| Robert, I was told that the fire itself is conducted separately, each units casualties being determined individually. I was also told that each firing action results in a check for whether or not a morale check is made, whether the crew is killed and whether a gun is destroyed from artillery fire. T... |

| Lt. Gen Bird, Two things you may not be aware of, one is a change made for Chancellorsville game. When an artillery unit is fired upon by small arms fire, there is a probability that the artillery unit will become Uncrewed. This probability is determined by the Crew Kill Parameter Data Value. For a ... |

| No, highlighted Command Range is based on the PDT value, whatever that says is what you see when you check highlight Command Range. I ran a test in Gettysburg and this is correct. Moved Meade 7 hexes from Patrick. Patrick was in command range but Detached. Moved Meade within 6 hexes, next turn Patri... |

| In looking through my personal record I was amazed to discover John and I had never played each other. We had so many contacts over the years as part of our club interactions and admin work. He took part in all 3 of the Tessier style games I ran and in all our contacts I found him to always be a fir... |

| There is a scenario for BG Gettysburg The Stonewall at Gettysburg with the premise Jackson survives his Chancellorsville wound and is at the battle. Although it may be based on a mistaken notion that Lee would not have introduced a third corps had he survived. Several books I've read appear to indic... |

| Gen. Milhalik is correct. If you're an old boardgamer or miniature player this might be easier to understand. Crew Kill Value=100 Fire Results = 25 Needed to kill crew Result<=(25/100)*100 Roll 2 different color 10 sided dice, say red/white red =2, white=6 result 26= crew ok, takes fatigue. red=2, w... |

Lt. Gen. Thompson,
Pat,
Welcome back, getting to be like old times in the AotS.
I returned to active duty after a couple years off and Gen. Hodgkiss recently returned.
Now if only Gen. Walter and Gen. Perrenod were to return. |

My first Tiller game was Battleground:Ardennes in 1995, currently I have over 50 Tiller games in my collection.
I agree with the comments about the years of enjoyment I have gotten out of these games and wish to add my thanks to all involved. |

| Update...this looks to be the old SSI game.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yk_V7KWk7U There were some features of these SSI games that I wish would be incorporated into the JTS games, but graphics isn't one of them. It was better on the Commodore 64, but not by much. Still, considering the compu... |

Gen. Mills,
A year ago we had a short discussion about your scenario work and although I did not take part in the tournaments you put together, your work looked very well done. Your efforts were definitely a plus for the club and I am sorry to see you leave after such a brief return. |
