| Generally speaking, because leaders can be used in a somewhat gamey fashion. I made the design decision to rarely use SICs in a battle at the same time. Same with leaders for artillery. I rarely have even FICs for artillery. |

Fixed: I removed the [159,0] entrance chance. |

| The Wauhatchie scenarios always seemed off to me. Campaign Chickamauga - scenarios 77 to 80 inclusive. The Yanks start off with 1500 men (Cobham's PA Bde & Ireland's New Yorkers) and the Rebs (Jenkins' SC Bde) start off with 1200 men plus. The Yanks get 4 Napoleons also. Ireland's Brigade is fi... |

| 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 designe... |

| As for my first ACW battlefield. I visited Nashville in 1988, where I met my 1st wife. I briefly visited Shy's Hill (Battle of Nashville). There wasn't much there. I didn't much get into ACW until I moved to Tenn in 1990. Before that I mostly studied WWII. |

| As a personal preference, I would rather see the movement factors contained in Chickamauga 039 in lieu of Antietam. The reason being that I'm used to cavalry being able to move 24 hexes instead of just 20, but if that was the standard then I could live with it. You are correct that there are some s... |

| Without checking every scenario (checked 2 or 3 scattered throughout the lists) for each game, here is what I found. The numbers indicate the movement costs for infantry (first number is cost in line, and the second number is cost in column) in forests. Antietam 5/4 Atlanta 5/5 Chancellorsville 5/4... |

I know it's a long battle but similar to Peterburg or Gettysburg, those have made for some interesting large multiplayer battles. Regarding your point about the naval units, have always wishe... |

| I'm a relative newcomer (USA Class of December 2025), so please factor that into your reaction. Looking at Campaign Shiloh (for example) the naming conventions are a little confusing to the newbie. As I read through the list of scenarios, I'm pretty awed by the number of options/variants/what ifs (... |
