Sir's!

Salute!

I really like the game guides webpage. I think it was written for all players in the club. But I am curious, was the writer Confederate or Union? It also has seperate Confederate guides on some scenarios. So I am wondering when it says "Rating of Excellent", it that excellent for Rebs or excellent scenario for all players? Lol

Hey Loren,

Blake wrote them a number of years back. Originally meant for the CSA side of the club, they have been shared for all to enjoy & use. The ratings were suppose to be from the CSA viewpoint, but not sure if Blake updated those when the guides were released club wide. Either way fantastic resources!

Thants Scott, I was just wondering, it is the first time I saw them. Great Resource, Blake!

The guides are rated as neutrally as possible. Scenarios that are one-sided are not fun for anyone to play. The ratings are just my opinion and, as I write on the main page, no two people would arrive at the same conclusions I did. But I wanted to at least give everyone an opinion on scenarios to start with if they are overwhelmed or unsure which of the thousands of scenarios they should play.

General B. Strickler, <Salute>

Believe me, I am using them and appreciate all the work you put into then. I do know how much effort you have put into them. I have done alot of paperwork and research on documents myself. Barkeep! A bottle of your best "Oh Be Joyful", from the top shelf for the General.

Respectfully Sir!
