I'm looking for a WBTS game with anyone. I'm happy to play either side though I would prefer to play the Union against a bonafide (?????) rebel. |

This club is a highlight of my retirement and I know, no, I have some idea of how much work goes into keeping it all together. Thank you for every minute you've spent helping to keep this gem, the ACWGC, alive and well! |

President Dortch, my deepest congratulations on your victory. It is greatly enhanced by the generous support promised by your worthy opponent. Another example of ACWGC as a first class organization! |

What lacks in CWII? It's the game which brought me here after I spent a summer learning it. After my training session I found no one was playing it or WBTS. |

I'm well into my fourth WBTS game this year and enjoying the hell out of it. I wonder why it never really caught on. Any comments?
Is there anything that can be done to pique some interest? Matrix has it on sale for $9.60!!! |

I think the new rules are fair. Note that General Meyer is quite right, the "no going back" is temporary and can be removed by unanimous vote of the Cabinet after what amounts to a two year probationary period. |

The explanation regarding command range being less than shown makes perfect sense and the positions of the two detached division commanders fits the reduced command range.
Thank you all for helping to clarify!!! |

I've thought that signal units (maybe balloons?) would be nice. I agree it's odd and I've relied on that change for alerts. |

Gentlemen, I'm playing an Antietam 3.0, 40 turn Meeting Engagement near Bull Run. My Union troops under McDowell are ALL well within the area marked as his headquarters range but two of five Division commanders are detached even though they were within range too.
Anyone have an explanation? |
