This does not bode well for the Union. For Byrd is to General Georgia as Burnside was to Lee.

I'm going to put up a second doodle. If I get more response for the following Saturday, I'll postpone one more weekend.

We can't delay any more because I'm holding up the Napoleonic campaign and that would be unjust.

Any feedback?

Well, it would certainly be a shame if Seitzinger isn't present to surrender his sword in person. In turn, I shall present him with a spoon, wooden of course, to take to Elmira prison camp.

Byrdside understands that a disciple of McClellan can not fathom the finer nuances of offensive maneuver. You are forgiven Sir!

A wooden spoon? I think I shall have two to three Union prisoners feed me once the war is won. Twisted Evil

I can now make the 26th so we have 14 players. No doubt a few more will show unannounced on the day. How many does the scenario need? Our TS server can only accomodate 20!

This was one problem I had with the Nap campaign last year, I have decided that not even the 2 C-in-Cs are going to be needed in the battles this time around as long as they can e-mail me their plans and orders, a stand-in will take over in the interests of keeping things flowing.

EDIT: Just had a thought. There is a Nap campaign battle all set up ready to go. We could play that on Saturday if key people are missing from the Lost Division line-up. A dozen players is plenty for that.

Let's play.

I'll be in Houston next weekend. And Kevin would be lost without me.

MajorByrd Thu Jul 24, 2014 10:35 pm

Excellent idea since I cannot make next Saturday either.

Indeed. I hate to have to break in a new sacrificial lamb.

I prefer sacrificial LION! Twisted Evil

Does mint sauce go with lion as well as it does with lamb?

Sorry guys at 21:25 UK time I dropped from the game, lost TS too.

I am not sure how long into the battle it was that I dropped but from what I had seen so far I knew the fight was lost for the Rebs, the main rebel body of Seitzingers seemed to completely forget the plan that was drawn up and instead of 'protecting and screening' the move of the FG division north, it simply attacked in an unco-ordinated mess.

I do think SoW has a major failing in that it is much too easy and quick to swing brigades and divisions that are facing one way to meet attacks from unexpected directions. Apart from a gentleman's rule to voluntarily delay responses to suprose attacks I don't see a way to improve this.
