Then we're at it again. Fire up a campaign decision and send it my way.

| I just got the game installed, so it's hard for me to say much. That said, I was a bit surprised to see Black Jack Logan rated C C at Atlanta. Considering the way his role in that battle went, I'd have figured he would have been B or even A for Leadership Major General Gary McClellan 1st Division, X... |

Simple enough

Can any Reb keep me from turning the entire town into a Peach-wood Bar-B-Q?

| As a general rule (if there are no exit hexes for your side, which is an entirely different situation) If you are in a Campaign scenario, feel free to exit to your heart's content. There are a few side issues (setting victory level and units using the map edge to escape immediate destruction), but o... |

| I agree that everyone here (or nearly so) wants a level of historical accuracy. That said though, that said, I still think that the basic point stands. On the one extreme, are those who want games with a veneer of historical accuracy (or maybe "flavor", and on the other extreme are those who feel th... |

| The debates here the last few days over reconstitution of forces and the "audience" for HPS games has gotten me thinking. *watches 93.71% of the club flee for the hills* Anyway, one of the little "problems" that we have, is that right now, there are almost no options for Computerized ACW games.

| One thing to remember is that there's not just one, but three teams (or there have been three teams to this point) releasing games. Some of them work faster, some of them work slower. My understanding is that Gettysburg was one of the first games "started" but didn't come along until later because t... |

| For the cannon, I'd assume the "replaced" cannon are the one that were knocked off their carriage or the like that can be repaired, rather than those that were lost. The engine isn't fully up to speed on distinguishing between cannon that are captured and those that are damaged, but overall, the eng... |

| I'm certainly not one who can tell another what to enjoy, or not to enjoy, but I must say that I do find it odd that you worry about the HPS games being "too big" and "too complicated". I say that because you have options in the HPS games that you never had with the TS games, in particular Corinth a... |

| This is entirely intended by the engine. What it's simulating is simply that while the essential "integrity" of a unit may be removed for a given battle, between battles a cadre is able to reform (stragglers come back, the lightly wounded come back and so forth) The engine can't really simulate comb... |

I looked at Duchet's website, (they're known for posting a hair early), and sure enough, it was up there. So was Budapest '45 for the PzC types.

I remember hearing about it, but never played it. I *think* it's a realtime game, though not as successful as the 2 Bull Run games.
Not the same as our beloved Battleground games in any case.
