| I'm a relative newcomer (USA Class of December 2025), so please factor that into your reaction. Looking at Campaign Shiloh (for example) the naming conventions are a little confusing to the newbie. As I read through the list of scenarios, I'm pretty awed by the number of options/variants/what ifs (... |

| My name is Tony Hernandez. I have been a hex and counter guy for 10+ years, but feel embarrassed in just learning about JTS/WDS games these past five years. I am now completely in on WDS games. I play PzC like most, but i love the Napoleonic era and have now made the move over to enjoying the ACW. ... |

| Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. Could you tell me which book your battle scene is from? I can't seem to find it. Thanks The WDS version (4.05.5 the latest version) of Campaign Shiloh . From the File Menu->Selection you should get the File Selection Dialog. Set Status=New (top left) Mode=Normal (to... |

| I am a new player (USA Class of 12-2025), but I'm looking for smaller scenarios to start out. Plus I’m interested in tracing Grant’s career through the Civil War, so would you have any interest in the scenario "003a Bel_Belmont_Advance (Alter OB).scn” on the Battle of Belmont (Nov 7 1861) ? It’... |

| On Battle of Chantilly (Campaign Antietam), see this post . The command structure was confusing what with Isaac Stevens and Philip Kearny both killed, and I can see how this might be the best way to represent that confusion, but maybe worth a look? That is certainly an old post from 2020/2022. Bein... |

| 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_... |

| Just in case anyone else gets here with this still unanswered (I looked around couldn't find anything) as it's a little confusing, maybe deliberately so since Kierney and Stevens were KiA during the battle? A few points concerning Union scenario OOB versus wiki one here : There's no overall Army Com... |

I now have the Franklin, Gettysburg and Antietam campaigns too. Gen. Schwartz is running me though my drills (much app... |
