| Actually, the park rangers removed that wrecked cannon display. Perhaps as long as ten years ago. The cannon is still there but assembled and in a different location. Too bad I say! I could have sworn I saw it on my last visit a few years back. I will have to swing past Murfreesboro next time I am ... |

| Stupid Comment Because of the Drawing of the Caisson in Your Post: The only battlefield I have seen a caisson intact is at Stones River. I have no idea why that is. About 20 yards behind the guns are the caissons with the guns unlimbered to their front. https://civilwartalk.com/attachments/mammoth-... |

| Two years? Time flies doesn't it. Glad you have stuck with us. Once members reach the two-year mark they are "lifers" in the club. Once you are hooked into it then you stay hooked. |

| TIP: 500 is as good as 1,000. When playing defense, there is a tendency to think that you should maximize the number of men that you can squeeze into a hex. This will undoubtedly make your firepower greater and dissuade the enemy from attacking and/or meleeing your hex. The old "strength in nu... |

| So many times in response to pressure you tend to grab a unit to plug a hole instead of retreat and reform Yes! I made that error a lot when I first started playing. You just plug holes with any men you can and keep going. But eventually you realize that that's not a great idea in the long run. It ... |

Rich has always been honest with me and so I trust him completely that they will find the time to do some investigating and determine ... |

| I would not be surprised to see WDS implement it as an Optional Rule in a future update. As someone else mentioned, this has been an Optional Rule in other WDS series. I guess in order to really make a good decision of whether or not you would personally utilize an Optional Rule like this, if offer... |

| So Put your batteries in Breastworks above and behind your lines when possible Yes. Here is a Hot Take and probably an unpopular one. This might not be the worst gaming bug possible. It may finally force people to adjust the way they use artillery and to really think about how best to utilize and p... |

| Is Atlanta's hex capacity 1,000? [I know that 480/800 is still below the two-thirds capacity where the modifier should kick in but 60% is close and maybe, just maybe, the games' coding has rounded it off and starts at 60%. You can't trust everything in the manual, as we know there are some things t... |

| Good News - The error does not effect infantry. As you can see below, the losses for infantry are the same from Version 4.04 to Version 4.05. This is the way it should be!!! It's also makes what is going on with artillery losses stand out so much. The gameplay results should remain consistent from ... |
