| I'm surprised so many eschew the enhanced realism of EFOW because of the nuisance of being unable to see from a hex where nobody is, but to each their own. What I usually do is look for a promising hex and send a mounted officer to investigate before moving a unit there. I don't see anything gamey ... |

They could make a House Rule. But as a wily gaming veteran such a rule would totally benefit me against any person less experienced. Any newbie should avoid such House Rules which limit their ability to scout the board as it puts them at a disadvantage.

| If we could have EFoW without LoS restrictions I would use it because I like the uncertainty that other things in EFoW provide. 100% agree. ExFoW isn't all bad but it's largest drawback is the LoS restrictions. These are unnecessary and useless as there is a simple workaround that everyone can/does... |

| I'm always on the lookout for some instrumental Civil War music to play while I am working on a turn. I ran across Craig Duncan's two albums and found them both really solid. They are nothing ground-breaking but simply excellent instrumental renditions of Civil War classics. One album has northern ... |

Not sure if this is a pop-quiz or a question
But the answer is A.
Units eliminated on the edge of the map are wiped out and captured with all their points being given to their opponents. |

| I posted a completed game via the DOR website in early February, it appeared to go smoothly, but I still don't see the game recorded in the DOR spreadsheet. What should I do? So far only my training game shows up in the spreadsheet. This missing game is my lieutenants' cup game. Hi Kevin, I sent yo... |

| Destoying your own emplaced wagons (seldom seen in scenarios) is doable but probably not a big deal. If you have the time and artillery shells to spare then I guess you can do it. But large scenarios are rarely decided by 100 - 200 points and so you probably have bigger worries to be concerned about... |

| Gentlemen, I am sad to announce the passing of longtime ACWGC Member, Clinton Matthews. He passed away on December 27, 2025. I knew something was wrong when he failed to muster for the first time in memory. Clinton joined the Club in 2011 and compiled a very commendable record of 79 victories again... |

| My question is simply "should any and all leaders be equal in a melee?" Paul said he would like to factor the quality of the Leader into the equation which is a fair opinion/argument to have. But taking the games as they are currently designed is what I am looking at. As designed, the gam... |

| From the User's Manual concerning Melee Modifiers: If the either side has a Leader with them, then 10% is added to their strength. Only the most senior leader is counted, additional leaders have no additional effect. The leader does not have to be in the unit's chain of command. Do you agree or dis... |

| 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 ... |
