I smell a rat.
The only 'problem' at my end has been a rare case of me not fully completing a turn and sending a file that my opponent is unable to open. A problem that is able to be promptly resolved. |

| What determines how and how far a unit moves after it routs? A number of things but mainly: terrain; presence of enemy units; and presence/number of friendly units. Does it help to have units behind the front line in order to decrease the distance a unit routs? That will not help decrease the dista... |

| I'm very glad that the Cabinet has sought input from Members prior to, yet more, Rule changes. I hope that many Members contribute their thoughts so ‘what the people want’ can be seen. To me, the main thing to decide is what is the goal of changing/not changing the current process. I'm basically thi... |

| I stumbled across an amusing thread at CivilWarTalk ( https://civilwartalk.com/threads/chatgpt-trusted-resource.217397/ ). In the opening post the Member asked an AI engine to draw him a map showing the major troops movements at the Battle of Gettysburg. Here's what he got: https://civilwartalk.com/... |

| I'm sorry to hear you didn't get a response. I don't usually play manoeuvres except for training but I think I would enjoy playing against an experienced opponent. A courier will soon be dispatched but not for a little while as it's currently the middle of the night for me and I'm about to pack up f... |

| The issue with artillery and ammunition isn't so much that the Confederates "didn't have enough" but that what they had was often defective. There was also a huge mixture of weapons in each unit. ... guess what the main complaint was of Confederate gunners? My knowledge of the small arms ... |

I am not trying to cause a... |

Here's someone above that, like me, has played a lot of games as both armies saying it's evident the rule destroys nearly every scenario for the Union side, and your response is to provide a handful of examples to back your stance while completely disr... |

| "Would Stuart have left the Cavalry Corps if asked by Lee?" I'm confident that General Stuart, and many others, would have done anything General Lee asked of them. However, I have doubts that Lee would have asked him. Stuart's infantry experience was limited although he did well for a tim... |

| I've yet to play with the latest version but the change with guns sounds good to me. Upping the stacking figure to 80 [from 50] should lessen the ability to cram as many guns in a hex [not as much for my liking but that's another story]. So, in a 1,000 man stacking limit scenario you used to be able... |

| Whenever I see pictures from America I always note the abundance of flags. It is a rare thing here. The man across from me used to fly a flag but he moved out last year and I do not know of any flags being displayed (apart from public buildings) in the entire town of about 90,000 people. There are p... |

One of the main reasons I chose to live where I do was the presence of a sizable public hospital.

| I joined the club very early on following its inception and have watched the games evolve since then. I was in the Union Army until about 5 years when I switched to the south in order to experience all the fun from the southern side. As my record will attest I don't care much about winning and will... |
