| Can anyone explain terrain modifiers to me and how they effect fire and melee modes exactly? |

When I play games sometimes I see a percentage in parenthesis like this in the strength menu.
1667 2nd Bde (Crook) (67%)
What would the 67% refer to? |

| Well what is true and what not? General Whitehead seems correct with his statement: But in the cases mentioned he was probably right and it is a good generals responsibility to identify why a failure occurred and hopefully taking steps to fix it. Lee tented to accept responsibility almost to a faul... |

| Excerpt in question: Grant was furious. "This last attack only served to increase our casualties without giving any benefit whatever," he wrote some twenty years later, still chagrined. Quick as ever to shift the blame for any setback or evidence of shortcoming: at Belmont it had been over... |

| I was listening to The Civil War Part II on audiobook today and a sentence Foote wrote about Grant struck me as interesting. In reference to his failure to take Vicksburg with an all out assault Foote commented that Grant, "once again, as was his habit, looking for a scapegoat to blame." H... |

One heck of a battle it sounds like. What would them Yankees do without their big guns?  |

| Correct me if I am wrong but this is my basic understanding. If a unit takes losses during its turn then the next movement phase it will take a morale check. If it fails the check it will rout. All determined by a roll of the mythical dice. 1) Does it matter at all if the unit takes just one casualt... |

| Greatly done, gentlemen! I enjoyed reading this and hope you do another. I'd love to see more such AAR's so well done. How Mahone survived that battle is a mystery to me. Sometimes opponents try to shoot up a regiment rather than just capturing it ASAP once it is isolated. In my opinion once a unit ... |

| It appears I have been promoted once more against my wishes. I had just gotten used to the rank of Captain when this confounded courier arrived with a new set of orders for me. MAJOR?! Little did I imagine when I whipped those cowardly Yanks in battle that it would mean such nonsense as this. Back h... |

| I was reading a book on the Battle of Antietam and it quoted soldiers describing the sound of battle being the greatest they ever heard. All books seem to have such a section dedicated to how "loud it was." Ever really wonder what the actual loudest sound of the war was though if it could ... |
