EDITION 03 - July 1998
Editor: Pierre Desruisseaux ACW - CE
It's hard to believe but One Year has passed marking the Club's first anniversary. Having been here from the beginning I have seen the Club go through some difficult growing pains, however it has to grown into a mature and active Club 16 new USA recruits and 11 CSA recruits this month. Certainly more that just a Club were we play wargames but an outlet for personal creativity. Look at all of the fine web pages designed and actively updated by the Corps Commanders, Divisional Commanders and virtually anyone wanting to participate in this way. I am proud to be a member of this Club.
CSA NEWS
Ist Corps and IIIrd Corps have opened a Mess/board. You can get to it via their HQ pages, another fine addition to esprit de corps.
Ist and IIIrd Corps Officers are participating in Corps maneuvers. A 4-4 Multi battle of BGG is being played
USA NEWS
A Union IVth Corps has been formed. Col Hulinsky has accepted command of the newly formed IV Corp and will receive a brevit rank of LtGen
US Officers,
After a long dry spell, it appears the Confederacy is attempting to challenge the Union's dominance in this little war.
With this in mind, Gen Peluso has ordered the reopening of the US HQ to organize the
Union Commander's to meet this new
Rebel offensive. He states it is probably an unnecessary precaution considering the
youthful inexperience of the CSA's new
leadership but he felt it would be a good drill for all of our officer's (both young and
old)!
We hope to see you there!(See your immediate commander for a pass to access the HQ.)
Grand Campaign 1 1998 News
Here are the latest update figures for the 1998 Grand Campaign. Most of the battles are
into the 15th thru
22nd move. All battles have seen casualties (though Second Bull Run, with 125 Rebel
cavalry casualties and 4 Union guns
lost, is still largely a battle of maneuver to this point).
There have been no completed battles within the last month but Wilson's Creek and A
Rock and a Hard
Place are getting close to the end. wilson's Creek looks as though it will be a Rebel
victory, but Rock and a
Hard Place is still up for grabs. .

Gettysburg, July 1, 1863
Late in the afternoon of this first day's battle, when the firing had greatly decreased along most of the lines General Ewell and I were riding through the streets go Gettysburg. In a previous battle he had lost one of his legs, but prided himself on the efficient of the wooden one which he used in it's place. as we rode together, a body of Union soldiers, posted behind some buildings and fences on the outskirts of the town, suddenly opened a brisk fire. A number of Confederates were killed or wounded, and I heard the ominous thud of a Minie ball as it struck General Ewell at my side. I quickly asked: 'Are you hurt, Sir?' 'No,no,' he replied; 'I'm not hurt. But suppose that ball had struck you: we would have had trouble of carrying you off the field, sir. You see how much better fixed or a fight I am than you are. It don't hurt a bit to be shot in a wooden leg.'
