Instead of permanent ranks, I would suggest 'brevet' ranks above Brigadier General, corresponding to the positions...

I was having trouble stacking with artillery units until I found in the new rules that one artillery piece is now equivalent to 80 men. That is a big jump from 25 men. ...... When I edited the User Manual in 2019 Artillery counted as a 50 men for Stacking, not 25. This goes back to the old BG days....

Scott,

Got home today, sent you the original zipfile I download some 25 years ago.
I did add an Open Office conversion of the Help file I made using an online convertor some years ago to it.

Hey Rich, Not sure they can be these days. Do you happen to have the scenario editor add on that used to be available on John's page? As for your post count. We have two profiles for you that go way back. https://www.wargame.ch/board/acwgc/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1371 I'll email you l...

If you are comfortable with Windows Explorer you go to the Saves folder of the game. Find the file name, in this case My Campaign.cpf and open it with Notepad or any plain text editor you use. You should see something like this. Campaign Gettysburg-weather.cpd 0 3 B1 0 0 0 -1 -1 ----- PEM Header ---...

I worked with Walt Dortch after Joe Meyer had to retire suddenly.
He and Jim Boling stepped up to keep the Union Army functioning.
He was an asset to the Union Army and the ACWGC and will be missed.
My condolences to his family.

Having 8 as a "hard" number -- historically correct or not -- would work against the 6-gun Union batteries. The CSA could stack 8 with their organizationally smaller units. Don't know if this was part of WDS thinking, but to be "fair" would require reworking Union OOBs. Their ch...

Congratulations Colonel Welder.

The ACWGC Special Service Award is a new award on me.

The DOR looks great. I do have a problem in that none of the files containing actual data will open in my Excel program, even though they appear to be Excel files. I'm running Office 2010 on my desktop and not having any problems opening the DoR records. I do get a notice that the file was download...
