ACW - Newsletter
EDITION 01 - May 1998
May 03, 1998
Editor: Pierre Desruisseaux ACW - CE
I would like to take this opportunity to bring you up-todate with the
Club organization. Effective May 1st, Rick Ledford will step down as the
Confederate CoA and become Sec. of War for the ACW Cabinet. I would
like to take this time to thank him for his dedicated and hard work for
the Southern side of the Club, and to welcome him and wish him the best
in his new position.
CSA Command changes are as follows.
CoA - Gen Maxcy Gregg is resigning as III Corps commander and will assume the post CSA CoA.
Ist Corps - The Grey Line I Corps Lt. General Jim Thomas Commanding
IInd Corps - Lt Gen Jim Butler is resigning as II Corps commander and will assume division command. He will retain the rank of Lt Major. New Commander "Stonewall" II Corps Lt. General Randy Prather Commanding
IIIrd Corps - Lt Gen Denis McBride will assume command of III Corps.
What we have to look forward with the ACW BG games is the new 32 bit
versions. I think that this will bring new interest in playing since it
does correct one of the biggest problems, the viewing of enemy files and
results. This certainly has been a concern of late.
For your information on the Info Logo Wargame Club main page we have the
ACW and the NWC listed. The recruiting forms are going through their
server. It has added several new recruits over the last couple of
weeks. The colaboration with ILWC will provide us with increased
resources and opportunities.
Warmest regards,
Pierre D. ACW C.E.

BATTLE CASUALTIES
A Union Victory at the Wheatfield - 6A - GC1W week 8 has moved the results
closer to Richmond. The COnfederacy is doing well in many other battles, only time
will tell.
A hard fought battle!!

Col. Roger Hulinsky and I are engaged in the long-awaited (by those who enjoy watching
grass grow) "Battle of the
Quartermasters". No sooner did Col. Hulinsky's boys set their pies out to cool, than
Longstreet's pantry patrol encircled them
and commenced lobbing hardtack into their midst. The field, though still contested, is
littered with crockery and drenched in
Yankee soup de jour.
