| Never fell asleep during a replay, but I have had to stop and take a nap in the middle of doing a turn. |

| Column Melee House Rules If I had to guess, and this might be confirmed by some old timers like Ned Simms, DW Mallory, or Mark Nelms, but I bet that when the HPS version of the games was released that many people played the game in Turns. This is poorly named, I know! But in "Turns" each ... |

| Got it and played it with Bill Smith back in 95. Nothing strange that I recall but casualties were in multiples of 25. |

Possibly Atlanta #61-Kennesaw Chase June 20
It has a large map with plenty of objectives, plenty of time, and limited artillery ammunition for both sides. Also both armies are balanced.
Really enjoyed playing this one from both sides. |

| The evidence is that Lee didn't have much patience for subordinates who showed insufficient aggressiveness to suit him and got them sent elsewhere whenever he could. |

| You can always use the scenario editor to remove objectives and change the victory levels, but I recommend you then save the new scenario under a different name. |

| Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I remember finding out the 3 in the back 1 in the front surrender rule the hard way many years ago playing Corinth. Never made sense to me. Mind if I copy and repost over in the WDS forum? |

| I guess Davis could be considered a military expert due to his West Point and Mexican War background. The "famous" part probably stems from his service as secretary of war under President Franklin Pierce. |

| Don't see a whole lot of difference between orchards and light woods. In fact, if the orchards I have seen are any indication, the column movement cost for infantry ought to be the same as clear terrain. Light woods probably a point extra for debris. From what I have read about the Wilderness, it wa... |
