Yeah, Stephen Lang now represents both Pickett and Jackson in my brain. Lloyd Bridges is Jefferson Davis (North and South TV series) Raymond Massey is Abe Lincoln (Abe Lincoln in Illinois and How the West Was Won) Yes, I know Daniel Day Lewis played Lincoln more recently, but he is already engrained... |

I have a couple questions regarding these games. 1) Will we be receiving the file at the start of the game or at the beginning of our first turn? At the start of the game we'd be able to open the file and see all beginning troop dispositions and reinforcement schedules while receiving it at our fir... |

My wife and I are currently in North Carolina (we move around quite a bit). She asked if Georgia bordered North Carolina. "Yes," I said. "To the southwest." She then said, "then what's south of North Carolina?" :shock: There's no safe answer to that question without ge... |

I was randomly looking at a picture of Lee's death mask and the first thought that came to mind was, "That doesn't look all that much like Martin Sheen."
Thank you, Gettysburg, for forever etching Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee in my brain |

I have no objections, nor does anyone else "in charge" on the Cabinet, to players using whatever rules they can get someone to agree to in a private game. That is the business of the player's involved. But in Club Tournaments, the rules are what they are. If you don't like them, don't pla... |

I know the author had to draw the line somewhere or it would stop being a "quick" read coffee table book. The one I don't get is John Hunt Morgan. He's simply not in the same category as the others as far as name recognition, importance, and command responsibilities. |

Never follow the script if you can help it. Though, ironically, every once in a while the enemy won't expect you to follow the script, in which case follow the script |

That is good news, but what do you do when one opponent wants to upgrade but another opponent does not? Do we create a second game folder by downloading the game from WDS again and thus have a game folder for each of the two updates? Given how large most HDD's are today, what I do is right-click on... |

WDS says that it is and I haven't heard any problems with doing so. Both people must update at the same time though. |

I asked Rich about this a year or two ago. Doug Strickler was working on it when he passed and it was unfinished. The map is large but it is missing lots of terrain features and has large unfinished areas. I don't think it's usable as a whole. WDS has no plans to finish the map as of now. |
