Cadet Coyne, <salute>
Rick, welcome to the ACWGC and thanks for dragging General Doug Burke back to active duty with the Yanks!
What a wonderful place to live as the ACW history is all around you!
Growing up and living in the Pacific NW we really aren't touched by the ACW but there are some connections!
The Treaty of Point Elloitt in 1855 was lead by the Washington Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens, later a Union General who was killed at the Battle of Chantilly on 1 September, 1862.
In 1859 the boundary dispute over the San Juan Islands with Great Britian broke out! Called the Pig War because it was triggered by the shooting of a pig.
There were no human casualties on either side but Captain George Pickett was dispatched with members of the 9th Infantry Regiment with orders to prevent the British from landing!
Here in the ACWGC we all can share in the history of the ACW on the battlefields of the WDS ACW Campaign games!
Lots of good and friendly gamers here to get to know and game against that will last a lifetime!
Again, welcome to the ACWGC!
Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
General Nick Kunz Commanding, 2nd Corps, AoT ![Image](http://www.wargame.ch/wc/acw/sub/vmi/AoA/Library/rank_files/Staff/General_Stars_%20Wreath_small.png) ![Image](https://www.wargame.ch/wc/acw/Link_Express/index_files/Stewarts_Corps_Flag_2_Ripple.jpg)
