| My opponent and I ran into the same problem with a HPS Gettysburg Armededdon scenario and submitted it to HPS Support. Maybe there really is a problem and it isn't just us messing up the file somehow. I told Rich to take his time with ours because we were going to continue to play since the impact w... |

| War is fickle! No matter what Momma told you, life is not fair and the cream does not always rise to the top. Lee learned a lot about command and control and the disbursement of troops (and the effects of weather) in West Virginia. His campaign there was a failure. If Joe Johnston had not been wound... |

| The two of us have met, Lt Col Hebert - from the Round Top to Cemetery Hill in a MP game between our two armies/corps. So that isn't Nicodemus hide that I had made into new boots? Sure hope that Nicodemus isn't bigger than that one or my mule is in big trouble! As for General Perrenod, he is a fine ... |

| Since no one else is answering, this may be as much news to them as it is to me. My guess would be that someone used the spreadsheets provided by Don Adams on his website that lists all of the HPS scenarios for several of the ACW games in an Excel format. They could be easily sorted by number of tur... |

| Kennon, If writing a special scenario/campaign depended upon people playing it, then none would ever be written. You just have to do it for the love of the game. The Norris-Frost tweeks to the BG series were extremely popular in the forums but either they weren't played much or the people who tended... |

| I'll offer a bit of negativity although I think that the idea holds merit. Balanced is a relative word. Having played both sides, I've noticed that the Rebs generally call an imbalance in their favor as balanced and the Yanks do the same (the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence). ... |

| Who is this imposter that claims himself to be Roger Hulinsky? That doesn't look much like the Roger Hulinsky that showed up at the 2002 ACWGC Reunion in Petersburg,VA. Roger Hulinsky was a young man. I believe that is General Hooker who has just narrowly escaped another undercover adventure and bee... |
