Beautiful pics, hope to visit there myself someday...

There certainly seems to be alot of room for interpretation regarding the events of the time and their significance. I believe the heights on the southern end of the field did serve to be an important advantage to the union and one that certainly would have influenced the outcome of the battle if lo...

Just reread the post and realized I misread a few points that I responded to, I apologize for trying to correct the things which I misread. I agree that the 20th Maine likely saw less action on July 3rd than the movie would suggest. But is the bayonet charge on July 2nd really in question?

I'm no historian, but I must disagree on a few things. The 20th Maine (under Chamberlain), along with the rest of the 3rd brigade (under Col. Strong Vincent) of the 1st division of the 5th Corps, was indeed posted at little round top on July 2nd, when John B. Hood attempted to turn the union left fl...

I guess then a simpler answer could be...under the best conditions you can manage to place your force, at the risk of being Mr. Obvious. There is the old 3-1 ratio for attacker vs defender, and the 5-1 ratio for attacker vs fortified defender, but I dont think this is always necessary or practical. ...

I always send my excess Californian units, and California militia to defend Tucson. Sometimes it can take awhile to get them there. I divide them into single units to make the trip as short as possible, and when I can I try to form a depot there to pull all that beautiful california supply and to al...

Well, Ill play the devil's advocate, I actually believe McClellan gets abit of an unfair representation in the game. True he was no Napoleon, but the things that he brought to not only the Army of the Potomac (aside from defeat) but to american military practices were crucial at that point in the wa...

I enjoyed looking at these pics from Lexington and Shenandoah Valley very much. I have made one trip to a ACW battle site in Tucson (which I wrote about and posted a pic of in another, less appropriate area of this forum), and enjoyed the feeling of standing in the places where these events had occu...

I believe when deciding to attack or not there are other things to consider as well as superiority in force. There is the weather and terrain conditions, any possible supporting forces, any command penalties they have, their supply status, and what you believe the condition of your force will be aft...

I voted for 5 days to tear up and 10 days to repair a line. I believe it would be easier and quicker to tear up the lines as there is no special care involved. Im no expert but a rail line that will not derail passing locomotives may have to be built with some detail and attention, not to mention th...

I am still a big fan of Rome Total War, I have played it more hours than any other game I can recall. I would like to see a game in the AACW style set during that time period, gallic and roman civil wars. Another good era would be a few hundred years earlier during the greek city state wars...good s...

First PBEM games have been fun and educational

I think I have enough room in my life for another 1 turn a day opponent. If anyone is interested feel free to PM.

I believe a Roman civil war period game would be very entertaining. There could be an interesting gathering of generals including Marc Antony, Marcus Agrippa, Vercingetorix, Pompey and of course Ceaser. It could also make for some interesting political options too. The same manipulations of forces c...

I have only played against Athena but am looking for 1-2 turn a day, grand campaign against a fellow rookie or patient veteran opponent. I would prefer to play as Union for first match.

I have 1.13b but plan to install the latest when it becomes official.

Just wanted to add my perspective to this. I believe our Civil War was an unavoidable conflict in the history of our nation. The 13 colonies that began our nation united for protection while attempting to preserve the freedom of their individual pursuits, as well as to guard their freedoms from the ...

I have lived in Tucson, Arizona before and very recently went back to visit family still living there. Having noticed the city on the edge of the game map I was curious what the involvement of the city really was during the Civil War. As it turns out the US Army removed most troops garrisoned in the...
