| An amusing one from Teddy Roosevelt (a generation later but can still be stretched to Civil War weaponry) is when he was presented a repeating rifle before embarking with the Rough Riders to Cuba. "Bully! I may not always shoot straight, sir, but I shall shoot often!" I need a bumper stick... |

| we especially encourage you Rebs to drink up now, before you’re too heavily engaged on the field by a freshly revitalized Union Army officer corps! I read "revitalized" as "REFERTILIZED Union Army officer corps." I thought you were finally admitting to what we knew all along. Wh... |

| I was reading a book on the Civil War and the author inserted a brief hypothesis of "what if's" which deserved much more than the paragraph or two he allotted them. Jackson's successful Valley campaign caused the detachment of McDowell's 40,000-man corps from McClellan's army just when it ... |

| It is safe to say, sir, that had I lived in 1861 - 1865 that, based upon these games, I would have been the greatest general of the war. Especially against General A/I. But knowing what we do about the battles from our eye in the sky into the sandbox below it really makes it almost too easy at times. |

| In the previous versions of Gettysburg the brigades in the CSA were named after their commanders (i.e. Archer's Bde). Now they are given generic state identifications (i.e. Tennessee Bde). This doesn't seem to make any sense since numerous brigades have units of different states and the order of bat... |

| Just finished a book entitled American Scoundrel: The Life of Daniel Sickles by Thomas Keneally. A decently good book though almost all of it discussed his notorious trial for killing Key. It really should have been renamed something else as half the book concerned that one event. But when it got to... |

| Love the idea of engineering units. And it would be nice if you could bridge over creeks in some scenarios. For instance at Bull Run. The Federal army, once the Stone Bridge was blocked, seemed to have no problem getting across it on foot. But in the scenarios it is as uncrossable as the French Alps. |

For example the higher movement points, I would suggest adding a new line for Movement Parameters into the PDT. Current PDTs list the movement points for Infantry, Cavalry, Artill... |
