Creation Announces 1861: Civil War! { Forrest }

Somehow missed this in my in box; good thing the folks at the Mill caught it. Cut & paste straight from CG Newswire:
From the mind of Cydonian and the forge of Creation comes 1861: Civil War, a Total Conversion for Myth2.

This TC strives for total realism in appearence and combat. The all-new units, seperately modeled for Union and Confederate forces, are rendered with a great level of detail and allow the player to perform aesthetic actions to enhance the realism. The "u" key special animations allow the mounted Officer to lead the charge into battle with the blast of a bugle, and the Field Doctor to mourn a fallen comrade. Most units have multiple attacks, with the common soldiers sporting Springfield rifles, reloading them with a 32-frame animation, and bayonets. Additional units are the well-armed Sharpshooters, the Brigadier Generals, and the two varieties of Field Cannon. All come with a full array of new sounds, and flavors taken from historical quotes and texts. The tagset allows one to convert any map with standard Myth units to a Civil War battle.

With the release of the tagset comes two maps, the official 3-mesh 1861 Netmap, included with and requiring the tagset, and Deercreek Bridge, the stand-alone 1861 solo map.
