I think the Antietam maps were pretty cool. Very wide open, artillery heaven. But to pick one type of map is very difficult. Champion's Hill is cool but the hill drives all the fighting. Gettysburg if played well tends to turn out looking like a fish hook. The terrain just dictates that that is what should happen. Chickamauga was difficult because of the woods and lack of good roads on half of the field. Stones River is neat because of the bridges. Fredricksburg speaks for itself. Tim brought up cool points about Harrisburg being a neat area. But I think the Susquehanna River is over 1/4 mile wide there and that would certainly dictate a lot of strategy. I think that the land of the Lehigh Valley is the perfect spot. Similar to Gettysburg but more rolling. Mostly farms, and orchards and livestock. There are a few cuts in the mountains to the North. Check a topo map along the I 78 corridor West of Allentown, PA. I say Hamburg, PA is my spot with Hawk Mountain pass in the distance to the North, right near the Cabela's of I 78 and Rt. 61. If Lee had crossed the Susquehanna River, I think this is where he would have fought.

Or you could just use the ground south of Gettysburg, that route "around to the right."

Greg,

You sound like a local boy (to that area of PA.)

Somewhat,

I grew up in Elysburg, PA. I live in NJ now and go back to visit my folks on I 78 to
61N. Always thought that the Lancaster/Reading area was the equivalent of Gettysburg, just on the other side of the river. Heck, the roads into both areas are exactly like Gettysburg, just like a wagon wheel. Every time I go back, (it gets to being a long trip about right there), I envision Lee traveling just North of Hawk Mountain and coming down that cut across the Schuylkill River and then into Hamburg, then Shoemakersville, then Leesport, (how fitting), and then Reading. If he got east of the Susquehanna, I'm sure he would have come down in this area, Lebanon, Lancaster or Reading.

Yeah, if Lee had gotten his army across the Susquehanna it could have been "The Battle of Intercourse".

[Gfran64]

Now that's worth fightin' for.

Man, getting a little out of control, are we JC, just because you are a colonel now doesn't mean you get to pick and choose!;)

Watch out, or the Devil will come down to Georgia, and he won't let you play the fiddle either!
