Kennon, are you sure because I thought that the probability is the same regardless of the size of the unit, e.g. a 1 man unit has just as good a chance of building breastworks as does a 1,000 man unit. I guess the little fella just has to work a lot harder. Didn't we discuss this a couple of weeks ... |

We've been at the old location since the founding of the club (before I even enlisted!), Historically speaking, no ... We moved to the previous location after a spam attack on the old boards in the summer of 2001. I joined a few months before that move, so I have a faint recollection of the old boa... |

So will the "original" post (in this case by Mallory) no longer stay at the top of the page? We then have to go in search for it. Anyway around that? I tried viewing the postings in the opposite order but then you end up reading posts no longer relevant. Yes, I really liked that feature a... |

Well. Good to have a home again, even if it's looking a bit "modern" for my taste. But I can't say I regret being rid of that ghastly brown. Especially because BLUE always looked so out of place on it. |

Most likely a design goof. Something like the map terrain changed after the scenario was already done. On a more general level, in reality forest isn't really forest. For instance, in reality a battery stationed at Shiloh Church fired with effect into Rhea Field, as the woods were very open. <center... |

Although I prefer personal muster procedures (email, forums) over the anonymous version, this is a good thing to have as a backup. Thanks for your work, Don. I do think the notification shouldn't be sent up the chain of command higher than the next level of command, or at most the next but one (in c... |

I don't disagree that cavalry should be more valuable than infantry and should be used primarily against cavalry. It's worth 2 times infantry in all games except Gettysburg, and that's really enough of a penalty. 4 times as much simply means 1) cavalry becomes entirely useless against infantry, or e... |

I don't agree either, but you can easily alter these values by editing the scenario. I think I will when I play Gettysburg next. <center>Gen.

Strictly 2D, no sounds. No other way to keep track of what's going on. 5 minutes a year I may go 3D just to look at the terrain for a moment, but frankly, the HPS graphics are not that immersive compared to BG. <center>Gen.
