| Howdy! BGen. Hecht, you have seemed to missed my point. Which is that there is nothing Ballisticly relevant to a -20 modifier for uphill shooting. It's just a made up, arbitrary thing. You forget, or do not know, that the Enfield Rifled Musket, Springfield Rifled Musket, and all other "Rifled M... |

| Howdy All! Quite interesting. Love the discussion. I see that the consensus is that Supply wagon travel is arbitrary and capricious. Up to the game designer, so be it. Regarding the -20 penalty for "uphill" shooting I have seen no argument other than the Designer "Said So". Hecht... |

| Howdy! Now here is something I always wanted clarified. Why is there a -20 penalty for firing uphill?! I always thought the designers believed firing uphill was inaccurate and went with the flow. But now think the designers haven't a Clue. Movement uphill or attacking uphill has some disadvantages o... |

| Howdy Mike! Thanks for the insight. According to my calculations, with each hex at 125 yards (or 375 feet) across and the Supply wagon moving 30 hexes per hour, that is 11250 feet or 2.13 miles/hour. Quite close to N. S. Dodge's 2.5 MPH. However, according to the game, that rate of advance can be ac... |

| Howdy Folks! Here are a few more comments for discussion. Regarding BG Supply wagons, the original "parameter data" chart showed 1 MP/hex for Pikes and Roads, and 2 MP/hex for trails. That was never the case. Why bother securing a good road system if your Supply units cannot possibly keep ... |

| Howdy Folks! Now I only have Overland, Gettysburg and Atlanta but I think these comments may apply to all. I was waiting to see what the new GB update had to offer. In Campaign GB, why cannot Supply wagons travel at 1 MP/hex on a road? In Overland it's 1 hex on a road. Just like some clarification. ... |

| Howdy! I have some photos I'd like to post but being thick as a brick I can't figure out how it is done. Any help? I have some cool pics of "Star Gazer's Rock". This is the benchmark Masson and Dixon used to make their calculations for the Survey. It's about 10 miles from my house. I also ... |

Salute! (I was going to 'Return Salute' but I have more OBD points than I can count.) LOL!
I am here. Almost forgot. Me and Tim are in a Campaign. I have one Blue Belly on the ropes in a Battle and Bob Weir is being taught a lesson.
God Bless America! |
