I had no information on these newer games and have just checked out the websites. T... |

| I am currently reading James Harrison Wilson's autobiography "Under the Old Flag" Wilson's very aggressive and modern use of cavalry at the end of the war should be considered when great cavalry commanders are compared.

| Gentlemen After the recent post by the gallant General Perrenod I did some research on the Klan. I am no expert but from a quick study on the web, with no vetting for the legitimacy and/or accuracy of the sources, there are some discrepancies - namely that there were at least two distinct Klans.

| I think Pierre is on the right track! For quite awhile now Ive been thinking about an all nighter where a teams of rebs and yanks square off real time on line and battle the night away. (Rich H. could help with this one I am sure) A virtual feed from KC and Tiller Con II is a great idea as well. I l... |
