Sounds like you guys need to get Frank Hunter's ACW game. He has done all what you are talking about, then you'd be free to referee the game, and make the tactical battles.

I understand the economics behind it all, and appreciate the efforts put forth in these ga... |

Mr. Slepetz,
You're saying what we're saying just getting tripped up on the word 'historically.'

| Mr. Slepetz, I think you miss the point. To play historically, does not mean you have to do EXACTLY what they did, it does mean you do it in a manner they would've done had they chose to do that. Trying to outflank the Union army with a corps would be something they may have tried to do. Sending a s... |

| Mike, With the engine we have YOU, the player, can control the stacking limits to the levels you mentioned. Players don't have to stack to the max, and move all units every turn to their max move points, or melee with max fatigue units of 20 men. They can exercise self-control over how they use thei... |

| IF you could change formation any time during the movement phase of the multi-phase style, then it would be okay, but that artificial restriction is as annoying to me, as not being able to move after fire is to Rich W. Otherwise, find an opponent who will leave the tanks at home, and play single pha... |
