The Cabinet has approved a rule change to streamline the future addition of ACW themed games to the list of club sanctioned games.
1.1."American Civil War Game Club (hereinafter referred to as 'the ACWGC' or simply 'the Club') has been formed to play American Civil War computer games. These games are currently the Talonsoft/Matrix Games and HPS Simulations American Civil War games designed by John Tiller as well as the game Forge of Freedom (FoF)by Matrix Games and American Civil War: The Blue & the Gray (AACW)by AGEod."

A simple majority of the cabinet is sufficient to add the new game."</b></font id="orange">
9.1 "Revisions to these rules must first be approved by a simple majority of the Cabinet, then by a simple majority of club members voting. Club-wide votes are to be organized by the Cabinet, but must allow at least two weeks for votes to be received."
