| Sir!!! I see that no Yankee has stood up and accepted your challenge! They are probably a little nervous about your Collection of Yankee Battle flags you have hanging at your HQ. My offer of a maneuver still stands sir. Two brave and true opponents have stepped forward from the other side to do bat... |

| Gentlemen, <salute> I am saddened and dismayed that the CSA is wiping out most of its medals and awards. I have not been active in the club for many years now, but I have held almost every position in the Confederate Army, including working at and commanding VMI, and Commander of the ANV, as well a... |

| I see that the Confederacy has now gained the upper hand leading in two scenarios to the Yankee's one (and two draws). The Confederacy also seems to have a big lead in battles overall (CSA 60, USA 45). |

Sounds great.
My old clunker of a computer is at capacity to the point where I can not download anything new. Fortunately, a new hard drive has been ordered and when it arrives I can begin to fill it with more wargames including 'Forgotten Campaigns'. |

I usually play with all Optional Rules except the following: Manual Defensive Fire; Artillery Capture; Mixed Organizational Penalty; and Extreme Fog of W... |

| This house rule was originally posted by me in the Mason Dixon Tavern early in 2021. Artillery stacking is limited to a maximum of eight guns per hex at all times. However, I am also agreeable to the limit being reduced to six guns per hex, in which case any eight-gun battery that exists in either a... |

| Whether they go for it or not, such information can be obtained. It is not a pretty sight, at least for those people on the other side. Last month the ANV recorded 34 battles completed. The results were: C.S.A. Major Victory 17 Minor Victory 2 Draw 4 U.S.A. Major Victory 4 Minor Victory 7 The ANV's ... |

| In the last two turns I did in a Chickamauga scenario, I had to move my supply wagon around an uncrossable creek in order to resupply my units on the other side, so the answer appears to be that a creek that is not crossable by bridge or ford will prevent resupply. Is it possible that there is anot... |

| Does no-one know the answer? I'm starting to think that supply does extend across an uncrossable creek. This is despite the fact that although a " bridge must have a strength of at least 3/4 the maximum to carry artillery or supply wagons" the supply function of them is uninterrupted by su... |

| In a scenario I'm currently playing it appears that an enemy supply wagon is providing supply to units on the other side of a creek that cannot be crossed by any units. Were the wagon to trace a line through hexes that can be moved through, the units on the other side of the creek would be well out ... |

| I don't like it when my units are isolated but I do like the Isolation Rules. The Civil War was essentially linear warfare. It would have been exceedingly rare for a brigade, let alone a regiment, to go wandering off on their own independent operation. I think any units in a game that get themselves... |

| I stall the match out!! Make them wait at least a week before I send a msg saying I’ll send a turn shortly. Then wait another week to do so!!! I can guarantee that anyone who does that to me will, for better or worse, lose me as an opponent. They will probably also run the risk of me reporting them... |

| If I feel that there is a chance that I may turn it around or can reduce their victory level I will battle on to the end. I would not bother cringing in a defensive stance just to drag the matter out [much too boring and somewhat rude to my opponent] but if I consider that a well planned attack coul... |

During the discussion of the Battle of Waterloo he stated that it was one of Napoleon's worst conducted battles and that crucial errors led to his defeat. Then he had a footnote (... |
