| Columns are a funny thing. I am not sure that each engine actually treats them the same way. Take REN for example, or -well actually EAW might be a better example; even NB - some columns can fire, some can't. Some lines in REN represent 2, 3 or even 4 men deep lines - ok, technically that is for lin... |

| I believe I read somewhere the leader issue is primarily to prevent replacement officers being used as throwaways since their value is practically nothing as are the benefits they provide. The melee bonus for hordes of secondary leaders (ones that are there to serve as replacements) are not insigni... |

Ok- MS Office (ad based) -wants me to switch to Open Office 4.0 and update my files to show OO as the default program. Time to ditch MS Office ad supported from my HD... no worries. Someday it migh... |

| What it means is that there are some people selling on Amazon that are nutty. I have actually seen worse, as I had to edit the store on my site to bury some of the really ridiculous prices - like I think one title some fool wanted like about $150 or so for it .... probably on the 'theory' that if no... |

Apparently a solution was found, but nothing changed for me -where do you have this mod hosted at, Joe? :) Edited: NM - got it - y... |

| Before Cornwell the term 'Copperhead' referred to a northerner with southern sympathies. While I have the Cornwell books, I haven't gotten around to reading them (I think if memory serves me right there are currently 4 in that Starbuck series- with I think more planned - leastwise last time I checke... |

| I went to school in Charleston Illinois - aside from where the fairgrounds are located being the site of one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, there was (probably still is for all I know) a monument on the town square where there was a copperhead riot in town (it was regarding one of the drafts iirc).... |

| John, my response was in regards to Joe's mentioning about assembling a team to contact. I meant there were probably more people who have had interaction with JTS than some might expect. ____ Anyway with regards to the last post (by NSims) - I would strongly recommend that if anyone does choose to g... |

| John, you are quite correct, and I am hopeful that someone within the club would be willing to further and specifically experiment on these items so that we might approach JTS/HPS with good cause, if the data permits it. How about it, people? Anyone out there who'd like to conduct some additional f... |

| If the OOB files are editable in a title, then if you follow the info at Ken Miller's fine site- then basically, yes you can add in leader portraits -to your heart's content - provided you are willing to edit the OOB files and point to the correct slot on the file. In fact, if I am not mistaken Ian ... |

| I don't believe the historical scenario is broken -and tend to agree with Mr Hebert- if anything it is exceedingly tough to win as the South -as their artillery train (their over all arty ammo situation) is far poorer than the Union's. In addition there are ample positions that the Union player can ... |

| The idea that defense was inherently bad came from WW I as the French practiced it. This caused me a raised eyebrow, are you meaning Plan XVII? The French offensive at the start of the war which relied on élan -or rather bayonets with unloaded rifles -which was brought to grief by the German defenc... |
