Hi all,

New recruit for the Union army here. I'm looking forward to many battles and learning a lot in the process.

I'm a retired computer programmer and live in Pennsylvania, less than an hour from Gettysburg. I have a lot of wargaming experience going back to the Avalon Hill / SPI days. I'm new to John Tiller games though.

In a past life I served in the U.S. Marine Corps and spent time in the artillery. So I'm looking forward to all those wonderful Union cannons.

I'm anxious to begin the gaming, get to know new friends, and enjoy the club's camaraderie.

Welcome aboard Mike! Here's to a long and successful career!

I'm also in PA about 24-25 miles from Gettysburg, so we're in the same neighborhood.

Hi Jim,

I'm located just south of Scotland, which is just outside of Chambersburg.

Maybe if we get enough of Pa guys here we can form the Pennsylvania Reserves all over again :wink:

Welcome Mike and Semper Fi Marine, did 3 years in the Corps 70-73.

Have a lot of fond memories of Gettysburg, was a member of the Friends for 25 years until they merged with the Gettysburg Foundation.
Made the trip from Pittsburgh every spring and fall for their Weekend Musters, spending Saturday on guided tours of the battlefield.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Once training is finished I'm looking to forward to participating in battles with as many folks as possible.

Ken - I was in from 77-83. We didn't miss each other by much. Semper Fi.

Welcome to the Union Army, Michael. I live about two hours west of Gettysburg in Somerset, PA. My youngest son graduated from Gettysburg College in 2001. I've spent many a happy day on the battlefield. You will really enjoy the ACWGC.
