Instead of an ACW book, my wife gave me a bathrobe. She said that I have entirely too many books about the Civil War and that she'd only be adding to the massive headache of getting rid of all of them when I pass on. Not to be ignored I opened up my Gordon C. Rhea book on The Battle of the Wilderness for a long overdue second read. This was entirely in keeping with my current battlecard. Cam McOmish and I have taken the forbiden plunge into the monster 1390-turn Overland Campaign scenario, with the understanding that if either of us dies before the game has been concluded, the other merits a Major Victory. As we are both downright gritty players and expect to squeeze the last once of enjoyment from the game, we believe that it may very well go the distance if we don't die first.
