| 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 fix... |

| I don't believe a hypothetical Reb IV Corps exists in any 'off the shelf' scenarios available with WDS Gettysburg - IIRC from reading the Scenario Notes sometime ago. Instead, they are there as a ready-made resource to use in the scenario editor. Some months back I commanded the IV Corps in Robert F... |

| I think one of the cool things about the series is the music, and the way it linked to the particular title. For example, the later war games always felt a bit darker in mood - the song about the Sultana saw to that. Similarly, it was nice to have the song about Shiloh Hill on the Shiloh title and s... |

| You could actually write an essay on this question if you were so inclined. When you look at it, a What If scenario has a lot of boxes to tick. Blake mentioned some of the most important ones, but I'd also add plausibility - both in geography but also in ORBATs. I think a What If scenario has to hav... |

| I'm a horse and musket gamer really. There was a trail a little while back saying WDS might tackle the Zulu War - that would be exciting to me but as ever with colonial-era wargames, the challenge is to achieve balance. Not easy. |

| I have often thought that in the scenarios with bigger maps, the ability to load your guys onto the RR would be a really cool feature. |
