| As anyone who has played these games with more then just a cursery interest knows, nothing happens in a vacuum. In part, one of the orgins of the rule came about because of the occassional practice of rear raiding parties (mostly cav) scarfing up SW's and whatnot and then, when on the verge of captu... |

| To reply to BGen. McBrides question, I was a secretary for oh, maybe 5 years. Most of the time it was just routine stuff, mostly approving new generals. Every so often a matter comes up which requires a little more time but I didn't find it overbearing. I'd heartily recommend throwing your hat into ... |

| I think it's obvious that the ZOC thingy stopping all movement is crappy. The very best system was the "World at War" series where ZOC stopping a unit could not be predicted with 100% certainty. The game engine factored in many variables including: -size of both units -morale and experience of both ... |

| Back when West Point first got set up, as one of the first instructors, I had a cadet who was 11. Interesting experience. While everyone was at the Tavern having a grand ol' time, I was across the street at the drug store soda fountain buying the kid ice cream. And don't even mention all those Satur... |

| I think some of the losses abstracty represent horse casualties and thus an inability to move the guns. There are examples of this in almost every major battle. Of course an inability to move and an inability to fire are two different things but unfortunatly our system can't differentiate, hence the... |

| Again, I agree with Ernie. The two cabinet structure WOULD be unwieldy. I noted in my first post yesterday that all this is adding another person, the last thing an already 7 person cabinet needs. Also, the new detail of "One of these persons [meaning one of the two presidents] would become the club... |
