| I don't know if it's written anywhere [I'm currently away from my computer] but if you change facing or change stance (e.g. line into column) it is considered as 'movement' as it uses up some of your movement points. I'm fairly sure that firing is also considered as movement but I don't think opport... |

What game titles do you have?
That will assist in determining a suitable scenario. Recommendations will vary depending on whether you have 2 or 3 players. I'll hope to include a few suggestions for both numbers. |

| I am unable to decide between two scenarios: Shenandoah 041 Good's Farm; and Chickamauga (historical and full battle variants). I have played both those battles on numerous occasions (Good's Farm [9 times, played both sides], Chickamaugas [currently playing #7]. They have played out differently each... |

| Some interesting and valid concerns raised by Ned Simms. I too would be adverse to a 'ladder' as it could encourage bad behaviour that is mostly suppressed as things are at present. Specifically: 1. There are very few 'phase' games played so there should be no significant statistical oddity in that ... |

| I do think it ironic that they label themselves 'History Channel' and in that regard they should probably not use kilometres. Still, the USA is way behind the times as the only countries not using the metric system are USA, Liberia, and Myanmar ( https://thefactbase.com/there-are-only-three-countri... |

| I've done some work for you. Although the game was originally published by Cauldron Ltd (USA) it was developed by Activision (Czech.). It is considered 'abandonware' and seems to be available for free and playable on a computer (one link - https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-history-channel-civil... |

| I didn't realise that "couldn't get away with half of what he did today" meant assassinations. I have no doubt that sort of thing goes on in modern times and is fully authorised by the U.S. President. The obvious one that came to mind for me was Fidel Castro ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... |

| Hi Paul, Thanks for the welcome. Sorry I wrote the wrong title, the name of the miniature rule set of Sons of the Desert. It's my friends rule set and we played a scenario based on the Sahara Desert 1888. The rule set was completely lopsided as I was outnumbered 10 to 1 and outflanked. Thanks for t... |

| Welcome. After growing up with miniature and board wargames I couldn't believe my eyes when I first bought Panzer General and began to play it. I stayed up all night playing it; I was a tired boy at work the next day. It is effectively still available as Panzer Corps (as you probably know as you men... |

| I also enjoy playing MP games and agree that they are fairly uncommon and would only comprise a small proportion of all games played. I suspect the reasons behind there being so few is that a number of things are desirable for a fun MP game, such as: Fast responders (files must be passed from player... |
