American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

Southern Gentlemen,

The fine Officers of Hancocks Division (5 of us) are seeking a Confederate team to meet us on the field of battle in the following HPS Shiloh scenario. (You wouldn't necessarily have to have 5 players... 3 or 4 officers would probably be ok if that's all you can raise.)

Weather_XX_Battle of the Ridges (v.1).scn - You can find this scenario by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the scenario list in the HPS Shiloh game and it's the 2nd one up from the bottom. It's a 40 turn scenario.

We are looking for a quality Confederate team that is able to keep up a good file exchange rate. We generally exchange battle files at least once every three days. If either side fails to return the file within 5 days... it's an automatic Major Victory for the other side except for extreme cases of extreme duress (death, hurricanes or imprisonment).

We are currently engaged in another MP game versus Lt General Neal Hebert & the Gator Alley Division of the AotM. We are 24 turns into that MP game and you can contact them for a reference on our capabilities to provide quick and orderly file exchanges.

Interested Confederate teams should contact me at gregorolinsky@yahoo.com . We are open to discussing the Optional Rules and any House Rules to be used for the MP game.

We promise to return your bodies to Virginia for a proper burial after the battle is over and we will be happy to write an article about your vain but courageous attempt to defeat us in an upcoming issue of the Confederate Patriot's Dispatch paper.

To any Confederate Team!

Watch out!

Yankee rifles have a range of 5 while your Army will have mostly muskets with a range of 2! The large open spaces also favor Yankee long-range artillery while the Rebs have no 10lbr Parrott or 3in Rifled guns with a range of 21 - that's zero, zilch, nada. The weather may even it out some but if the weather is clear your going to be outgunned. The Yanks even have heavy artillery with 20lbr and 30lbr Parrotts with a range of 27 and 36! With so few trees... you can't avoid them.

I know this map, well...

General Blake,

It appears you know the scenario much better than I do. I simply picked it because Sean Turner wanted to play a Shiloh scenario and it had enough men to split between the five of us and still have a decent amount of men and was only 40 turns in length.

We are certainly open to discussion about other scenarios...
