Me and my brigade are green as grass, but I think we have enough fight for you. Any scenario, any rules are fine by me.

Lt Magnus- I would like to try out one of the blind meeting engagements, since I haven't had the chance to yet. Either 065C_May 1863 Blind Meet (1 day) or Cam_May 1863 Blind Meet V.1 (2 days) would be fine to me, unless you object. Lt. Dylan McCartney IV Brigade/ I Division XIV Corps Army of the Cum...

Capt. Fitch- I believe it is because you didn't run the last non-32 bit patch. You need to make sure that you have Version 1.12 downloaded before you attempt to run the 32-Bit patch. If you already downloaded the 1.12 patch, make sure you run the program to install the patch by clicking on the icon ...

The Last Full Measure would also have had a good deal more for Chamberlain to do than Gods and Generals did. To be honest, I didn't like Gods and Generals much at all, although I enjoyed the book. Gettysburg, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movies. I think that f...

Are there any sort of tables or graphs that tally the number of active members over time? I realize "active members" can be difficult to define, but how do the numbers today compare to the past?

Fredericksburg offers a number of examples of how the ACW games, and our tactics, cannot represent the true tactics of the time. Francis O'Reilly writes in his Fredericksburg Campaign: <blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"...

Gods and Generals suffered from attempting to do too much, I think. Both the book and the movie left out good deal, and important parts were cut from the movie in particular. I think that a miniseries would be a better way to tell Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure simp...

I definatly agree that the artillery should be revamped. To use Fredericksburg as an example: one of the reasons that Pelham's gun attack was so successful was that initially, the Union guns couldn't hit him. The guns on the other side of the Rappahanock couldn't depress their barrels enough to hit ...

The units that we consider "elite" were all well ordered and disciplined units. We need to keep in mind that every time we fire, we're representing 20 minutes of continuous action. Units didn't necesarily just stand still and bang away at one another; there would be all sorts of actions included in ...
