I've always had a problem with this question myself . . . The whole movie is an allegory. My tendency is to say that he rides off to die, because he doesn't want to stay and have the boy see him die. He wants the boy's father, played by Van Heflin, to dominate the kid's thoughts, and if he stayed an...

To my mind, for a war hero Murphy wasn't all that bad as an actor. Not that he didn't appear in some lousy movies, but when Howard Hawks or John Huston got their directorial hands on him, he wasn't too bad at all. In my opinion, his best acting job was as the volatile brother of Burt Lancaster and A...

I've read this book, but I found it dry and "perfunctory." Not very inspired. Like the author wrote entirely from memory and skipped the research part. Hard to put my finger on it. Have you read Duke Snider's autobiography? "The Duke of Flatbush"? You might enjoy the behind-the-s...

You're right as far as you go; there were trains at Manassas which were captured by enemy troops marauding behind lines. My question, however, deals with a train which entered an active field of battle, between the forces, while one side was advancing on another.

Well after general firing had erupted, and one side was advancing on the other with the intent of driving those opponents from their position . . . A regularly scheduled train emerged on tracks that ran across the path of the advancing troops. This happened during an actual 1862 Civil War battle. Wh...

My favorite Civil War trivia question is: With so many hundreds of thousands of bullets fired during the battle at Gettysburg, why don't any of the monuments have any bullet holes in them?

Once, in the finale scenario of a Franklin campaign, at a point where I had just achieved a minor-level victory, my opponent put in a termination bid at the current level. I refused the bid because I wanted the chance to attain a major victory . . . Whereupon my opponent refused to continue. That wa...

Sir: I am sorry you didn't receive my message. What is your email address? Perhaps it would be better to send a message directly to you, instead of through the club's 'personal message' system. I only play in phases, not single turn style. If you would like to play a Vicksburg campaign in phases, wi...
