My question is simply "should any and all leaders be equal in a melee?" Paul said he would like to factor the quality of the Leader into the equation which is a fair opinion/argument to have. But taking the games as they are currently designed is what I am looking at. As designed, the gam...

It looks like the poll question has changed. It is now more focused on 'chain of command' which is a different issue than that originally polled. My earlier questions relate to the poll as it was previously, not the new one focused on 'chain of command'. It is now asking me to submit my vote again. ...

If we stay with what is available now and not try to recode for a better way. Then if the question is, should any leader be allowed to inspire and rally the men to charge, then I say yes. I'm sure I could find historical examples if I had the time, but just off the top of my head, I think that any ...

There was no 'comments' section in the poll so I guess you'd like them posted as a normal forum comment. I voted 'No'. It seems silly that some nobody with command experience (a Replacement Leader) should inspire his men to the same effect as a truly inspiring leader such as J.E.B. It would be bette...

About 25 years ago, the club was pretty much predicated upon the principles that Paul is talking about. Role playing existed to a great extent. But some members weren't used to being talked to in that manner and others went a bit overboard with their roleplaying as well. Even though there was a lot...

I don't think you are wrong to wish that there was a greater sense of "us vs. them" in the Club. I wished that also. But since I joined I have found extremely little of that attitude and have found everyone on both sides more than willing to help out with anything when asked. I used to wo...

Accordingly, the ACWGC encourages voluntary role-playing by members to portray the spirit and language of the Civil War era and the natural rivalry between the Confederacy and the Union ."[/i] Voluntery does not equal mandatory. People are free to share, collaborate and work together all they ...

I'm wondering why the GinC of the Confederate Army is providing aid and comfort to the other side by providing them with tips and advice. For the same reason my Union friend Ned Simms is contributing - we love the Club and want everyone to do the best they can! :mrgreen: It seems to be against the ...

All. I also think other sub groups within the club could be useful such as Teams You can join for MP play and explain that MP games let you Experience A large Battle without the Time it takes to move Large Armies I've generally found that MP games are slower than one on one games. Unless a MP game ...

YES, I KNOW VERY DISHEARTENING I guess I just don't get it I'm not personally interested but I do have a couple of comments to make for your consideration. Firstly, you are a 'mixed team'. The Club rewards 'Battles' over 'Maneuvers' with Maneuvers only attracting half the OBD points compared with B...

My advice; don't try to defend Gettysburg with Buford . The CSA will learn to hate them on day one if used correctly. I agree. Buford has had a prominent role in both games. In neither has he attempted to defend against Heth's advance to Gettysburg. I think that Buford would only try to stop Heth w...

My revised scenario for the Battle of Gettysburg (Gettysburg Supplied) has now been made available in the 'Customized Scenario Database' which can be found here ( https://www.acwgc.net/customgames ). This scenario is essentially '007 Gettysburg' with the following changes. Supply Some consider that ...

My thoughts on the changes to Gun Losses, the User Manuals states both Fire and Melee use the same Combat Results process for determining # men lost. The difference being that Fire uses the Adjusted Fire Value and Melee uses the adjusted strength of the opposing side. Regarding the increase in Gun ...
