American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

My fellow Confederate Officers my time as your Chief of the Armies is due finish at the end of October. It is not my intention to stand for a second term as I have a number of other club commitments I would like to give some more TLC and my liver is struggling to cope with the Richmond social scene, however I would not leave my beloved Confederacy in the lurch, so should there be no officers forthcoming I am prepared to stay in the job for another year.

For your information please see the extracts from the ACWGC Rules with regard to COA elections.

3.3.4.1.2 In the election of a CoA, only members at the rank of Lieutenant General or General, at the time the voting period begins, may vote for the CoA representing their respective military group. The Election Committee will use the Department of Records to verify ranks to determine office eligibility, and such other criteria as may be necessary to determine voting eligibility. Nominations for the CoA may be made by any regular officer subject to the restrictions in Rule 3.3.4.2.2, below

3.3.4.2 Eligibility

3.3.4.2.1 Candidates for Cabinet Secretary or Club President must hold the rank of Colonel or above. To be eligible for a CoA position, a member must hold the rank of Lieutenant General or above in their respective Army.

3.3.4.2.2 Candidates must be nominated by two other members before being placed on the ballot. Other than the President, nominating officers must be from the same military group as the candidate being nominated.

Lol me thinks we need some new General's here boys! A lot of those fellahs are real old timers and have served their fair turn at the gauntlet....

Case in point, Den McBride has served a few times as CoA so has Nick Kunz and DW Mallory and I think even John Newton the night of our 2008 Christmas Party!

Point is....hm....I think I need more sipping brandy to figure out my point!
