I. Installing the Battleground Gettysburg Demo.

    1. From Windows, select the File menu, and the Run menu item.
    2. Enter:
	d:\bgg\setup
       Note: If your CD-ROM is different from d:, then enter the
       appropriate letter.
    3. Note: you must have Video for Windows Version 1.1 installed on
       your computer in order to run the Battleground Gettysburg videos.

II. Getting Started.

    To see a fully automated demo, do the following.  First double-click
    on the Battleground Gettysburg icon.  When prompted, select
    Automatic A/I for both Union and Confederate sides.  This will play
    the demo Computer vs. Computer.  When the A/I Dialog appears, you may
    wish to click on Step to advance the A/I manually, or click on Run to
    have the A/I run without stopping.  To halt A/I processing, press the 
    Escape key (or click on the Cancel button) when the A/I dialog appears.
    To exit the game, halt A/I processing and then select the Exit menu 
    item from the File menu.

    To try a battle against the computer, do the following.  First double-
    click on the Battleground Gettysburg icon.  When prompted, select
    Automatic A/I for one side and Manual mode for the side you wish to
    play.  Here are some tips on how to play:
        1. To advance to the next phase, select the Next Phase menu item
	   from the Phase menu or click on the clock icon in the upper
           left hand corner of the tool box that appears on the left hand
	   side of the screen.
	2. In the Movement Phase, you can move your units.  Select a unit
	   by first clicking on its map hex with the left mouse button.
	   Then either double-click to select the entire stack of units in 
	   that hex, or click on one or more units at the bottom of the 
	   screen to just select certain ones. You then move the unit (or 
	   stack) by clicking with the right mouse button on a hex adjacent 
	   to that unit on the map.
	3. In the Fire Phases, you can fire on enemy units. Select the unit
	   you wish to fire in the same way you selected it for moving, by 
	   clicking on its hex and then clicking on its picture at the 
	   bottom of the screen.  Select its target by clicking with the 
           right mouse button on a hex containing one or more enemy units.  
	   If prompted for a specific target by the Target Dialog, you can 
	   select the default simply by clicking on the Ok button.
	4. In the Melee Phase, you can melee against units in hexes adjacent 
	   to your units. Select the target hex by clicking on the hex with 
	   the right mouse button.  Then select your attacking units by 
	   first selecting them and then adding them to the melee using the 
	   Add to Melee menu item in the Melee Menu.  When you are done 
	   adding units to the melee, you can resolve the melee by selecting 
	   the Resolve Melee menu item in the Melee Menu.

III. When in Doubt.

   If you are unsure what to do next in any given situation, you can always
   get the computer to finish the current phase for you by clicking on the
   A/I button that is located in the lower right hand corner of the tool
   box that appears on the left hand side of the screen.
