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.

| I don't know. I've been playing Ultimate General and Take Command: Second Manassas this week. The A/I in those games is... interesting? They don't seem to think very much and with ultimate general it feels like they just mass men and fire in all directions. Is it challenging? Yes. But not because yo... |

Just donated. Thanks for the update, Scott!
Hopefully this deal doesn't go through. But with so many threats these days to the battlefields anything is possible. Every time you turn around it is something. |

| These Topps 1961 - 1962 Collectible Civil War cards are pretty epic in every way. Very colorful, brutally violent, and pretty fanciful and inappropriate. Not to mention about as historically accurate as a Hollywood movie. And, yet, I'd love to collect the whole set. :mrgreen: Someone here has to ha... |

| Here is another controversial opinion. Madden NFL 2024 has 53 different ratings for each player. Is this where we are headed in our games? I wouldn't think so. As Paul and Ash said, we control the generals. So rating them on their specific ability to launch "attacks during dusk turns over open... |

| Here's my take. It is appropriate to give Lee B command rating. That has nothing to do with the decisions he made during the battle It has everything to do with his relationship with his corps commanders. You will note that both Ewell and Hill have command ratings of D. That means the best command ... |

| I think we have established morale and rallying are the only things affected by leader ratings. All concede the point. But I think the ratings are far more complex than simply, "could Lee rally his men and keep them organized?" If so, then yes, he is an "A" general. But so is Mc... |
