New map: McPherson's Ridge [Gettysburg: Day1]
« on: September 06, 2011, 02:40:46 PM »
Hey guys. I would like to present the first WIP screens of my new map project: McPhersons's Ridge

At McPherson's Ridge, Buford's federal cavalry engaged with Heth division at July 1st, 1861. It was a very small area, but the fighting was very hard and brutal.
Many famous charges and actions took place at McPherson's Ridge, like fighting at the Railroad cut, fighting in Herbst woods and the death of General Reynolds.

Im trying to get out a very historical map, with real topographic heights and locations. Hope you will enjoy the first screens :)

I'm pretty sure no one knows whether he was killed by friendly fire or not

Due to some crash problems, I have stopped editing this map. This map will be in the next patch as a beta version to test it, but its 50% finished yet. It should offer good gameplay and there should be a good feeling, playing a historical map. Don't compare it with the movie Gettysburg, cause in the movie, McPhersons Ridge was not quite historical ;)

Nice map Hinkel ! Maybe a nice suggestion,try to add the a enter-able tower in the
church,as sawn during the Gettysburg movie. So the Yankee commanders have a nice
overview ;-)
