American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

In case you haven't noticed, but I am sure you have, it has been a week since Jason has posted a new topic in the MDT.

Do not fear. He is fine. I have it on good authority, from his mother, that he is recovering from the latest whipping he received from our Southern Armies quite quickly. He expects to be back up and fighting again very soon. How any human can continue to recover from such losses is quite admirable. The entire South marvels at his fortitude to continue on in the face of certain defeat. He has, indeed, become something of a pop culture phenomenon in the Confederacy.

Just last week a junior lieutenant got too close to a pack mule and was kicked directly in the "unmentionables." But nearby soldiers quickly guffawed that he has been hit directly in his "Campbell's!" At another fireside soldiers were playing poker when a lucky corporal drew an Ace on the river and won a large hand. The losing officer was said to be "Campbelled" out of that pot. There is even talk of requesting that the term "Defeat" in the DoR be replaced with "Campbell." My favorite things are the Jason Campbell costumes the kids are wearing this year.



Its a double-sided rearward facing Yankee soldier! No matter which way they face they always seem to be running away. Oh, kids, they do the darnedest things!

Old "Cannon Fodder" Campbell should be back to the MDT soon though. Rest assured.

First...I just want to say how touching it is to be missed by the fine gents of the South. Glad to see that Southern chivalry hasn't given up the ghost yet.
What a bunch of lies and calumny! Is Pinkerton working for you boys in the South now?????
The "unmentionables" comment. Psssh. Kicked by a pack mule? Yes. In the...ahem..."unmentionables"????? Not quite...unless you count my Colt revolver an "unmentionable". That "group of soldiers" was a group of blind men that had volunteered for the Invalid Corp to count spoons for mess kits and had over indulged in a keg of apple jack.
The only way, sir, that you could have contacted my dear mother would be with an ouija board as she passed away several years ago. The wretched creature that your "good authority" came from was no doubt my step-mother. Yeah. Not a big fan of me, that one is.
As far as the loosing goes...well, sir,... *takes a long drink from a suddenly produced flask*... *sniffs*...somebody has to do it. Yes. As I told your cohort, Captain Holt, I've gotten so use to giving away my swords at surrenders, I started ordering them wholesale from a frim in Detroit. Im also thinking about changing the color of my sword sash month to month as an added feature to identify at a glance what month the surrender occurred!
Kids. Those darn kids. So fickle and easily swayed. Wasn't it just last Halloween those little rascals were begging door to door for candy in the then famous General Rob Meadows "Why-Carry-Your-Corp-Flag-When-You-Can-Wear-It" costume?????

What a social faux pas - white after Labor Day? I think not, sir.

If your in the Confederacy, white is acceptable at any time of the year, sir.
