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 and every time which, to me, is what makes a good scenario. |

Possibly Atlanta #61-Kennesaw Chase June 20 It has a large map with plenty of objectives, plenty of time, and limited artillery ammunition for both sides. Also both armies are balanced. Really enjoyed playing this one from both sides. |

002 from Chancellorsville has so much replay value. 007 from Gettysburg is probably my favourite though. There's something about that little crossroads town in Pennsylvania - it keeps drawing you back. |

Gents <Salute> For me, WDS Chickamauga historical #8 scenario, the full two day battle is my favorite. I don't think I have ever lost playing the Confederates in either one-on-one or multi-player matchups. One reason it is dear to me, is that I live just 30 minutes away, and have frequented the battlefield dozens and dozens of times. I know it fairly well, having walked its fields and woods visiting all 1100 plus monuments, markers, and tablets multiple times over the years since childhood. During grade-school years I would ride my bike down to Ringgold, Georgia and visit the old Stone Church, the site of Catoosa Station where Hood's boys de-trained after their long and arduous trip from Richmond via Atlanta, and the old RR depot still standing, still pocked with battle scars from the Civil War. Mom & Dad took us kids to the park on a regular basis, for picnics, bike rides, re-enactments, history tours, and so on. My brother, as symphony concertmaster, used to play pops in the park with the Chattanooga Orchestra every July 4th weekend. My paternal grandfather, (1892 - 1977) received his army basic training at Ft. Oglethorpe in 1915 and during those training weeks as a matter of regimen, he marched all over the park as the army training center was adjacent to the national battlefield. Finally, I have kin that fought there during those three tumultuous days in 1863. All this to say, I take special interest in playing this one as I know the ground, I know the commanders, and I know what they found out all too well, that the dark North Georgia woods of Chickamauga is a hell of a place to fight a big battle. |

Cool, I myself live only a bit further away. About 90 minutes. I generally go 1-2 times a year. Only one thing, the 2-day historical scenario is #039, not #8, which is Perryville. |
