| I posted a completed game via the DOR website in early February, it appeared to go smoothly, but I still don't see the game recorded in the DOR spreadsheet. What should I do? So far only my training game shows up in the spreadsheet. This missing game is my lieutenants' cup game. Hi Kevin, I sent yo... |

| Just another book review... It's been a while so I thought I'd share another Civil War book review. I just finished reading Thomas Fleming's "Disease of the Public Mind: A New Understanding of Why We Fought the Civil War." It was a very enjoyable, and quick, read about the causes of the C... |

| Destoying your own emplaced wagons (seldom seen in scenarios) is doable but probably not a big deal. If you have the time and artillery shells to spare then I guess you can do it. But large scenarios are rarely decided by 100 - 200 points and so you probably have bigger worries to be concerned about... |

| Gentlemen, I am sad to announce the passing of longtime ACWGC Member, Clinton Matthews. He passed away on December 27, 2025. I knew something was wrong when he failed to muster for the first time in memory. Clinton joined the Club in 2011 and compiled a very commendable record of 79 victories again... |

| My question is simply "should any and all leaders be equal in a melee?" Paul said he would like to factor the quality of the Leader into the equation which is a fair opinion/argument to have. But taking the games as they are currently designed is what I am looking at. As designed, the gam... |

| From the User's Manual concerning Melee Modifiers: If the either side has a Leader with them, then 10% is added to their strength. Only the most senior leader is counted, additional leaders have no additional effect. The leader does not have to be in the unit's chain of command. Do you agree or dis... |

| 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 ... |
