Mark? Bill? I can barely see you. Come closer so that I can tell who you are. This one has the strong arms and gritty jaws of a fighter and it has to be General Mark Nelms. Now, other fella, come closer so that I can tell who you are also. WHEWEEEE! You stink like a Reb, haven't shaved in a week, an... |

Scenario 147 (same as historical 144 but has an exit hex for Union at rear of Confederate lines just to keep the Reb on the battlefield); ALL OPTIONS ON; and I'll start with a bang on file returns but once a lot of Union units are involved, I can be sporadic.

I always look over the TS ACW scenarios and HPS ACW standalone battles in manual mode before I play. I tend not to do so in HPS ACW campaign games for two reasons: 1 - I kinda like the blindness of them with the big maps to play with but if my opponent can figure out what scenario that we're actuall... |

All options on for the HPS Gettysburg Historical 1 scenario (3 day Battle of Gettysburg). I'm a bit sporadic as I'll do 5 turns some weeks and 1 turn in ten days other times, thus I like to call myself a 2 turn per week player. I'll accept expert or beginner as the fun is in the playing (winning is ... |

The only way to beat him is to ... to ... well, if I knew that then I wouldn't be getting my behind kicked. Regardless of the outcome, its an honor to play such a gentlema... |

Well bust my buttons, ain't this a pretty trinket. Who drew the bull's eye on it?
