| No Wing commander level in the ACW series, like we have in the Napoleonic series, to facilitate that extra level of command needed in these situations? I would make Meade the Wing Commander and Grant the Army commander. |

| It would be nice to hear from some of you guys that are very knowledgeable on the subject of routed ACW units during the war. What WOULD they do once the first rout move was done? I wont even try and use Hollywood films as a basis for my answer (its called I don't really like the taste of residual m... |

| I found in my discussion with the late Doug Strickler that it fruitless to disagree with him on his decisions for the game. He zinged me good with the II Corps topic where I wondered why the corps arrives on the first day. His answer was spot on saying that they were there but when the hills were no... |

| And both of those regiments are already part of Longstreet's and Early's brigades. Rich Walker already had "detached" them to the other commands. So no need to build another OB file. So just to clarify: Holmes' brigade remained on the right and never engaged. Two of his regiments did being... |

| Hi Paul - I will add Holmes' brigade in as reinforcements then. Seems the best way to do this. I really hate that one Union division is stuck to the rear while Ewell is free to roam about. If we go by historical then I will leave Ewell out. For the attachments you mention for Holmes, I will build a ... |

| I believe Scenario 047 already does all this and includes action from September 18 - 20. I guess I should have looked LOL! It's been a day! Oh Rich, we Scenario Designers deserve an "Oops, missed that one" ... ;) Now that I am more or less retired from WDS design work and playing the game... |

| Nice input, guys. Thanks. Looks like Ewell was busy marching to and fro and could easily be taken out of the game while Holmes never was engaged making his status similar to Miles. If we want to play a "Historical" scenario then we should be fair to the Union. Removing those two brigades w... |

| I know that Ewell's brigade spent the battle counter-marching and was not truly engaged in the Battle of First Bull Run but what of Holme's Brigade? From what I gather, Holmes was part of Ewell's command. Did this mean that he and his men also did not take part in the battle? |

| Most of my OB unit rating for the Napoleonic Battles games was done with the reputation of the unit, prior to the battle, as my basis for the morale rating or the leader's command/leadership values. Not its performance on the battlefield in question. That would be like building a MLB game of the 196... |

I like the changes. More ranged fire from now on. I echo your sentiments that Blake did a great job of go... |
