| I have also been watching the Brother Against Brother forums. The game introduced about a year ago is an excellent PBEM Civil War game addressing many areas that JT/HPS games don't. It's forums look like a graveyard. The first to leave were the Devs. They have zero presence in their own forum. Like... |

| Berto, I looked into the * Red River Campaign (including other misc battles west of the Mississippi) history and there doesn't look to be enough there to make a title campaign release. I think you are mistaken. No big battles, sure, but lots of smaller engagements, such as: https://en.wikipedia.org... |

| @ Rich, you've really stuck my curiosity as to what final 3 titles would be released. I'm assuming they are: -Petersburg Campaign (Appomattox Court House surrender) -Jackson's/Shenandoah Valley Campaign -Final Release of all campaigns combined into a single package (Grand Finale!) No? How about: * ... |

What about
- Command & Control?
- Random factors (apart from combat results)?

| You're okay with using a now unsupported operating system way past its expiration date? I too still have a Windows XP system for testing purposes, but I don't dare attach it to the Internet. Way too risky. I understand your apprehensiveness about Windows 10. But Windows 7 is a worthy successor to Wi... |

The Petersburg Campaign would essentially leave us with only the Valley Campaign as an outstanding piece of the series!
After Petersburg and Valley Campaigns (both '62 & '64), I'd still like to see the Red River Campaign also, including other lesser known miscellaneous battles out west. |

I am more interested in historical setups, even if unbalanced, than I am in balanced what-ifs? (The latter, though, are nice to have too.) |

| Valley Campaigns might be the ideal JTS ACW title. Huge campaign map. Lots of small to mid-size engagements. Legendary commanders and popular subject matter. An instant classic! |

| Is there any hope we will ever see Valley Campaigns ? (Has new development in the JTS ACW game series ceased?) Encompassing Jackson's Valley Campaign '62, and Valley Campaigns '64. Much more so than Campaign Petersburg (or Campaign Red River), I'm praying JTS releases Valley Campaigns before I die, ... |

And demonstrated to my own satisfaction, at least, how poorly the JT ACW system simulates anything like the historical battles. Which led me to creat... |

| I should maybe clarify: I still esteem the HPS ACW games. And enjoy them, after a fashion. I just don't find them very compelling. Probably I'll return to playing them when I retire in a (very) few years. But now, free time is woefully short, and the HPS games just don't cut the muster. |

You have just stated several reasons (among many others) why I don't much play the HPS ACW games any more.
I will leave unstated the many more issues I have with BaB. Oh well, it's good to have gaming alternatives (even if not ACW  ). |
