| I keep wondering why there are no engineers in Corinth etc. ACW armies could definitely repair or even build wooden trestles over rivers within a few hours just as well as their European counterparts, so why a bridge (that was probably not a very sophisticated work in the first place, especially in ... |

| I believe the cavalry can be mounted. To "melee" a bridge, place the hot spot on the bridge and select "melee->begin melee"; then select the unit (only one, and it must be facing the bridge), and "melee->add to melee", and finally "melee->resolve melee" (or use the tool bar button).

Can't say I have ever tried to keep track (in fact I pass the defensive fire phase as quickly as I can because I find it tedious to watch), but I think I always took it for granted that units fire or don't fire, randomly.

| A counterfactual-history civil war novel that I enjoyed enormously is "Bring the Jubilee" by Ward Moore. The story starts in an alternate world--it's New York in the 1930s, only the South has won its independence and divided North America is in a state of permanent backwardness. There are some moder... |

| I would concur. Also, for my feeling Sears' books have rather improved over time. I found "To the Gates of Richmond" and "Landscape Turned Red" OK but not that remarkable (some parts were a bit tedious), but "Chancellorsville" really caught me, and, as has been said before, read "Gettysburg" after t... |
