Just log into teamspeak. Right now there are a few of us in there. There should be the regular 7pm eastern game starting in about an hour. Once you are in teamspeak there are players who will help out with any questions.
Mic is not required, but it is helpful.

Looking at it again, it wasn't nearly as bloody as many we've had - everyone was engaged but nobody was really put through the meat grinder - maybe shoey and Sharpe the most (of those that I could see). We've had tons where casualties for both sides were well over 30%, with individual divisions losing 40-50% easily.

Shoey took 46% casualties. But you're right; we've certainly had bloodier. Seal has vowed to play more conservatively (at least for yesterday). Without his typical full division charge to melee, the casualties were lower -- only some 9000 casualties out of 50,000 men on the field.
It did seem as if we were engaged the whole battle though.

Wow, how did you talk him into that? He must have been ill/sober.
Shoey took a beating because he was on our far flank, outnumbered, and assaulting Cemetery Hill. Not an enviable place to be. Robinson said he came up and took cannister like a champ though.

In that battle Parker, if you, Shoey and Sharpe had all attacked me at once, there is no way I would have held. Especially if yall had hit me before Writer got his men around to support my left.

parker had people come up to culps on his front (weebey and someone else) so he couldnt really help us support the cemetery hill attack. I think that we would have been able to push you off it if shoey had left some men more to his right so writer couldnt rap around us as easily. Good fight though.
I was surprised to find that I did not take that many casualties despite it being pretty close range shooting and that hasty withdraw. That one banzai regiment of shoey's definitely helped the retreat though. It kept back almost all of writer's division!

Shoey: Drunken Master.
But yeah Robinson, I wasn't really in a good spot to help on that attack. Beef drew me up to hold Keegan's flank on the creek and then I took a chance to charge up an undefended Culp's but turned back when Weebey showed up and others were coming as well. I would've had to've attacked across the foot of Culp's north face, and Weebey and whoever else could've laid into my flank when they came up, not to mention it would've split our army in two.
