| So is the thinking here that the breastwork being built is a full hexside in actual length, meaning that 400 men could constuct one faster than 40 men? Or was the idea that a unit need only construct a breastwork for their own particular frontage, which would equally apply the 18% probability? Maj. ... |

| <i>"5:30 am by who's watch? 8:00 by who's watch? Not like they were all using GMT back then. Times in personal accounts are very inaccurate in that time period. That said, we can't exactly pinpoint 8 game turns as an accurate time. It could have been only a couple of hours, it could have been four. ... |

| Sunrise of September 20th, 1863 occurred around 5:30, pre-dawn about 5:00 AM. If as Hazen states the breastworks were completed "long before 8:00 A.M.", then it took the equivalent of eight game turns (5:20 to 7:40) to finish all of the breastworks. (For purposes of this discussion I am conveniently... |

Oh, I suppose its true that I've overindulged from time to time in preparing the old newspapers, but that is nothing compared to the almost continous toasting for which General Laub is noted! Of course, he... |
