| I've noticed them before in both the game that Alan and I are playing as well as earlier scenarios but the current game is in HPS Peninsula, 1. Glendale to Malvern Hill: June 30 - July 1, 1862 using the 000Glendale2_sub.map. One of the hexes is either at 80,76 or 80,75. Alan, you may have just moved... |

| What are those hexes with numbers in them that cost about 8 movement points to move into (HPS games)? So far, all of the ones that I have stumbled into are in woods. You only see the numbers if you right click on the terrain hex in the menu strip (where the units and the hex terrain is shown along t... |

I created a submap from the main Gettysburg map in HPS Campaign Gettyburg that includes only the ground that was included in the BG Wheatfield to Roundtop map.

| I'm fortunate in that HPS Campaign Gettysburg doesn't have any patches or updates as yet. There are counterbalances built into the scenarios for the purpose of offsetting differences between the HPS and BG engines so that they will hopefully play as balanced as possible. Some of those differences ar... |

| Four new scenarios are available for HPS Campaign Gettysburg at Brett Shulte’s ACW Campaign Games Design Center (http://www.brettschulte.net/ACWCGDC/1863east.htm). They are very similar to the BGG Wheatfield to Roundtop and Longstreet’s Other Boot scenarios, along with a tweak here and there in ... |

| I love Knoxville. I went to UT there and worked in Knoxville for a year or two later on but that was a century or two ago. My best friend was born and raised there, retired from UT, and was a school teacher there for a short while. The wife and I still spend some vacation time almost every year in G... |

Thank you Gentlemen as we have a match. We'll find out if this scenario is worth playing and if it needs any adjustments to become balanced.

| Okay, we'll wait 24 more hours for a Reb commander to step forward. I realize that Gettysburg is a sore subject with Rebs but did all of you have to use your HPS Gettysburg disk to line the bottom of your shoes? If none step forward then we'll get it on with me seeing if I can play with the Reb side... |

The Union commander has stepped forward. A Reb commander is still needed.

E-mail me at tnbloodnguts@yahoo.com and the first Yank gets the Union side while the first Reb gets the Confederate side. You must have HPS Gettysbur... |

| 2Lt Notso, I cannot hang my head in shame. Miss Lulu was working as a barmaid when I discovered the truth about her. I was shocked not only from the numerous layers of fat that cascaded from her sides, arms, and legs but also those huge jaws that would make a hippopotamus proud. When I first saw her... |

| Gen Nelms, before you were even Colonel, it was easy to tell that you were going to be the Union CoA one day. That day came and you picked one heck of a year and a half period to do it. You did a fine job under very difficult circumstances and for that, you'll have to sleep outside under the stars f... |

| When I joined the club, it was full of role playing, silliness, and a lot of fun (it also had it’s problems that erupted now and then). The MDT was primarily for the serious stuff and most of the role playing occurred in the army forums. The club had the likes of Larry Wagner as the Badger who was... |
