American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

Hello all,

I am Benjamin Lee, and a brand new member of the ACWGC from the great state of North Carolina! I've been into Tiller games for a few years, but started with NW before more recently adding the ACW to my repertoire.

Although I picked up ACW Tiller relatively late, it is right in my wheelhouse. I grew up traveling to battlefields on the East Coast (Antietam is certainly my favorite, although Bentonville holds a special place as my home state's battlefield), and I have dedicated myself to the Civil War academically. I had the privilege to work with Joe Glatthaar on an undergraduate honors thesis during my time as a student at UNC (for those who haven't read it, I highly recommend his book General Lee's Army: From Victory to Collapse) and will be pursuing a PhD studying Civil War Military History over at Texas A&M this fall. I've always held onto a love for wargaming, and Tiller serves as the perfect thing to carry with me as a pleasurable pastime while I push on in my studies.

A warm thank-you to Nick Kunz, who is introducing and acclimating me to the club, and to Kent Scarbrough, who is serving as my trainer.

I look forward to meeting y'all and clashing on the virtual battlefield!
