| Thanks Rich, <i>Why would you destroy guns you have captured?</i> So that you don't have to leave a unit behind to occupy them in order to get points and to keep them from reappearing in future scenarios in a campaign. It sounds like with your patch, if you capture guns and then destroy them, then y... |

| Rich, maybe I'm misunderstanding. Are you saying that a future patch will not award points for destruction of any artillery pieces after you have captured them? For example, the Rebs uncrew a battery of 4 Union guns (no points) and move a unit onto them (120 points if 30 points per gun) but then mov... |

Where does one go to find an explanation of the PDT file and thus how to make changes to it?

| I'm with you on the preference for less costly movement points for supply wagons but there are a couple of points that need to be made regarding some of the 'peripheral' issues that you brought up. First point is that the first HPS ACW game released used the same movement methodology for supply wago... |

| I always thought that Lee was sick at his two low tides (Malvern Hill and Gettysburg) and that Jackson had gone for days without sleep during the Seven Days. Neither was operating at their full mental and physical capacities during their worst performances. Lt Gen Ned Simms 1/1/VIII/AoS/USA Blood 'n... |

| As a true Southerner, I'm amply prejudiced in the fact that General Robert E. Lee was the best General that ever commanded along with being one of the best servants that ever lived. General Grant was one of the luckiest Generals that ever walked the face of the earth. He was absent at Fort Donelson ... |

| Does it make any difference which way a leader or supply wagon is facing? Does a rear shot increase the chances of losing a leader or more supplies than if it had been a frontal shot?

They are not on the DoR rolls but they might be past aliases that Ernie used. I wouldn't put it past a retired Marine actually commanding both sides.

| The vote count has not been posted in the past. How many club members have been voting on these resolutions - 10 or 100? With 122 Yanks included on the DoR rolls and 109 Rebs, 10 would be a shameful amount and the Cabinet would be better suited for making the decision after a discussion period. But ... |
