-Where is Hood and his command?
otherwise looks great so far!

Also, in normal English "bowling green" has no final 'e'.
It is possible to find a few examples of "Bowling Greene" on the Web, but I think they're probably mistakes.

Plus some period maps may have spelled it that way. Barbourville, Kentucky is spelled on every Civil War era map I have seen as "Barboursville" when in fact there has never been an "s" in the name. Barboursville (with the "s") is in West Virginia.
There are some towns in the area that don't have the same names today..... and on the map they are correct for the period. The guys at AGEOD did their research well.
If that's all that is wrong with the game then I can live with the mistake.

(By all means keep calling out historical inaccuracies in this thread...makes our job easier as well as the AGEOD folks)

Just a few more nitpicks at the "last second" Gettysburg scenario: For one, Sickles should be in command of Union III Corps, not McDowell.
And in fact, the set up in early June has all forces hovering in or near Gettysburg. I think this is not right; at this time forces should be in roughly their post-Chancellorsville positions still down in VA. And with Hooker still in command of a less-than-cohesive, recently defeated AoP.
This would make a better Gettysburg scenario in any case; the current one looks like just a big dogpile into the adjacent Gettysburg space, which is not terribly interesting. A manuever campaign starting in Virginia having Lee move north (with Baltimore and/or DC as objectives) would be far more interesting! Maybe redesign the whole thing along these lines? Just a suggestion!

Anyway, I too would like this game to be 100% accurate but we have to be very cerefull what we will change. Perhaps if you could state your resource or something like it. That would probably halp much.
Godspeed and keep posting
