| Turn 12. At first I felt Garret was being cautious, but now he is pushing hard at Longstreet NOT Jackson. Unexpected. So, general battle all around. Hood launched his first charge this turn. I am falling behind in points cause I keep screwing up. If you play against Garret he is an expert in artille... |

| We are on turn 4 now. I routed a couple of his 1st corps, AoV troops after they took my guns on turn 1. After that he faded back into the woods. I am not sure what his arrival/release schedule is, so maybe he does not have much to work with yet. Lee and Longstreet showed up with 1.5 brigades of cava... |

| Lt Col Garret FitzGerald and I had just finished Brawner's Farm, and decided to do a short Antietam campaign starting at 2nd Bull Run, then Chantilly and on to Sharpsburg.

| I tend to disagree with revisionists, but if you use his logic the only thing that mattered in the war was Port Royal, Donelson and New Orleans.

| Experienced yet insanely rusty. I used to have a couple of friends that I played these games with regularly, but they have both lost interest in wargames and mostly only play Civilization and what-not. So, very rusty.
