Thanks. A nice little article.
South Mountain made for a nice little tournament battle some years ago, as well, if I recall correctly. [:D]

Msr. de Meré President Lincoln was an imperfect human. He did his best to advance the cause of freedom for all men during his lifetime. Could he have done better? Yes, can't we all? Was his program seemless from the get go, or did he work within the limits of his times and his own human failings? O... |

Currently doesn't having skirmishers deployed cost the enemy an extra movement point? Why not add that feature to mounted cavalry? It would give them a little extra job to do, and a reason for players to risk the high VP's. MajGen Al 'Ambushed' Amos 3rd "Amos' Ambushers" Bde, Cavalry Division, XX Co... |

John, I understand the business needs behind your decision to lock the OOB.files in <i>Campaign Gettysburg</i>. I have a request. Once the other Eastern Theater campaigns CDs have been published, would you please go back to <i>Campaign Gettysburg</i> and unlock the OOB files. The Gettysburg Campaign... |

I would like to see all cavalry represented in squadrons or battalions. Full regiments do not allow cavalry to be used properly. Now if the OOB files weren't locked, I could make my own version for Gettysburg, and be happy as a clam, and not have to bother anyone. MajGen Al 'Ambushed' Amos 3rd "Amos... |

General Pierre, they're drunk. The main man is gone, and the Reb army has fallen into total disarray. Did you expect anything less? [:D]

Sing while playing the game. That should cover the missing music, and the screams of the wounded men and horses. [:p]
