We are starting here with the JR III rules also. I alone have dropped about 500 bucks on figures wholesale for the shop and all are now gone. The only...
Gentlemen, First, Amen Peter. I am certainly not The Oracle of Delphi on any of these issues, and the more I read and research it seems the less I truly can...
Dean you have brought out some good points. On many occasions my battalion has been in front of the guns outwards to about 50 yards or more. We did as most...

I just picked up a devotional book called Battlefields & Blessings: Stories of faith and Courage from the Civil War by Terry Tuley (Living Ink Books). It is a...
I am sure our paths have crossed before. I have commanded several brigades on the field over the years. Was COS for the ANV and PACS and rode as a private...
I sent this by mistake to the Lace Wars group, so I imagine there some bemused readers on that site wonderin' what the heck they did to deserve receiving this...
Dean, I will check out the lacw war site and give you a big HUH!!!! You have cleared up the first part of the question with no problems. but with that in mind...
The South had units of Cavalry officially designated as Battalions, and I have heard the term used for the North also as I believe the North had some units...

Larry, I learned last week that the dates are June 8th -10th. They are still finalizing everything from what I understand. Doug [Non-text portions of this...
Gentlemen (and perhaps some Ladies), This battalion vs. regiment discussion was born from an email I sent trying to explain why we allow regiments to be broken...
Hi, The US Regular Infantry officially used Battalions, but of course additional companies could be added and companies could be subtracted, same for the...
Dean, First you are right in that most are amature historians when it comes to gaming. Many will never see the workings of the National Archives or the...

A past gamer friend of mine used to order microfilm from the NA concerning the DAK and Italians in Africa, and much of it was captured info. I have the Army OR...
That is nice about the NA in that one can order the Mf from them. I only hope one day we can get it all on CD. Then I can get rid of all my MF and save some...
Yeah, my friend had to buy a not inexpensive MF reader also, and that took up more space. CD's and DVD's are OK. Double-layer DVD's holding over 8GB of info. ...
