| General Walker <salute> I am sure my opponent is fine as I have played him before, so that is not the issue. However, I may be playing with hard ZOC because I did not re-set game when I started. I bet that is it! I appreciate your insight. Major Elkin Asst. COS (acting) AoT It's just like shooting s... |

| Officers of both South and North <salute> It seems I have gained a "reputation" for the tough loss I sustained at Gettysburg. I certainly appreciate the talents of Tricky Nicky as a commander! http://presse.saalbach.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tricky-nicky.jpg In all seriousness, Nick was able to... |

| It could simply be my ineptness, but it seems that Union causilities in this battle are much higher than in other campaign games. Has anybody else experiecned this issue, or is it just me being as dumb as Hooker. My experience has been as high as 40 to 1 ratios. Here are the causalities as reported ... |

| <salute> I shall certainly do so sir! After reading the article, it may be Hood had a chance to win the battle. A website dedicated to General Hood vehemntly denies that he was "poor general" and attacks Wiley Sword's books that deal with the general. A different view can be found here: http://johnb... |
