Played an excellent Yank opponent Lt. James Foster at Perryville in a pretty equal match up. I believe he is Harry Houdini as every time I knew I had him flanked his troops would pop up and give me heck. Game is over and he won. My disgrace is profound so I've already challenged him to another game.

General Kunz and I are fighting in Atlanta at Rocky Face and will put a challenge out to our Yankee friends after I shellac Lt. Foster!!! :P

I played Lt Chris Perlberg in the exact same scenario and conceded at Turn 11 / 35. I know I made a few mistakes (letting my right wing get engaged without a nearby source of supply, attacking his center on higher ground in a somewhat piecemeal fashion) but still it was not even a contest. I would routinely lose 3 or 4 to 1 in firefights, my artillery could not do squat (11-12 casualties max) while he was taking 20-40 men with every shot.

And my luck continues in other games as well. I began my first Battlefront Combat Mission game in two years, in the first exchange a hull-down Nashorn on a hill gets spotted by a Canadian Sherman at 470m, it pops smoke, my first shot misses, it fires through its own forming smoke screen and gun-disables me. :(
