It was my honor to have served on the ACWGC Cabinet during General Dortch's term as Club President.
He was a strong leader and took initiative, always striving hard to improve the club.
My hat is off in memory of General Dortch.

I, also, found "Glory" to be both entertaining and uplifting. Yes, it took some liberties (combining characters, omitting details, etc.), but what Hollywood movie doesn't? (Why, they can't even get all the details correct in "The Lord of the Rings"!  ) |

My congratulations to both of you, sirs!
By the way, General Barycki makes a fine tour guide for Gettysburg, if any of you happen to be in that area.  |

| Gentlemen, I consider Corinth to be my stomping grounds, having engaged in battle there many times, from both sides, against human and A/I opponents. As far as I can recall, I have never been beaten there. Until now. I met my match against General Mike Letus, of the Union Army of the Tennessee. We j... |

| It would be fun if WDS opened up more uniform/icon options to add European forces in some "what if" scenarios. But the argument over "quality" ratings would be very interesting :mrgreen: Are the USA/CSA forces the best in the world by 1864? Beats me. General Blake, I didn't cons... |

| I just finished reading "Crucible of Command", a dual biography of Grant and Lee by William C. Davis. I learned a lot about the early years of both men I didn't know before. (I recommend the book, but if you're a fan of Lee - make sure you're sitting down when you read it! :) ) Anyway, nea... |

| Hello everyone. I am a bit out of order posting this here instead of in the Book Forum but not many have visited that Forum lately. My question for you (from my post as a UMA trainer) is what 1 book would you recommend to a cadet if he asked for such to be introduced to the history of the ACW? My s... |

| Congratulations on the retirement, sir! I, too, am no longer painfully (er, I mean, 'GAINFULLY'!) employed. :D It sounds as if you're already giving serious consideration to Campaign: Corinth. I would support that decision. Several of the engagements are two-day battles, providing time for maneuver ... |

I was introduced to General Philips years ago, in one of our sister clubs (the Colonial Campaigns Clubs). He will be missed.

General Strickler,
I'm sure I speak for Generals Swanson and Reneau when I say . . . "Cheers!"
Of course, we expect all drinks will be on General Strickler's tab. |
