| The first should be great. It covers how Ned Simms and Mark Nelms did in their first battle of Gettysburg.[:D] The one in 1863! Their first Battleground game on that title was a rematch.[:p] MajGen Al 'Ambushed' Amos 3rd "Amos' Ambushers" Bde, Cavalry Division, XX Corps, AoC The Union Forever! Huzzah! |

| In designing EAW games I assign 1 wagon per regiment of 50 points each, and I give every artillery piece 2 round per turn (one offensive and one defensive fire.) This is my base calculations which I adjust from there to reflect supply shortages/abundances. For ACW infantry ammo, I would have 2 wagon... |

| Those pesky Rebs have laid siege to Tulsa, cutting all outside communications to the outside world. I'm smuggling this message out to you through a secret network. Hope to have the siege broken within a week with the appearence of the promised relief column. -----------------------------------------... |

| Rich, Well for a bridge to burn doesn't take long, but preparing it to do so does. ONE unit could destroy 1 point. Put more than one unit in each entry/exit hex and the damage goes up. 16 units could put 48 points of damage on a bridge in one hour. This would reduce the stoutest bridge of 99 points ... |

| Here are my thoughts on the subject. BRIDGES: (Wood, Stone or Pontoon) Effects: Allows units without boats to cross water hexes. Bridges would have three STATES which would determine what type of troops could cross. RICKETY - Only Infantry, or Leaders on foot; WEAK - Only Infantry, Leaders on foot, ... |

| One area the 'campaign' feature could really be useful is in modeling multi-day battles. The designer could carry fatigue over for the players. Naturally, some assumptions as to where battle lines would be on the second and subsequent days would need to be made and explained during the design phase.... |
