| In our battle my Southern opponent decided on defense while I chose offensive action. However, early on I was fortunate enough to set an ambush for a recon in force unit(Jones Cavalry) and destroy it. This was counter acted to some extent by my attempt to flank his Army NE of Gettysburg by Kirkpatri... |

| After action report. With such a large map and uncertain arrivals the opposing Generals are presented with some true strategic challenges. 1. Go on the offense or defense. 2.If on defense-where to make a stand. 3. If on offense-where to attack Scouting is of the essence as entire Armies can disappea... |

| General Pierre D. Of course I highly respect your opinions( and for newer members we can NEVER underestimate the contributions of this outstanding officer). I did a quick survey of the opponents wanted section and it was running roughly 80% Yanks seeking Rebs. In the past i have seen it the opposite... |

| Col Mathews and I have started a battle using General Mihaliks version. We are on turn 22(of 300!!) and it is most interesting. I am playing the Union Col Mathews the South. The unkown arrival factors are really most challenging. The South had the misfortune of advancing Jones cavalry brigade into a... |

| Rule 4.2.1.3 says that maneuver games count as 1/2 points. Please allow me to argue against this. This is a very old rule and was institued to encourage players to play against the opposing Army rather than against ones own Army. This was to maintain Army allegiance,integrity and espirit de corp.I w... |

| I think my opponent and I are moving on to another scenerio but to continue the discussion: Obviously the bid system would only be applicable to maneuver games ie. Yankee versus Yankee or Reb versus Reb. Thus bringing up another point which is the points penalties for maneuver games.Before I continu... |

| A prospective opponent and I were discussing a scenerio that we might enjoy. However, we both agreed that it seemed to favor one side. I thought about bidding points for the perceived superior Army. Has this beeen tried? |
