Since I was just looking to play a game of the Battle of Belmont and as an example, I found the following and wondered how these could perhaps be rationalized- some maybe archived: 002 Bel_Belmont_Advance (Hist).scn 002a Bel_Belmont_Advance (Hist).scn 003 Bel_Belmont_Advance (Alter OB).scn 003a Bel...

Rich, I recently played an Atlanta campaign scenario, the 5th from this campaign, at New Hope Church with Hookers Corps and a couple of other divisions involved. There was no Union artillery at all and just 3 supply wagons for the 5 divisions (plus an additional attached brigade). The wagons were a...

Its in Corinth c3 u1 its an emplaced wagon as to the points i will lose them if recaptured I guess i should have just shot at them I looked through all the c3u1 scenarios and I think I found what you are talking about at {113,55} in Corinth/otto_c3u1. That's a weird thing I've never seen before. Th...

I don't think that there is such a thing. What is the title/scenario where it occurs? I suspect you have seen a Supply Source. A very different animal to a supply wagon. If so, it doesn't supply any small arms or artillery ammunition. Its sole purpose is in regard to isolation rules. I don't recall ...

I'll take a look at the map issue. As for the PDT, to make meaningful changes combined with uniformity, would require that "every" pdt file be changed throughout the entire series. Trying to tackle that and without the knowledge of why some are the way they are, does not really fit the sc...

I tend to think that the sooner the update is issued to fix the Artillery Thing, the better. However, I thank-you for giving us the opportunity to suggest some 'fixes'. Overall, I am impressed by the accuracy of research in the historical scenarios. Indeed, I purchased my first JTS title (after a lo...

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 ...
