As I sit here in North Carolina, all I hear is the continual drone of Cicadas outside. Apparently this is the largest Cicada emergence since the 19th Century and the largest until 2241 or something like that. I've also been finding an excessive number of ticks outside this spring. Couple those with ... |

Health Care Plan A includes eye exams and hearing aids. While Cameron was Commander he successfully implemented the alternative Health Care Plan A.A. which includes coverage for liver transplants as a result of moonshine-related incidences. |

Valid points. I think when the Objective Points for hexes are set so low that they become "worthless" by default, they may as well not even be on the map. Objective Hexes should either matter enough to where they create an element of strategy and complexity for the scenario - or they shoul... |

That doesn't seem right. WDS said you should do a "clean install" for this version. In their Blog post, they said [my emphasis]: "** A completely Clean Install is required to obtain this update . You can grab a new copy of the installers from your Store Account. Yes, even for the Dem... |

I did hear from WDS that you do NOT need to finish your games before updating to 4.05. As long as you and your opponent update, it will work normally. I have not tested this myself but have no reason to doubt it is true. WDS said they will notate when/if there is an issue in this regard. Should you... |

I really had to do some work to get the images and everything back to the "Traditional" look. I'm not loving the new color schemes. The Rebs look like Yanks. Butternut please. But, hey, to each his own. Maybe someday a palette will pop up and you can just click on your preferred color sche... |

Awesome job, Nick! The next six highest totals of games played are all Federal members! Then there I am in 8th place with 288, not even half way to Nick's total. The average Club Member has played 69 games just in case anyone is curious. This includes games of all types registered in the DOR. Tom Ph... |

God bless the tour apps. While I do still walk around with the ridiculously good Trailhead Graphics Maps (now out of print), these apps make life much easier. Trailhead Graphics Maps made visiting a battlefield super easy and fun. With a complete listing of every monument and tablet on the battlefi... |

Yes, thanks for the info. I wish that they had included it in the PDT but I suppose that there are reasons why it isn't. I probably should also add that when we say that a unit disappears because it is on an opponent's entry hex when reinforcements are brought on board, they truly just disappear. T... |

When last I checked, a unit on an arriving hex when the enemy shows up on it does disappear. To find the protective halo around an entry hex - go into the the Scenario Editor and load the scenario. Then go to the Units drop-down menu and select Scheduled. Then find the time and arrival force you are... |
