A lot of Hitchcock's films are like that. Never a dull moment. |

| I still like the Ted Turner cameo in the movie. Always a fun easter egg. If I was a powerful celebrity I'd probably put myself in all my movies (and all the others I could). Much like Hitchcock, all the movies would become a sort of "find Blake" contest. Here is Hitchcock leaving a store i... |

| There is James K. Marshall who commanded Pettigrew's Brigade after Pettigrew took over for Heth. That's who I assumed "Marshall" was. In the Director's Cut of the movie there are added scenes with Ewell and others. But I can't recall if Hill has speaking lines. Hill played almost no part i... |

| I'm sure most of you probably figured it out after a minute or so. AP Hill has been cropped out of the promotional picture by TNT. His role was cut from the film so I suppose that's why they did it. They did leave his name on the sheet which is odd. They could not crop out Venable Marshall though. H... |

| Speaking of autographs of Generals, I found this little signed promotional photo from Gettysburg on eBay. Kinda cool. But can you find the very interesting "error." If you know the movie then you will eventually spot it. If you can spot it - don't say it right away. See if others can see ... |

| I'm always happy to see anything named after Civil War events/generals. Growing up near Chicago there was a village where all the roads north-south were battles (Bull Run Ave., Antietam Ln.) and the east-west roads were Union generals (Sherman St., McDowell Ct.). I am guessing whoever laid out the r... |

It would be fun if WDS opened up more uniform/icon options to add European forces in some "what if" scenarios.
But the argument over "quality" ratings would be very interesting 
Are the USA/CSA forces the best in the world by 1864? Beats me. |

| Gentlemen, We had a member volunteer to drive to Ernie's home and he was able to reestablish contact with Ernie. He is recovering from his shoulder surgery but is offline at present. He was unaware of the DOR issues and will look into them when able. We hope to more formally reestablish internet con... |

| Any law can be circumvented if you get enough lawyers. But the law was strengthened in 2023 and has worked to at least hear all the sides of an issue and then act. In Murfreesboro, Forrest Hall remains open at Middle Tennessee State University because the commission ruled against the petition to ren... |

| It's been a while since I visited Centennial Park in Nashville. Located there are numerous monuments commemorating many different groups and eras in Tennessee history. By far the most prominent area is the Parthenon model which is a full scale replica of the actual Parthenon which was built for the... |

| Gents, While I have always enjoyed WDS Chickamauga, it needed some fresh scenarios. Using the original Talonsoft version, and my own creativity in some cases, I have released a Chickamauga Expansion pack of 15 scenarios on the ACWGC Custom Scenarios page. It can be found here. https://www.acwgc.net... |

| Paul, as the CSA GinC my "plan" is to wait. There is nothing that can be done until we firmly establish what the future of the DOR is. Once we know that... then you and everyone else will know. Karl and Steve are on board with this because there is literally no alternative. Mustering is sh... |
