I own a 1861 Springfield 58 Cal, Rifled ... |

Ran into a great player in Rick Trembley. Sadly I bailed 20% into 2 games I feel bad and do not want to make a habit of that. With that said I have decided to play smaller shorter battles 1 in order to actually finish the game and 2 to learn this great game system.
Just felt the urge to post this |

| FELLOW GAMERS I am Grateful for the Internet in that it allows us to game more. WDS does a great job IMO in allowing recreation of the battles fought. I do however miss the FTF aspects in that the table banter was fun. It seems that that does not exist as much anymore. I often keep a paper log of my... |
