| Thanks for the many excellent responses. Do read the fictional account of Gettysburg-I also loved the novels. In some ways, a game victory is the object of the hobby. However, I think we should consider the actual results of the history as well. If Lee wins a victory near Cashtown, but is still forc... |

| An interesting story form Ambrose Bierce: There is a class of events which by their very nature, and despite any intrinsic interest that they may possess, are foredoomed to oblivion. They are merged in the general story of those greater events of which they were a part, as the thunder of a billow br... |

After my experience with trench warfare in the Atlanta game, I don't think I would want to be the Union player in this one.

That would be a great game. Not sure if they do it.
I could see them doing a Total War involving the Mexican War, the Civil War, The Indian Wars and the Spanish American War. Maybe that would be enough. You could also include The Texas War of Independence.
