Sid Meier's Antietam! Read Me
Version 3.0
8/18/00

************************************************************
** Features added to v12.30
************************************************************

-- The South Mountain scenarios are added. These are accessible
via a shortcut added to the start menu. If you wish to manually run the scenarios, use the '-campaign 3' argument (i.e. antietam.exe -campaign 3). The original Antietam campaign can then be accessed by using '-campaign 1'. There are two additional maps included within South Mountain.

-- There is a Adobe Acrobat file containing the latest version of the Antietam manual. It is located in the folder you extracted the patch to, and is called 'smaman.pdf'. You will need to have Adobe's Acrobat reader installed to view this file. At the time this readme.txt was written, it could be found at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html.

-- While it is possible to remove the South Mountain Add-on by uninstalling it from the Add/Remove Software Control Panel, you will need to reinstall Antietam if you wish to play the Antietam campaign."

** Known Bugs
************************************************************

MULTIPLAYER

-- For Serial or Modem-to-Modem play [not Internet play over a modem
but direct connections only], once a multiplayer game has been completed, it is necessary to quit the game before you can play another multiplayer game in this manner.

ORDER OF BATTLE vs CASUALTY REPORTING

-- Due to several factors (such as units starting some scenarios weakened,
the fact that the game continues slightly beyond the moment at which the score is calculated, and Internet lag problems regarding melee and unit capture), the score screen casualty numbers will occasionally be higher or lower than the total casualties reported on the OB screen at the end of the game. The score screen is correct.

************************************************************
** Some Player Notes
************************************************************

-- Big Battles and Rally : If you decide to play one of the several full-day battle scenarios, it would be wise to play with the option "Severe Rally". After several hours, it would have been very unlikely for previously routed troops to keep on rallying. Severe rally will hinder the probability of this happening for heavily damaged, or inexperienced troops."
