| 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. |

| Thank you, sirs! I genuinely enjoy my time doing all these extra events and projects. Without the ACWGC to amuse me for a few hours a day I am sure I'd get more things done and the wife would nag me less. But, hey, everyone has to have a hobby, right? I also enjoy all the interactions with my fellow... |

| Here is the response to our inquiry about Leader Points from WDS: The Leader Victory Point calculation is in proportion to the scenarios Victory Point spread between Major Victory and Major Defeat.

Greetings sir,
I am in North Carolina at the moment as well. About as close to those places as you are (Chapel Hill). I consider myself a Tennessean though and am returning to the Volunteer State this year.
Welcome to the Club! |

| Therefore, to avoid a severe unbalancing of games under the current version people MUST deselect 'Optional Rule Victory Points for Leader Casualties'. I believe you hit the nail on the head, sir. Simple solution until the problem is addressed. Excellent recap of the issue by the way in your descrip... |

The Game System seems to be awarding about x10 the number of points for leader casualties as it should. You will see an example in the screenshot be... |

I'd love a A/I that could pose a real threat.
But getting beat by the A/I in our games?

Sad news about George Denney. I only interacted with him through the Tournaments but he was always one of the first to volunteer. He will be missed in the Club.
