| Or... you're still wondering why Hood attacked a fortified Nashville with a wide open flank back in November 1864, while outnumbered. Or you understand Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian, despite being really good at validation. Edited to add: this from Lt Gen Strickler, though, apparently you hear duelin... |

| Appears that my times in the club before I managed to miss this thread's active periods. On the other hand things would have changed even if I had. I've been a federal, state, and local public servant in two different countries since 1990. I've been involved in stewardship of public monies, coaching... |

| After testing that out - a couple of things. 1) It's really interesting to learn the differences between engines in OOB structures - so will be really interested in the results, and no doubt learn something new. 2) Name length is an issue in some instances- 1 I recall noting -is Maj Gen Pickett (I t... |

| Disclaimer- have had a OOB coding experience in a project with Musket and Pike (involved testing the engine change to up the amount of armies allowed in a scenario) -it's basically identical in a conceptual sense. I am going to have to plug this into Overland a bit later and see what happens, althou... |

| Want to dive back in here for a sec, because I am maybe convinced I found another one - in the newest title - I am pretty sure on the Westport maps that the Little Blue River is shown as a full water hex width, (this is well east of there - east of Independence as it happens), and I have crossed whe... |

| Serious question --- maybe more of a map design philosophy type one: - it wasn't touched on above, but what are your thoughts on water that is at higher elevations that all of the surrounding terrain? To me it just makes for a strange treatment of a water table (or maybe missing something.) - I noti... |

| Am only just coming back to this- the thing is, however, on this figurative, 'other day's dance' it was in fact the Overland Campaign followed by the Petersburg Campaign. I'd argue that none that happened during the course of either of the two following campaigns were either, but rather the impact o... |

Sounds like an ambitious goal (if for no other reason, I have an idea of how long some of the scenarios might be. Looking forward to he... |
