With a win at the Battle of Chickamauga, I have finally reached another milestone - 100 official victories in the club with 75 major victories and 25 minor ones. That puts me in a might good mood so bartender I'm buying for anybody that's in the house regardless of what uniform they're wearing.

Well done Ned and I'm mighty glad to sit and have a round or two with you. I knew from that walk-about around Shiloh that you were a slick one. Salute.

Well I think I deserve two drinks since I got you off to such a good start when you were wearing those gray rags. Well done Ned!

Good Lord, Ned! I suppose at the very least that there ought to be some sort of special ribbon for an achievement like that! I think that I'll fire up the old graphics program and cook something up. We just can't let milestones like that come and go by without some sort of historical recognition. Think of the terrific, traditional impact that would have upon prospective new members and academy graduates!

(Think of the traditional impact that would have upon veteran members and guys like me!) :shock:

Break out the liqour, boys! Here's to General Simms's 100 victories!

Ned you owe me drinks big time, since I made a significant contribution to your efforts to get to 100 victories :shock: 8)

Fellas, I'm not the first one to reach 100 victories, I'm just the first one to brag about it. On the Union side, try David Danner with 172 victories and Jeff Laub with 103 victories and there are several that are very close to that century mark. On the Confederate side, although they didn't wind up looking as pretty after the wear and tear as the Yanks did, look at John Dragan with 128 victories, Andy Burke with 122, Tom Phillips with 120, and Nick Kunz with 100 and they also have several that are so very close to the century mark. Just think how many Rebs would reach 100 victories if they took a bath now and then so that we Yanks couldn't smell 'em coming.

If you want to get into won/lost percentages, there are plenty in this club that have far less than 100 victories but are capable of whipping my butt any time any where. However, they can find their own glory as mine at the moment is reaching 100 victories. Bartender, my glass is empty and needs refilling.

Ned,

I always knew you had it in ya! and what a fine bunch of officers that hold that title with you.
It's a mighty fine milestone and it sure would be an honor to buy you a drink or two or three.
Maybe given another 8 years I can celebrate the same.

Rob,

What an incredibly sophisticated signature you have created! I am most impressed. But then one should not be too surprised that such work emanates from the owner of the CSA Medal Works! My compliments, Sir!

Ned,

Congratulations, I'm just a few behind you, maybe I should start playing shorter scenarios instead of campaigns.
