| Thanks guys. I'll have to give that a look-see and see if any of the "trial period" sites let me get enough information (sometimes I think they limit what you can view with a free trial, but if it's not exorbitant to sign up for a little while, maybe I can swing it). Dale, that site you re... |

| If this is not the proper place for this post ,my apologies. I am currently trying to do some genealogical research, as I have at minimum one direct ancestor (my GG Grandfather) who wore the gray during the War (my GGG Grandfather may have as well, but there's a bit of confusion as to his true ident... |

He is currently in irons on his way south to Andersonville. Scenario is one of the Gettysburg meeting engagements, I am facing Gian Luca Giorg... |

| I just saw this when I went to their website. Truly a sad day. As frustrating as playing these games can be, they have been an enjoyment. John, you will be missed by all of us. Prayers go out to his family and friends at this time. |

| The page previously mentioned apparently needs an update. The battle was in Arizona, they have part of the location marked as the Picacho Peak located in New Mexico. No wonder you never hear much about it - a grand total of no more than 15 casualties... Reenactment is this weekend, I guess...said it... |

| I unfortunately don't get back East much, but -- I am in the shadows of one of the ACW battles that was fought out this way, at Picacho Peak, just outside Tucson, AZ. Never been, but I hear they have at least had reenactments in the past. Not sure how much of a tour there is, either - from what I un... |

| I know we're a PC game club, but I figured I would see if there are any out there who have / play any of the ACW board games? Which ones do you like best/least? I have River of Death by GMT Games and The Civil War by Victory Games. Looking for more games similar to River of Death, where the players ... |

| I suppose I should inform the group of my current ACW gaming inventory. I am (at least for now, unless/until I find more ACW games worthy of play) solely a JTS/HPS gamer. Had no backup for the AGEOD games, and I can't find my FoF CDs (not sure if that would run on Win10 anyway). I have the following... |

| It has been YEARS since I've crossed the threshold of the MD. Life got massively in the way (I've adopted 6 kids, and my gaming laptop crashed). Only now have I been able to acquire a new laptop and get my old games replaced. In that time, I see JTS has been hard at work generating more titles for m... |

| Your first issue wouldn't be a problem at this point, unless the same problem exists for 2 on 2 and 1 on 1 - nothing exists for a higher MP game than those for the ACW mod. I can see the point on the lag issue, though. Hey, THERE's an idea...we could require the Yanks to play using their slowest PCs... |

| Here's the link to the mod, if anyone wants to check it out. As I mentioned, they're still making revisions and updates, so I have no doubt things will improve. Just thought it might be interesting. What I'm not sure about is whether the MP games must be played in real-time - something tells me they... |
