| I'll take a look at the map issue. As for the PDT, to make meaningful changes combined with uniformity, would require that "every" pdt file be changed throughout the entire series. Trying to tackle that and without the knowledge of why some are the way they are, does not really fit the sc... |

| I tend to think that the sooner the update is issued to fix the Artillery Thing, the better. However, I thank-you for giving us the opportunity to suggest some 'fixes'. Overall, I am impressed by the accuracy of research in the historical scenarios. Indeed, I purchased my first JTS title (after a l... |

| Members of the ACWGC Eventually, but no dates are set, there will be an update to the series. With that in mind, are there any fixes and or tweaks that you would like to see made to the "official" scenario listings. I would like to limit these fixes, if any, to the 8 titles that I designed... |

| There was no 'comments' section in the poll so I guess you'd like them posted as a normal forum comment. I voted 'No'. It seems silly that some nobody with command experience (a Replacement Leader) should inspire his men to the same effect as a truly inspiring leader such as J.E.B. It would be bett... |

| Welcome and congrats on being so well travelled. I watch pretty much all those youtube channels you mentioned. Recently, all the episodes on the various Crusades. I'm doing WDS' Crusade games. Crusades: Book II will be released next Friday. There is a free demo. Do you do game reviews? I can get you... |

| Actually, the park rangers removed that wrecked cannon display. Perhaps as long as ten years ago. The cannon is still there but assembled and in a different location. Too bad I say! I could have sworn I saw it on my last visit a few years back. I will have to swing past Murfreesboro next time I am ... |

| Stupid Comment Because of the Drawing of the Caisson in Your Post: The only battlefield I have seen a caisson intact is at Stones River. I have no idea why that is. About 20 yards behind the guns are the caissons with the guns unlimbered to their front. https://civilwartalk.com/attachments/mammoth-... |

| All. It seems like we are getting an influx of people I find it interesting that often many guests are looking in. I think posts about battles,tactics ect would increase people joining. We should also let them know about the Demo game or even have a link to the demo game. I realize that the club is... |

| It plays well. My advice; don't try to defend Gettysburg with Buford. The CSA will learn to hate them on day one if used correctly. BTW, this game can be played very differently each time it is attempted. When I was the Union, I tried to avoid combat on day one, thinking I would be outnumbered and b... |

| My thoughts on the changes to Gun Losses, the User Manuals states both Fire and Melee use the same Combat Results process for determining # men lost. The difference being that Fire uses the Adjusted Fire Value and Melee uses the adjusted strength of the opposing side. Regarding the increase in Gun ... |

| Does everyone know that a defending unit cannot retreat forward? To do this, only 4 units are needed. Place one directly in front of the defender and three in the rear. So, only 4 units are needed to eliminate a defender. This assume the melee is a success. Also, there are no friendly units adjacent... |

| Another odd thing I've noticed since the 'Artillery Scouts' issue was raised is this: Unless there is a large unit attacking, it is almost impossible to remove any limbered guns in melees. It is ridiculous. In a current game we have had line infantry attack limbered artillery in clear terrain. The ... |
