American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

Gentlemen welcome to a smallish function (no more than 500 please) to celebrate changes in command. Lieutenant General Michael Mihalik is stepping down after 5 years service as the Corps Commander of the Forrest Cavalry Corps and Lieutenant General Thomas Phillips is taking the reins effective 5 August 1863. Both officers are long served Western men who have always stepped up to serve and it is much appreciated by both myself and those in Richmond.

Also Colonel Meadows has been appointed to command the 1st Division of Stewart's Corps - a big step up for one so young, but I am confident that he will lead his division against those blue persons with aplomb and flare.

It is now time for the bar to open, I would request that the ladies absent themselves by 1815 hours so as not to offend their delicate dispositions. From 1815 hours on there will be $250 in gold on the bar, so drink like you mean it or go home. If anyone is still upright by 2230 hours the Boozy Mountain Boys and I will cut a few power bluegrass tunes. We have stolen all the furniture from the ANV Dump of Trees Tavern, so you are all more than welcome to smash and burn it. Please leave the bean bags as they belong to the AoC.

Officers of the ACWGC!!!!

As manager of Cam and the Boozy Mountian Boys, I have been asked to provide further details on tonight's shin dig.

From 18:00 to 18:15 (synchronize pocket watches), let Cam and his boys take you back to happier times. Hold that significant other closely as Cam gives you his all time favorites, "When This Cruel War Is Over", "The Vacant Chair", and of course, "Kennesaw Line".

At 18:15, all female attendants are asked to leave. All officers will be required to check their side arms with the Sergeant At Arms.

However...

After much discussion with the management of the Vicksburg Arms, for any female wishing to remain in attendance, waivers will be issued and signed.
This way we avoid all insurance mumbo jumbo and any court proceedings.

Cam will then proceed to claw hammer the night away with his hits from his " See Ya In Hell, Billy Yank " tour. You'll enjoy such hits as,
"Your Heart Is As Hard As Hardtack", "She's Not A Camp Follower. She's My Wife", "Nekkid In Richmond Again", and "Green Apple Blues".

Come party like its 1861!!!!!

Also, Cam and The Boozy Mountain Boys merchandise will be on sale at the door. "See Ya In Hell, Billy Yank" sword sashes and watch farbs will be available for the gents and full - boned corsets available for the ladies. Also, have your ladies bodice signed by the General himself!

I would like to thank our Manager for putting together such a fine program. if they boys and I are still sober enough at the end then I will be signing the merch and ladies ankles. Remember 30 cents in each dollar goes to the Bands favorite charity - The Vicksburg Home for Fallen Ladies, and another 20 cents goes to buy more furniture for the Dump of Trees Tavern - stuff that is very flammable.

'Lawd, what a night! I have to apologize for conduct unbecoming a manager but, to anyone who has been to any of Cam's shows knows, that's pretty common place.

As myself and a few Field Lieutenants watched from the corner, it was touching to see the Generals and their
wives wives waltz the evening away...for 15 minutes.
I think I actually saw a tear in General Miller's eye as Cam sang, "When This Cruel War Is Over". I'm not sure how many bottles were consumed by myself and the field Lieutenants during that 15 minutes but...suffice to say, by the time Cam came on for his "See Ya In Hell, Billy Yank" portion of the evening, I remember yelling for someone to slow the bar down because it was spinning too fast!

Gentlemen, y'all know how to par-tay!!!!
After 5 mint juleps, General Kunz took off in a whirling dervish that took out one corner of the bar! Damn, can that guy dance!!!!! The ladies thought so too!

General Ludwig, after who knows how much applejack, was baptizing anyone who wanted "salvation in Southern form" in the horse trough. God bless you, General, as some of the ladies actually got down to their petticoats for the baptism!

Who ever it was that yelled, "Let the damned Yankee sing 'The Fall Of Charleston'!!!!" I will have to thank for concluding my evening for me. Last thing I remember is jumping up on one of the remaining tables, and singing for all I was worth. I got to the verse, "...a hunky boy is General Meyers...", and... WACK!!!!

Now, I've come to know the weight and heft of a Old Crow bottle against the back of my head by now. Anyways, I woke up the livery stable with a sheet of foolscap hung around my neck that read, " Ask me about the Fall Of Charleston". Dont fear, gents. The lovely Ms. Rachael and myself will return the blankets we borrowed for our journey back to Union lines. I guess we thought we were in Richmond and took Cam's "Nekkid In Richmond Again" song seriously!
