Gen. Hampel Sir, I would be delighted to have BB as a scenario (I see Gen. Kunz agrees). If you don't mind, please do so!!! (I agree that Antietam is the logical title for this scenario).

A quick search of the local library catalog ("civil war" and "documentary") listed multiple entries. While I can't speak for the quality of all, there were a large number(and there are duplicate entries), several of which I have enjoyed and learned from (including one VHS tape of... |

For Massachusetts members with a VHS (videocassette) working I have recently come across a VHS video in the NOBLE library network "Echoes of the Blue and Gray: Civil War Veterans on VideoCassette" - a compilation of still and film clips from the early 1900's focusing on Civil War veterans.... |

Dear Modders: This is to let you know that when I attempted to download the HPS Civil War Map Mod, I got a 404 error (can't find the page error). This was updated on 5/12/12 so maybe a letter error? Could you look into it for those of us who are interested in modding the maps? (The unit links were f... |

I believe that the title of the book mentioned is Like Wolves on the Fold: The Defence of Rorke's Drift by Mike Snook--a LtC in the Royal Regiment of Wales (formerly the 24th regiment -- the unit at Rorke's Drift): "a highly-detailed account of the engagement at Rorke's Drift. It recounts the m... |

I just returned from Gettysburg, and would like to comment on the philosophy of the Park Service. It is now the policy of the Park Service to actively restore the controlled portions of the battlefield to as accurate a condition as possible.
