You are indeed correct that I was referring to Culp's Hill....thank you. I agree that there are so many interesting "what ifs" had Gettysburg had resulted in a Confederate victory. It has been speculated that if Lee had been in a position to move towards Washington that panic and political pressure ...

Great points and I tend to agree. I think part of the equation here is motivation. The South was eager to show their determination and felt that they had been wronged. The North on the other hand was not as invested in the problems existing at the time (at least it seems that way). I suppose it coul...

There are alot of interesting points raised here. The intervention question has always been intriguing to historians. There is always talk that intervention may have occurred if the Confederacy had either abolished slavery or did something to make that "peculiar institution" more palatable to the Eu...

Each turn is 2 weeks so 270miles would be 18 miles per day. Not too fantastic on horseback. But while it is possible in the game to get to upstate New York, then supply wise its difficult and quite rightly there is every chance that it is a one way mission which is as it should be. And I agree with...

Thanks to all for the historical correction regarding the duration of republics....I was off base on that comment.

The right to self determination is something not to be given up lightly. Right or wrong? If we give that up without a fight then perhaps we are no better than slaves? It is an interesting contradiction? I think this is an interesting contradiction but it is very relevant to our current times. When ...

I think that is a good distinction to make about self-determination. I think the other side of the coin is the political philosophy side. Certainly hard to argue that the Declaration of Independence doesn't stand for the proposition that all "men" have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of h...

I did not carefully read every post so I apologize in advance if this is repetititve. The argument as to whether the South had the "right" to secede has always been vexing to me. I hear what people are saying in pointing to the colonies break from England as historical precedent for secession. Howev...

RE: Fort Sumter

Just for fun and the sake of discussion.....does anyone have any thoughts on whether Lincoln should have used a more aggressive approach to handling the Fort Sumter situation? If so, what implications might there have been on both sides? I realize that the Union wasn't really ready to do much at thi...

Wanted to throw in a couple of books that have a different perspective. "Cold Mountain" is a good book with the war being more of a background to the story. That is by Charles Frazier. I am currently reading "Guns of the South" which is an alternative history book written by Harry Turtledove. I am a...

I agree with those of you who believe that Lee would not have left Virginia to command an army in the west. As was probably pointed out before he declined overall command of the Union forces because he couldn't stomach the thought of fighting against Virginia. As another thought that is not exactly ...

Just got this game to work (thanks to the Ageod team for their tireless efforts in that regard) and am looking forward to diving in. This was one of the best AAR's I 've ever seen as all the screenshots helped give the written portion context. From a newb....thanks for all your hard work!

One more comment to add to the discussion. If anyone has had a problem with the Ageod games I am sure that you quickly see that Pocus and his team members take extraordinary measures to try and correct them. That alone makes me loyal to them and willing to pay for their products because we all know ...

I haven't been able to get this game running yet and maybe I won't (I have my fingers crossed that something will work out) but wanted to say that the level of customer service and support has been fantastic. No secret that many developers and publishers don't handle things so well so I wanted to ma...
