and there on the net. I used to have it available at my old site and lots of people downloaded it and made it available at their own so it should be around although I haven't looked. But I know Matrix had it here at one time and probably still do.

Frank,

Thanks for the response.
I can not find any Acw patch info at matrix.
Any info on where else to look would be greatly appreciated.
The latest i have is version 2.62 from 11-02 but it seems to have a very bad attrition leak for AI.
Was this ever addressed?
Thanks again for any info and i look forward to futre releases ie WWI and ACW

For future reference, the place to check for most patches for out-of-print games is www.patches-scrolls.de

In this case, you will find ACW patch v2.63 available there. Search for "american civil war"

Some earlier patches not listed there can also be found at Gamespot:
