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 ... |

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?"
