Has anyone ever made a Ball's Bluff map/scenario/OOB?

I have been working on a list of all historical ACW battles which can be played using TS or HPS and I have not come across it as an option/mod

I mean, it's not like it would be that difficult. I would have thought they'd have included it with HPS Antietam or TS Bull Run since it was an early battle from that area.

Probably the forces engaged are too small to make for a good scenario in John Tiller's systems.

I thought the same thing, but they've made scenarios of smaller battles before: Big Bethel comes to mind. Why not break them up into companies and see how it goes? At the same time, a 5 on 5 regimental brawl seems like a good training scenario at the least.

WOW!!!! My login finally actually worked!!! Thank you Blake!!!! As for the Ball's Bluff Scenario, as there are no Union Icons showing Turkeys in Blue with targets on their backs as they ran away, it would be difficult to simulate the way this one ended up......
