Hello, everyone.

I am Filipe Costa Albano; a new member to the ACWGC community, from a little archipelago in the middle of the North Atlantic: The Azores. :)

Thanks to a fellow new member on here, whom I've met a few years ago and have become great friends with, I have been getting more and more acquainted (and as a result, more and more interested) in the American Civil War.

I recently finished my BA in History and will be pursuing a MA in Atlantic and Insular History (with a dissertation aimed at insular Religious History). God willing, a PhD will follow. For as much as my degree has not focused on it, I'll admit that Military History remains one of my guilty pleasures, and as a result I quite enjoy wargaming, in its many shapes and forms. (Though, admittedly, my favorite period still remains the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars!)

I thank Mr. Nick Kunz for the warm welcome to the club, and Mr. Tim Reneau for currently training me!

A warm hello to everyone and hoping for many fun battles. :)

Cadet Filipe Albano! <salute>

Welcome to the ACWGC, a great place to meet like-minded folks who have an interest in the American Civil War!

A great job of posting at the Mason Dixon Tavern, may you have a long and enjoyable stay!

Lots of gaming awaiting your arrival once you have graduated from ATA and completed your match against a newer Yank in the Lt's Cup!

Enjoy the journey of learning how to play these wonderful games from your instructor, General Teim Reneau!

I have been greeting and involved in training new members for over 20 years and believe you are the 1st from the Azores!

Your Obedient Servant,


General Nick Kunz
Commanding,
Armstrong's Cavalry Brigade,
