Can a Lt play more that one opponent at a time for this competition.

Hi Jack,

My initial thoughts were that a lieutenant could compete as long as they were that, however with only one active battle at a time. That said, I have 7 Confederate lieutenants interested in participating and only 4 Union lieutenants (you included) who've signed on to the idea. All 4 are currently paired with an opponent.

If you feel that you are able to accomodate another lieutenant in this competition I will send riders with introductions. My sentries will be expecting your messenger.

My regards sir,

I've got four underway right now, one with Hampus that we started prior to the Lt Cup being announced, one with Paul for the Lt Cup, One with General Tisdale and one with Nick testing a scenario for the Lt Cup. That and I'm working on another scenario for the Lt Cup. I've got a fairly fullplate right now, so as much as I might want to help I really can't.

However, that doesn't mean that the othe Union Lts couldn't take an another opponent.

I am happy to report on the completion of a Lieutenant's Cup battle. 1st Lt Mark van der Hagen (USA) and Fld Lt Harry Haines battled to what was described as a "hard fought" draw in the HPS scenario "Raid on Stephenson's Depot".

I guess the Union Lts just don't stay at that rank for very long, being very active and earning their points for Captain very quickly.We will have to push recruiting to fill the ranks.

Sir, 1st Lt van der Hagen (USA Liaison) and I are beating the bushes for volunteers. There were two recent UMA graduates, however neither of us has had any luck establishing contact with the gentlemen. There are 2 Field Lieutenants waiting for an opponent. If you (or anyone else) know of any Union lietenants who may be unaware of this competition, Lt van der Hagen and I would be grateful for the help.

My regards sir,

Fellow Union Lts! (salute)

As a reminder, if you are a Union Lt and interested in playing a game toward the Lt's Cup please email me and I will arrange a battle for you. We need more Union Lt's to step up and help us whip some of those uppity rebel Fld Lt's! [:D]

We're still running into the problem of more Confederate lieutenants available than there are Union lieutenants to go around. One of my VMI superiors suggested something I'd considered before, and after floating the idea by 1st Lt Mark van der Hagen (USA) we have decided to expand the eligible ranks to include captains.

As we are most in need of Union officers at the moment, we will initally call for all interested Union captains to reply announce themselves.

It has been some time since this topic appeared in the tavern, and I though I might offer an update on the happenings of this competition between recent graduates of the respective academies.

The competition is intended to introduce new ACWGC members to officers of the opposing army with the goal being they form friendships and gain early battle opportunities. It is open to lieutenants and captains of each army, and if you have any in your commands who are interested but not participating I ask that they contact 1st Lieutenant Mark van der Hagen (USA) or myself.

Participants are awarded the Lieutenant's Cup Ribbon upon completion of their battle, and the "Loving Cup" is awarded to the winning academy at the end of each quarter. The first award of the cup will be determined at the end of this quarter (30 Sept 09), at which time it will be displayed in the winning academy's headquarters. Battles completed during the quarter will determine the winning side. The cup will remain at the academy until it is won outright in subsequent quarterly results, with a tie allowing to academy to retain possession for another quarter.

Thirteen battles have been arranged to date, of which eight have been completed. Graduates of both academies have represented themselves in the finest manner, and the current results show a slight lead for the Union officers:

Union Major Victory: 2
Union Minor Victory: 1
Draws: 3
Confederate Major Victory: 2

Union points: 4.25
Confederate points: 3.75

I apologize, my mount decided to leave without me. I provide my information.
