God bless the tour apps. While I do still walk around with the ridiculously good Trailhead Graphics Maps (now out of print), these apps make life much easier. Trailhead Graphics Maps made visiting a battlefield super easy and fun. With a complete listing of every monument and tablet on the battlefi... |

Yes, thanks for the info. I wish that they had included it in the PDT but I suppose that there are reasons why it isn't. I probably should also add that when we say that a unit disappears because it is on an opponent's entry hex when reinforcements are brought on board, they truly just disappear. T... |

When last I checked, a unit on an arriving hex when the enemy shows up on it does disappear. To find the protective halo around an entry hex - go into the the Scenario Editor and load the scenario. Then go to the Units drop-down menu and select Scheduled. Then find the time and arrival force you are... |

Agree with Antietam over Gettysburg and Chickamauga over Shenandoah. But it does depend on what battles you enjoy playing. The old Talonsoft games don't work with Windows 11 as far as I know. There might be a workaround but with so many other titles it's easier to just retire those. The Matrix versi... |

Gen Strickler, I've downloaded the files from the site, but was under the impression when registering that an opponent would be picked for me on 3/1. How does that work? Should I advertise in the finder for an opponent? An email may have been sent, but I did find out from an opponent that they had ... |

It's always enjoyable to find little known Civil War monuments or markers in the most random of places.
The same with battles fought by former generals after the war. Whether it is Custer at Bighorn, Loring in Egypt, or Wheeler in Cuba, all would make for interesting destinations to visit. |

Yeah, Stephen Lang now represents both Pickett and Jackson in my brain. Lloyd Bridges is Jefferson Davis (North and South TV series) Raymond Massey is Abe Lincoln (Abe Lincoln in Illinois and How the West Was Won) Yes, I know Daniel Day Lewis played Lincoln more recently, but he is already engrained... |

I have a couple questions regarding these games. 1) Will we be receiving the file at the start of the game or at the beginning of our first turn? At the start of the game we'd be able to open the file and see all beginning troop dispositions and reinforcement schedules while receiving it at our fir... |

My wife and I are currently in North Carolina (we move around quite a bit). She asked if Georgia bordered North Carolina. "Yes," I said. "To the southwest." She then said, "then what's south of North Carolina?" :shock: There's no safe answer to that question without ge... |

I was randomly looking at a picture of Lee's death mask and the first thought that came to mind was, "That doesn't look all that much like Martin Sheen."
Thank you, Gettysburg, for forever etching Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee in my brain |

I have no objections, nor does anyone else "in charge" on the Cabinet, to players using whatever rules they can get someone to agree to in a private game. That is the business of the player's involved. But in Club Tournaments, the rules are what they are. If you don't like them, don't pla... |
