I really enjoy some of the modern paintings of the Civil War. My favorite artist is John Paul Strain - I have a copy of his work, "The Horse Marines" (http://www.johnpaulstrain.com/art/the-horse-marines.htm") hanging in my guest bedroom. Of the four painting excerpts at the top of the... |

"Is open discussion complete and the rule change firm, or is discussion ongoing and the rules subject to change? I ask because the "Ballot" at the top of the page indicates that the changes are ready for a final vote." The proposal was approved by the Cabinet for a vote by the cl... |

General Candidate Question: Considering the current status of the Club, would your preference be that it heads in which of the following directions and why? 1) Leave the game design alone as it's a "Classic" and should never change 2) Do minor updates to the game and do only little tweaks... |

"The cabinet has unanimously accepted these rule changes." Does that mean that the Cabinet has simply OK'd this proposal for a vote, or that the Cabinet members have unanimously voted "yes" for it? The Cabinet has ok'd the proposal for an open discussion & vote by the Club. ... |

I have a question regarding the final sentence of proposed rule 2.6.3, "Officers who resign while under the threat of expulsion under Rule 2.6.4 will be considered expelled rather than resigned for purposes of reinstatement." Will an officer always know whether or not he is "under thr... |

Why or why not, in your opinion, Gen. Mallory, would it be conducive for the ACWGC to enlarge the club by 200 members in one year's time? It's imperative for the health of any organization to grow its membership. Not that growth for it's own sake should be the end goal, but if new members aren't co... |

There is currently no 2.6.3 and there never was. Thus President Sands' statement that "2.6.3 is additive to the existing rules."
Dang! Whoever wrote those rules must have been asleep at the wheel! lol |

I concur with earlier comments. This is another good way to engage people who might be interested in the era we portray, possibly ending in new recruits. |

Good questions from Colonel Swanson and General Hecht.
Question for the Cabinet: Is discussion allowed on this proposition, or are we simply to vote 'Yes' or 'No'? |

"Rather than trust or risk the interpretation of this rule to each new Club President, ought not the processes you've just described be more nearly formalized within the rule for all future proposals?" Believe it or not (and I know how hard it might be to believe it, given how large the bo... |

"As a candidate for the Club Presidency do you view the Cabinet as a secluded, final authority unto itself, free from oversight, or as a clearinghouse for the shaping and molding of proposals to permit club-wide discussion and then a club-wide vote." An excellent question. I see the Cabine... |

Gen. Mallory, what are you thoughts concerning the subject of alternate identities; that is, one member registering in the club, secretly or not, with two or more different names and e-mail addresses? I just checked the Club Rules and was surprised that I couldn't find anything specifically regardin... |

Captain Strickler, Thank you for the thought-provoking questions. 1) What role should the President and/or the Cabinet play in the promotion of the Club and in its recruitment efforts? Is this better left to the individual members to do as they see fit or should we have a Club-sponsored approach to ... |
