Result of the melee was that the Union cavalry unit was eliminated. Somehow, J Davis was captured during this... Does ... |

| This one will be a while in completing I plan to start with the games I currently have, and then add the rest over time, and play through EVERY historical scenario, keeping track of casualties for both sides, as well as leaders Killed, Wounded, or Captured. We'll see who has the fewest casualties by... |

Welcome Jules! Looking forward to engaging with you on the field! I have Gettysburg, Peninsula, and Overland as well, plus a few more (which I'm sure you'll get before too long).

| Thanks to all y'all (yes, Yanks, that is proper English, as "y'all" is the singular...) :) My apologies for not getting by sooner - life has been rather rough on the home front lately, but I'm HOPING that I will be able to start being a bit more active. Between work, home, and a few other ... |

| Just finished watching "Field of Lost Shoes" with my wife, first time I'd ever seen it. If you haven't ever heard of it / seen it, it is the story of the battle of New Market, VA during the North's invasion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864. The corps of cadets at the Virginia Military Inst... |

Ken,
Did you see any message about certain unspecified properties of the installer files couldn't be copied to the flash drive? That's what I see, but things APPEAR to still work ok when I install from the flash drive. I'm just wondering what properties it's talking about... |

| Ok, so I'm in a number of Civil War groups on Facebook, but most of them are simply filled with people who want to disparage the South on every post, rather than provide any informed/researched opinions or information on topics such as this one. So I thought I'd throw it out here (my apologies if it... |

| So you didn't copy the installer to the flash, you installed the game to the flash - correct? That may be my next route - see how much space the installed games take up and just install everything to a flash drive and run it from there.... I DID just try the copying of Mexican American War's old ins... |

| Has anyone attempted to copy their installer files to a new drive at any point? I have several installers which John and Rich were kind enough to send me back when the store was changing from HPS to JTS. They are copied onto my laptop hard drive. I'm trying to clean up the drive and move files to fl... |

| Roger that. Man, he was one lucky boy. Survived in a unit that was decimated by war's end. Discharged in 1864 due to illness. Fought at Shiloh, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge (Chattanooga campaign), possibly around Atlanta, and possibly (thought I doubt this was early enough) the NC campaign. |

| Scott, thanks for the PM - that's definitely him (at least, from what I can figure. The enlistment details almost match up, as does the transfer note that he was originally in the 18th AL). The assistance is much appreciated!! All who pointed me to some sites, I appreciate the assistance. Now the fu... |
