Scenes from the central bridge ....

That looks a real mess. The last pic of French crossing near the bridge I suppose we can accept. Maybe they found a shallow area. At least it was very near the bridge and they were part of a division clearly attempting to get across at the bridge. Problems arise when a unit gets across miles from anywhere the opponent might reasonably be expected to be guarding.

Of course its hard to understand what's happened prior to you personally encountering a situation. The rogue Austrian battery that fired upon Phil on his side of the river might at first have seemed to have come across where there was no crossing but in fact had started on that side and worked their way down the riverbank, out of command and out of control - the result of poor Austrian staffwork .

In short, please try to keep an open mind about these things and don't react in TS or via the game chat window in case you cause more problems or misunderstandings. We should always leave discussions about these kinds of events until after the battle. In stand-alone battles it doesn't matter at all and we can all learn from such things about troop control and AI reactions near these impassable barriers; in campaign games results are easily adjusted in the OOBs or on the map.

There is an offset on the crossing at the middle bridge. The grayscale of the road and the bridge shown on the battlefield do not exactly correspond. This is also true for many sections of road. This is a general "feature" of the three Antietam maps. There was no apparent quality control applied during their creation and testing.

Could the greyscale roads be aligned correctly or is it more work than its worth?
