Mike, I recall seeing similar articles on the old board games in the AH General, so called best set ups and first moves. There wasn't much talk about fire in the BG games because it was all phase mode and Morale Checks were made anytime you took a SP loss while they became random in the HSP/JTS gam... |

Colonel Bill Smith, late of the Union army, and a personal friend for many years, passed away yesterday from complications of Lewy Body disease.
He has been unwell for a long time and is currently on the inactive list. |

Don't know why this surprises you. It's what we do all the time. Both sides made mistakes at Waterloo. I think the reference to wargaming Waterloo is that Napoleon's were more serious.

Hi, Mark, At Vicksburg, the star attraction as far as I am concerned is the USS Cairo. As far as accommodations, there are several motels with reasonable rates close to the Vicksburg battlefield. The Shiloh area was still rural when I visited, but that was thirty years ago. Some smaller battle sites... |
