Thanks for the welcome!
I am hoping to get my feet wet with the Talonsoft games first. I still need to get my moneys worth from the purchase 15 years ago! LOL!
I am interested in the Vicksburg and Atlanta HPS games, those have always been my favorite campaigns to study (besides Gettysburg). |

| So Winfield Scott had a son who was colonel in the regular army? I wonder what happened to him. I'm sure he must have risen to general in the war. You raised an interesting question....I did some searching and found this in google book entitles "Civil War high commands By John H. Eicher, David... |

| Sirs! My apologies for diverting this topic slightly. I do not own any HPS games.....but am very interested in them. They appear to be more involved and offer a better, more advanced, game engine than the Talonsoft games that I own. (For you Rebs future records, I own all of the Talsonsoft games). I... |

Their press release states: "In collaboration with highly esteemed Civil War historians, HISTORY combed through hundreds of individual accounts of the battle to find the unique voices of struggle, defeat and triumph that tell the larger story of a bitterly c... |

Played for a bit, graphics are cool....I can describe it using two analogies: 1. playing the game is kind of like herding cats. 2. It is kind of like the old football game I had as a kid, you know the one w... |
