| I definatly agree that the artillery should be revamped. To use Fredericksburg as an example: one of the reasons that Pelham's gun attack was so successful was that initially, the Union guns couldn't hit him. The guns on the other side of the Rappahanock couldn't depress their barrels enough to hit ... |

Are there any sort of tables or graphs that tally the number of active members over time? I realize "active members" can be difficult to define, but how do the numbers today compare to the past?

| <i>Gods and Generals</i> suffered from attempting to do too much, I think. Both the book and the movie left out good deal, and important parts were cut from the movie in particular. I think that a miniseries would be a better way to tell <i>Gods and Generals</i> and <i>The Last Full Measure</i> simp... |

| <i>The Last Full Measure</i> would also have had a good deal more for Chamberlain to do than <i>Gods and Generals</i> did. To be honest, I didn't like <i>Gods and Generals</i> much at all, although I enjoyed the book. <i>Gettysburg</i>, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movies. I think that f... |

| Capt. Fitch- I believe it is because you didn't run the last non-32 bit patch. You need to make sure that you have Version 1.12 downloaded before you attempt to run the 32-Bit patch. If you already downloaded the 1.12 patch, make sure you run the program to install the patch by clicking on the icon ... |

I would like to play one of the Battlegrounds against a willing Reb. I'm open to any game/any scenario/any length except 2nd Bull Run, as I have a game going in that one already.

Me and my brigade are green as grass, but I think we have enough fight for you. Any scenario, any rules are fine by me.
