| The closest I can think of is the Blair proposal in 1865 to halt the war and unite the country to fight the French in Mexico. Obviously, Lincoln had no interest in this. My history is a bit rusty but that's the general remembrance I have. |

| I believe Scenario 047 already does all this and includes action from September 18 - 20. |

| It appears to me Blake's opinion is that combat experience automatically makes a unit better than one without that experience. Needless to say, I disagree. Combat experience, generally speaking, does make a combat unit "better." If I am going into a combat zone and I can choose between ha... |

| We aren't really refighting historical battles if the ratings given the units already reflect what happened in the battle yet to be fought. The leaders, and units, are definitely being rated in terms of their performance 'on the day'. As appears here in advertisements for investment opportunities &... |

| I'm enjoying the discussions here. These are the sort of conversations I was hoping might spring up from time to time as a result of the videos. There really is no right or wrong philosophy here in regards to game design and creation. As long as the scenario is fun, and people want to play it, you'... |

| :mrgreen: I knew Paul couldn't resist. Which is more important - getting the ratings right from a gameplay perspective or from a historical perspective? That, my friend, is the biggest question for us all to answer. It is the pivotal question in many ways. And no matter which way you answer - you a... |

| Visited Stones River today and saw a long prominent billboard posting on the battlefield hiking trails about dogs potentially being banned from the NPS Battlefield. Maybe it will/would just be Stones River, or maybe all of them. People just don't clean up after their pets. The notice talked about th... |

| Hey Blake, how do you find those good quality images to use for maps in your videos? Are they in the game files somewhere that I can't find? Thank you! You can go to the File dropdown menu in the game and click on Snapshot and it will capture the game board. That's one option. I also do a lot of &q... |
