From far away, the rolling thunder of mighty US guns are heard, opening the preliminaries in Gen Grant's offensive towards Shiloh.. Leading this mighty onslaught is the victorious 1/XIV/AOC, a very hard-to-beat outfit that has countless rebel scalps in their belts.[;)] Now, is there any brave rebel officer out there, who dares to try to stop the US steamroller in a campaign game aimed at Shiloh?[:p] (HPS Shiloh) ADF is a must, other optionals negotiable.

Glad to hear Gen. Grant is wasting his ammo in a "rolling thunder" before the battle. I would be happy to remove the energy from that steamroller--water doesn't scare us rebs--we are civilized. Might as well include all options and ADF, if you wish to face this reb. MG Michael Laabs 3/III A of M |

The drums at Gen Grants camp beginn to sound.... Units hasten to their parade grounds, making ready for departure to the South. From everywhere soldiers gather and line up, horse teams pull rows with mighty field guns into march columns. A most impressive sight, as many of the local observers and more far away newspapermen notice. What rebel force will be able to hold their ground against this superb force, many of them thinks. Well ,maybe Maj Gen Laabs and his hard outfit, a well-known unit and not to be under-estimated.. Gen Grant doesn't want any surprises, so he puts the 1/XIV in the lead and only moments later, the long blue clad columns begin moving to the South, singing loudly the "Battle Hymn of the Republic". People from all around gather and join in the chant... The rebels may tremble in their hide outs..[;)] Sir, a file is on its way! Gen Lars W 1/XIV Army of the Cumberland USA |
