| Gen. Hampel Sir, I would be delighted to have BB as a scenario (I see Gen. Kunz agrees). If you don't mind, please do so!!! (I agree that Antietam is the logical title for this scenario). May I also inquire as to where you located the Order of Battle. Those that I have found do not list numbers of t... |

| A quick search of the local library catalog ("civil war" and "documentary") listed multiple entries. While I can't speak for the quality of all, there were a large number(and there are duplicate entries), several of which I have enjoyed and learned from (including one VHS tape of... |

This was updated on 5/12/12 so maybe a letter error? Could you look into it for those of us who are interested in modding the maps? (The unit links were f... |

It recounts the m... |
