Gentlemen, Just turned 47 last month. My Dad was career USAF so I grew up in a military household, but the closest I ever got to actual military experience was 'Capture the Flag' in my Boy Scout troop [:)]. (I did make it to Eagle Scout, though!) I don't really know why I was spared a military tour ...

General Schlueter, My heartiest congratulations, sir! (And my son think *I'm* old at 47!) I hope you enjoyed your big day. Since no one has spoken up to claim a birth date earlier than yours, I'm now curious to find out who the YOUNGEST current club member is. I don't expect I have a shot at that ti...

General Kaulbars, I will join in all your toasts. The men are fine, deserving officers. And much of the experience & expertise we Rebs have gained in the art of war came from our days with the U.S. army, fighting Mexicans and Indians - so I'll drink to the U.S. Army War College as well. And I'll eve...

Gentlemen, I hate it when I can't figure out what the line of a song is (and my wife REALLY hates it, since I just make something up and sing along anyway [;)] !). In HPS Peninsula, in the song "He's Gone to the Arms of Abraham", a line begins "If I were him I'd offer . . . " How does the next line ...

Gentlemen, I have just made the announcement at VMI of the retirement of General Dustin Arnold as Commandant of that fine institution. He has done an excellent job during his time at VMI. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him serving on my staff during these first months of my tenure as C...

General Whitehead, From what I've heard, the worst problem with the Turn-Based/Single Phase option is the ability for the attacker to open a hole in the defender's line then exploit it during the same turn with other units moving up, and that this process can be repeated ad infinitum. I can see wher...

Lt. Walker, 1) Marching fatigue. 2) Arty capture/recapture <s>3) Arty ammo pool (Not sure what is meant by this, exactly. If it means 1 round expended per tube rather than 1 round per battery, I'm for it.)</s> 3) (If it's not too late, I'm changing my vote [:)]!) New 'bivouac' formation: No firing, ...

Col. Denner, Thank you for this report. I lived in Biloxi when I was younger and have been wondering how Beauvoir fared. The closest photos I've seen in the news were of the Convention Center, built right next to Beauvoir (I think -- the Convention Center was built just after I left). Your humble se...

Gentlemen, "I can't seem to find parameter data for the Whitworth, either in the Gettysburg game I am playing or in the Peninsula, which I stopped playing. Does anyone know if it is listed anywhere?" I, too, was looking for the parameter data for the Whitworth quite a while back. I even thought it m...
