| I too feel the same way about controversy. Its funny how after I might post something that has a bit of an "edge" to it I almost dread to open the next reply. That being said, I need to say this about that: :D Under the long accepted figures, say, 20,000 CS versus 60,000 US casualties, Gr... |

| Therefore surely there is no benefit to a Union player attempting to do anything beyond treating each new situation as a numbers game?

| Steven Newton's book (which I started re-reading last night due to this thread) covers this. His hypothesis is that the South did an excellent job numbers-wise of recovering from the 1863 disasters by the time the spring campaigns started.

| John's email asking me the name and title tipped me off to this thread. I had almost forgotten I hadn't yet purchased this one, but I've done so now and I'm looking over the game as we speak.

| Brett: Glad to see you continue your research. I am sure it is a very tedious business. Ernie. Definitely tedious, but once I knew I could find specific Confederate regimental strengths for the Siege of Petersburg on many dates I knew I wanted to get all of the rolls of NARA Microfilm 935 covering ... |
