[Lyman Trumbull]

More field reports, thank you Trusty :D

Edit: What specs you got on those gaming Pc's ;)

[Potus]

nice HQ you guys got there :)
Nice job on the uniforms
Looking forward to all these goodies you have in store for us :)

[Celt]

The hype train is now boarding.

[Mississippi]

Southern Gentlemen of the Confederate Officer Corps!

Robert E. Lee & Stonewall Jackson look superb!

[TrustyJam]

More field reports, thank you Trusty :D

Considering what I've read, us Captain backers would receive out copy around April to Mid April, can't wait!

Edit: What specs you got on those gaming Pc's ;)

Amazing, as always!

[Johann Günderson]

So my 980 will suffice! ;)

Also will you be able to customize your characters in the alpha?

[Lyman Trumbull]

So my 980 will suffice! ;)

Also will you be able to customize your characters in the alpha?

Lets hope my 760 will suffice :/

This might change but I remember them saying there will be no character customization in the Drill camp.

[FanaticDK]

In a way I'm happy that I'm not going to be first in Alpha since I got to read to my exams at the end of month.
In fact, the Alpha test in general is terrible timing with University life. Oh well :P

[Hinkel]

So my 980 will suffice! ;)

Also will you be able to customize your characters in the alpha?

Nope, you will spawn as predefined characters in the drill camp.
Customization is something, which will get patched in on a later date :)

[Zoranny]

Thanks trusty and by the way very cool video!

[Lepracon]

Awsome as always guys... Let the glorious hype begin !

[LTC Philip A. Work]

What mechanisms will be put in place to report bugs? (The hunt is on as soon as I get the invite)

[TrustyJam]

What mechanisms will be put in place to report bugs? (The hunt is on as soon as in get the invite)

We'll have a forum board where alpha access is required to view and post in it. Here the alpha testers will be able to post screenshots as well as game.log files of various bugs you encounter.

[Jamez]

Looks great! Probably a good thing that I won't have immediate access to the alpha in May or my exams might take a hit ;)

[Challis89]

Just a joke mate, seeing as you have the CSA Colonel insignia set and you have the Dixie flag in your signature, I just wanted to point out that you loved it because of that. No hard feeling yeah? :D

[Challis89]

Will said sexy avatars be available one day?

[michaelsmithern]

can't wait. and it's coming mid may, which is even better

[Adrian.K.Olsen]

First thing I thought of when I saw your new office is that you guys are going to get robbed, someone is going to break those windows and steal all your stuff because people suck. I hope you don't have the whole game on those computers. btw the game looks amazing keep up the good work :)

[Jagdmann]

Great as always dearest friends! Keep it up and thanx for the field report!!

[Bravescot]

Looking great! I can't be the only one who gained a little satisfaction from seeing the Confed officer get gunned down at the beginning ;)

It's become a sort of tradition for Hinkel now I think. :P Everything new presented needs to die at the intro of its presentation video!

Nope, its an officers sword.
The Eagle sword is not fully modelled yet :)

Well, looks like I might need to up my backing to Lieutenant Colonel

[ThePatriot98]

Waking! :D

[JaegerCoyote]

Berdan's boys capping Confederate officers, nice.

[Sneaky Cheese]

Looks great! Us Aussiez cant wait for the drill camp

[MrAmerican]

What I am confused with is the Captain's role. Will our backing tier be included in the first alpha wave? Or at a later date?

EDIT: I thought it mean Lieutenant-Colonel as Lieutenant through Colonel, not as Lt.Col and higher. I understand. So does anyone have an estimated time on how long that first wave will take?

[Hatchmo]

So very excited! Great work Devs!

They said a few weeks so hopefully by June.

[Brooklyn]

Looks good, great work guys.

[Atrax Waldo]

Don't mind me, I'll be over here desperately trying to contain my excitement! Can't wait for the middle of May to get here!

[Landree]

Now I know the procedure: Wait two days after I get exasperated by a lack of an update.

I had to look away seeing those southern gentlemen taken out in such a cowardly manner. That said, uniforms look great! I hope to see them few and far between compared to our enlisted men!

I'm sure they'l have a limit. If they make it like their company tool to where there is a limited amount of officers/nco's per company then the problem will be solved imo

[Bob_Rabbit]

just curious as to what the predicted download size will be for the drill camp. I want to up my pledge but i see no point in doing that if i wont be able to download it with my mere 60gb download limit per month

[TrustyJam]

[elder_gutknecht]

[Devmc99]

Have any pictures been released of what the main menu looks like as of now?

[Richter]

After a month of repeatedly checking for a new Field Report, huzzah! Here it is! Everything is looking splendid, cannot wait for the Drill Camp. Keep up the amazing work!

Cheers,
Richter.

[Legion]

Shouldn't General Lee have more of a wavy/combed haircut instead of that buzz cut he has in the vid? Like this,
https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/civil-war-in-america/images/lee-fullsize1.jpg

P.S. I'm just messin with yall, I know it's wip.
Also is that supposed to be Longstreet or Jackson next to Lee or is it just a random dude?

[Colonel P. R. Page]

All the generals are work in progress there.

Its Jackson, you can notice him due to his forage cap! As well as Major Taylor, Lee's Aide, on his left.

They died doing their duty and that's what matters.

AWESOME WORK DEVS!!!

[Shmann]

Jackson looks good, but it would be easier for you to model him as a simple stonewall with a nice hat.
Nice field report! Cant wait to test this build.

Great uniforms! Some lovely eye candy right there.

[Locke1740]

Quick question will yall add more uniform for CS Officers (I really just want a uniform like Armistead + Taylor in Gettysburg 1993, like one of the Yankee officers have)

I mean with the collar up, not down, like his collar is on his chest/shoulders, I want to have it around my neck :D

Here, I want to have the collar around my neck and still have the uniform open like the guy in the middle

well the customization is going to be extensive so I'm sure you will be able to as they probably have 4 or so variations of that coat for the CSA

I mean "playable for captain tier or higher" with "available".
I ask because some other games are also on steam, but in the first alpha they didnt connect their game to steam.
