I would like to find custom scenarios for the WDS ACW series games. In particular the "Stonewall at Gettysburg" for the JTS/WDS Campaign Gettysburg game. Was a scenario for that game ever done or is that just for Battleground Gettysburg? |

And you do have a good point as there were hills within woods that had no trees (ie. "bald knob") but frankly I never cared for the idea of seeing over trees unless its a very big difference in the elevations. I forget if you can see from "Round Top" (Big Round Top) on the Gettys... |

"Some other changes seem odd. For example: Adjusted so that Artillery can not unlimber within forests or villages unless they have a clear (non-Forest or Village) hex in any direction; and Adjusted so that Artillery in forests/villages will not benefit form a defensive hex bonus versus ranged a... |

Thanks for all the participated in the poll. While I was disappointed that so few participated, it serves as a point of reference for seeing which format of play is used by the majority. |

And I enjoyed Edwin Coddington's book on the Battle of Gettysburg which went into great detail on the decisions by both Union and Confederate leaders during the course of the days leading up to the battle and that of the four crucial days in July that decided the fate of the Eastern Theater. |

Its been two weeks since this initial post was made and nothing is happening. Please remove my name from that hat. If the challengers want opponents they need to be more timely with responses. And may I say, I hope neither of them has fallen ill. Just seems like the challenge has been accepted but t... |

I am in a game with Bob Hughes and in discussing the locations for the three VPs on the northern side of the game map we both agree that reducing those (or removing them) would be the best move. Currently each is 500 VPs. Bob agreed with my proposal to reduce them to 250 VPs ea. One is on Oak Ridge,... |

This poll is about which "turn format" you prefer. There is a growing trend for some to revert to the original multi-phase play format. Then there are those of us that feel that the Single or Dual Phase is better. I am curious to find out how many of the members like the older mulit-phase ... |

This is a good thread but I wish that this list would be updated to reflect the current set of Optional Rules as shown in the Optional Rules Dialog (ORD). Add in an image too that shows the latest Opt. Rules Dialog. For instance: Manual Defensive Fire is really not needed, unless you are a control f... |
