| As one of the voices complaining bitterly over this supposed imbalance, I feel I must add some findings/figures of my own to augment Kennons welcome research: Using the June 30th OOB as Kennon did, I attempted to further breakdown the particulars of the Infantry on either side. The Union AoP fields ... |

| I have an opponent in a very tricky situation on HPS 2nd Bull Run (Historical) and he's had to e-mail me to raise this very subject. He had Cavalry, mounted & dismounted, in the wooded terrain near the mapedge near the Reb reinforcement entry hex. I've swung a flanking column hard up against the edg... |

| How about an agreed house rule that retreating units ...be they routed, disrupted or undisrupted ...may only exit the map on pike, road, path and rail hexes? This would compromise and offer one side a way out and the other side a means to prevent escapes. Brigadier-General Jim Wilkes. 2nd Brigade, C... |

| I've just noticed that units being moved at night on an Ozark campaign aren't gaining any fatigue. I've checked the optional rules and the "night movement fatigue" option is selected. I've checked in other night turns of scenarios on Ozark and even set-up a test scenario of night turns just to check... |

| Gentlemen, We are currently heavily engaged in a modified version of the 3 day HPS Gettysburg scenario 007(large map). Unfortunately, one of the Union officers has had to withdraw from the game at turn #70 (of #158) after great efforts in the field. The situation hangs in the balance ...a veteran Re... |

| Try not to worry or be too much put off by sectional Artillery breakdown amongst the different games. As mentioned, sectional breakdown IS probably a better representation and is certainly fairer for the two opposing sides. I find the big scenarios on Gettysburg are the only situations where large n... |

| I am currently reading through volume I of Shelby Foote's Civil war narrative. I was thinking that the situation described of Lee's plan to attack Pope's Army of Virginia on the 17 - 20th August 1862 in it's position in the corner of the Rapidan & Rappahannock rivers would make for a good scenario. ... |

My thinking was that the Gods eye view of the battle map more than makes up for the loss of ability to communicate...resulting in something like the right amount of fog-of-war for a "realistic" experience.
