****Austerlitz FOR SMA CONVERSION****

Austerlitz: The Greatest Battles Series for SMA battle pack [WGBS] is a conversion of the 
game Austerlitz: Napoleons Greatest Victory [ANGV] that now can be played on SMA using the SMA format.

The WGBS battle pack download should contain five zips which include: 
1  This readme.
2. Austerlitz: The Greatest Battles Series for SMA battle pack folder.
3. Austerlitz Soldier folder.
4. Austerlitz Screens and Menu folder.
5. Austerlitz Sounds folder.

This is a rather large battle pack, so here are some suggestions for installation.
1. Load your Antietam game as instructed.
2. Install the Antietam V2.0 Beta Patch in the main game folder.
3. For game sounds on XPs, Don Wells suggest that you delete the CFGMGR32.DLL
   and the SETUPPAPI.Dll from your main game folder.
4. Copy the Battle Pack folder into your Larry Hookings SMA File Utility.
5. Create a second SMA File Utility and name it SMWaterlooSoldiers. Then copy the Waterloo Soldier folder into it.
6. Create a third SMA Utility and name it SMWaterlooScreensandMenus. Then copy the Waterloo Screens and Menu folder into that.    
7. Load the above three File Utilities separately into the main SMA folder.
8. Lastly, if you want the Waterloo Sounds, I would suggest that you first rename the main Antietam Sound folder to 
   something like Antietam Sounds, and then copy the whole Waterloo Sound folder into the main game folder - and then 
   change the name to Sounds. Just reverse the process to change back to the original Antietam sounds. 

****DO NOT TRY TO LOAD THE BATTLE PACK BY SIMPLY DUMPING THE CONTENTS OF BOTH THE SOLDIER FOLDER, AND THE SCREENS 
 AND MENU FOLDER INTO THE MAIN WATERLOO: GREATEST BATTLES SERIES FOLDER, AND TRYING TO LOAD EVERYTHING AT ONCE.* I have found that because of the size 
 of the battle pack, I have experienced incomplete loading and unloading of the pack using this method. 
 For best results, load the battle pack as described above.****

****SOME GAME NOTES****

- To have location names appear on the map, click on any unit - with the exception of an artillery unit  and press 
  the letter t on your key board. Press again to remove the names.

- The map size is 125Wx 150H squares. With the exception of the cobbled main roads, I decided to use the general roads, 
  the sunken roads, the trails, and the streams from SMA. I have found that graphically, they worked better.  

- The construction of the Screens and Menus are my work.

- The Cavalry units used in combat will fight in the SMA format  that is, they will dismount and fight on foot, 
  rather than fight from horseback as in the ANGV format.

- If you do not want the portraits of the Confederate and Union Generals appearing in the game, 
  simply move them into a temporary folder. Personally, I have permanently deleted them, along with 
  the photographs of the Antietam landscape and the photos of the corn fields.

- All of the Farm Compounds, the main Churches, Sokolnitz Castle, and the Pheasantry compound have fortification values.    

- The Austerlitz Sounds were pilfered from various games and user made battle packs  I thank them for their contribution.

- Scenario 49, The Battle of Austerlitz, has been broken into Phase I and Phase II. Because of its size, the full Scenario 
  will freeze up on XP systems  as will Scenarios 51 and 52. They might be playable on earlier systems. I included in 
  the main folder, the full versions of Scenarios 49, 51, and 52 for those who may want to try them. They start with    
  the prefix "Original antie 49", etc. To play these scenarios, just delete the word "Original".


If there are any glaring mistakes that went undiscovered, please point them out, and corrections will be made.

This battle pack is by no means any original graphics work on my part. As with WNLB for SMA, this project is an experimental conversion project 
 to see if oversized maps could be played on SMA. Please be forewarned, that while I have not experienced any problem playing 
 this pack on my computer, take into account this is an experimental project with an oversized map for SMA, and any negative 
 results that may occur to your system is a result of your decision to play this pack.

This pack is not to be marketed, or sold in any way. I would request, that any changes made to this battle pack, be made 
 as an add-on or an enhancement pack, thus keeping the original contents of this pack intact.
