American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

Greetings

I'm Andy Moss and I'm a new member to the ACWGC! Not that I'm new to Tiller games, I've been playing them since 1997 with the old Battleground games. I usually lurk out at the NWC and Blitz, but recently diversified to the ACW games.

Retired geologist/archaeologist. A bit like CSI on a longer timescale. When not playing games a lot of time is taken up with two labradors, one being a retired Guide Dog.

Not been to the USA but visited various UK battlefields, frequently built over. And a bit of excavation work there. And recently Thermopylae.

I have a tiny collection of German medals and badges which my father swopped as a kid with German POW's locally. He also had an unexploded incendiary bomb he swopped his bike for, but that was confiscated after a good hiding. I do have a box of shrapnel he collected though. And a nineteenth century sword found in a skip. And a 9000 year old hazel nut, chewed by a squirrel, from my excavations. For some time I also had Lindow Man's cranial washings out. House is full of such stuff, books and a lot of dog towels and harnesses.

Hope to meet various folks on the virtual battlefield in due course.

Welcome sir, welcome. Maybe a nice dig on the Little Round Top, looking for some Rebel bones, in your spare time.

Welcome to the club son, good to see the youngins stepping up to serve the great cause that is the Confederacy. If you are not keen on the fancy uniforms and endless parades in Richmond then come out west to the Army of Tennessee where we live by the three guiding principles - giving the Yankees a damn good thrashing, out of control drinking and chasing a fine ankle.

Obviously, you did not read the club rules. When you join the CSA, your age automatically becomes Your Current Age - 40 years = 27 years old. However, if you join the Union the calculation is Your Current Age +40 years. So, some of our Union members are very infirmed, being over 100 years old - poor sods.

Welcome Cadet Moss to the ACWGC!!

Here's hoping that you enjoy many years of gaming with us. I'm currently training your old nemesis for the Union side. You'd better bring your A game when you meet him on US soil as he seems to have a solid grasp of the game system. Good luck in the club!
