Hey no fair! I think Ned is old enough that he was there when it happened. [:D]

Probably!

I did find it funny when we were still playing the BG games that there seemed not particular logic to the titles given to the various games. Afterall, only Gettysburg and Chickamauga were named the same by both sides. Antietam and Bull Run received their common Northern name in the series, but Shiloh the Southern one. Granted that Shiloh is overall the far more common name nowadays for what was for many contemporaries initially the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing. But by that logic BGBR should probably have been issued as "Battleground Manassas". Don't know about Sharpsburg ... Antietam seems more common.

Mark? Bill? I can barely see you. Come closer so that I can tell who you are. This one has the strong arms and gritty jaws of a fighter and it has to be General Mark Nelms. Now, other fella, come closer so that I can tell who you are also. WHEWEEEE! You stink like a Reb, haven't shaved in a week, and that woman that you're with only has two teeth. Yep, you're Bill Peters! Wow, the rest of her feels pretty impressive though. Way to go, Bill!!!

There are some advantages to getting old!
