| From US Grant by Joan Waugh (Pg. 176). “Robert U. Johnson [from Grant’s era] observed that every battle has a least four points of view: that of the man who gets credit for the victory, that of the man who thought he should get the credit, that of the man who is blamed for the defeat, and that of th... |

| Capt. Campbell <salute> There are better mentors than me out there by far but I would be happy to provide this service to you. There are several excellent small scenario's in Chickamauga that I would recommend if you should choose to get this game while the JTS sale is on (!). Otherwise I can sugges... |

Cadet Steele <salute>
Welcome to the ACWGC!
British CSA players have been among the most enjoyable to whip (  ) and I wish you a speedy transit through VMI. Officers of the 5th Corps look forward to meeting you on the battlefield. |

Lt. Lanuza <salute>
Congratulations and welcome to the Club!
I must warn you that I became acquainted with Lt. Greenley many years ago. He was a young fox then, he's a very wily old fox now.
We are quite pleased to have him on our side of the fence.
Good luck sir! |

| Col. Nelson <salute> Your point is well taken, made even more so by the fact the hex size is 125 yards not 145. I have often used this limitation as an agreed to house rule as I know you have. It would surely be a good optional rule when, if ever, JTS invests the time into updating the rules for the... |

Welcome Cadet Terhune!
We at 5th Corps look forward to helping you shed the bad habits and false expectations that may have been instilled by great victories against the AI.
Best regards, |

Took me a while to figure out where to find the additional MP cost of moving adjacent to a unit that has deployed skirmishers.
This is found in the PDT table for the scenario.

| Lt. Campbell <salute> When was the picture taken? The last time I visited Gettysburg was before the NPS begin to restore the landscape there to its 1863 appearance. Where I was last standing near this location (1986) all I could see was second growth forest--no hint of the importance of the position... |

Scenario slightly favors USA due to VP lead, good defensive ground and fields of fire. Screenshot shows starting positions. Johnson's Res... |
