There will be a short delay while I consult the local wiseman for advice on how to install & run BG games as I no longer own a steam powered system running Windows 3.1 I will go and exhume my Chickamauga game disk from it's burial mound...

| Bill may well be right. If he is, hopefully EVERY Reb in the club will read this: Go directly to the opponent finder forum and read my challenge posted there. First come, first served x3. I've just had a severe drubbing at the hands of General Kennon Whitehead ...and am ready to get some revenge. Br... |

| Reading some of the topics lately, across all the open forums, I'm worried by the "unhappy" tone of some of the postings. I shall endeavour to do my bit to encourage some "life" in the PBEM arena. I have all 11 of the HPS Civil War titles (plus the 5 old BG ones too though they aren't currently inst... |

| So: When is a Creek a Creek and not a River? ...and at what point does a Creek become a River and vice-versa? I guess the difference between a Stream and a River is better understood but what exactly is a "Creek"? The term doesn't seem to be in common usage outside the United States. I'm off to Goog... |

| The room where my PC is set-up becomes rather like the prisoner "sweat-box" from 'Bridge on the river Kwai' during the hotter summer days ...attending to lengthy game turns can be simply uncomfortable for much of the time. Plus it really is better to limit time spent doing indoor pursuits when the s... |

| Originally I played games entirely in 3D at all times. I've now arrived at a balance of playing pretty equally between the 2D & 3D views, switching back and forth between the different zooms as I play a turn. I've suffered too many frustrations with the curse of the invisible Orchard in 3D to be abl... |

| I think way too much emphasis is placed on individuals when reading about the ACW. Rightly described as the "first modern war" ...I think we tend to romanticise the accounts left to us and place overmuch importance on the leaders involved. Let's be clear: The North wins the ACW whatever happens. Any... |

The first Rout Test study involves ALL Infantry Regiments being present on the map, stacked at map-edge in Brigade stacks ...with... |

| Get with the script Frank you old banshee... I think you're looking at the "small" map version of the 3 day battle that is designed for the young boys and old ladies to play with! Us veterans usually refer to the "big" map 007 version of the fight as being the real deal and only one worth considerin... |

| I'm playing the 3 day battle as the Reb side. It's got to night of day one and John Bell Hood and his Texans have just arrived. Great! I thought ...but then just as I was moving the Divisional Artillery along I thought to myself: "where the hell is the supply wagon?". Well, it's not here. It's not o... |

I require a Reb officer to take control of the Union side whilst I attempt to prove my point commanding the Reb forces on scenario 007 the "classic" 3 day Getty battle on the large map. This challenge may best ... |
