Ah, very well done! And a great fight it was. Thanks for the memory!

<t>It looks like I've got the same problem as Neal - stuck in Demo mode. After trying to repatch (which didn't work), I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game (1.4 demo version), deactivated the game, then patched up to 1.5. Still no luck. It continues to boot as a demo version with no opportunity...

<r>Burnside had no opportunity to take advantage of his superior numbers until he had IX Corps across the Antietam. It was a Thermopylae/300 Spartans situation where it didn't matter how many he had at first. Also, for the reasons already expressed, I don't agree that Burnside necessarily displayed ...

<r>The interaction between the two men throughout the morning certainly reflected a growing exasperation by each toward the other. McClellan thought Burnside was dawdling while Burnside was convinced his chief didn't appreciate the situation: that his IX Corps had already made a couple of intense at...

Ultimately, that does count for something given that the tide was rolling in the Reb's favor at the time and another debacle could well have brought England and France into the war (which ...

<r>I had the great good fortune to spend this past weekend at the sesquicentennial of the Great Battle in Sharpsburg. An amazing experience! I had some initial concerns about fighting the crowds but the positives far outweighed any problems with people stepping into photos, traffic, etc. (although i...

<t>BB, Thanks for the use of your TS server and glad you could join in! I also have to say that you did far better than most in your first couple of GCM games -- it's certainly not typical to rack up more casualties than taken by your second game.<br/> <br/> As of this morning our TS server is still...
