SIRS

I Have had a hard time my first 2 outings as i have tended to follow
historic lines of attack..

In my current battle Cedar Mountain i foolishly attacked the federal Cannons atop the hill to the ese of the Gate

In looking at the Parameters i had a draw to start but attacked first


In the future im not going to try to recreate the battle but fight the situation as i see it

Never follow the script if you can help it. Though, ironically, every once in a while the enemy won't expect you to follow the script, in which case follow the script :)

Mr. Coyne,

The script is the script, Rules are for the Obedience of fools and the Guidance of wise men !

The games do not play historically nor units react as such, like in chess, a familiar player will have the avenues covered. Think outside the box and having done so, do so again.

Tons of great advice in these previous emails. My only offering is to not forget about your own cavalry.
