"Union infantry regiments carried two colours, a regimental and a national." --Wargaming in History, Paul Stevenson, pg. 20 Regimental flags, not state flags....
I did run across this little tidbit on Pennsyvannia Regiments: During the Civil War, many Pennsylvania regiments carried a modified version of the Stars and...
If you look carefully in the movie Gettsburg, just as the scout looks at the Federal infantry column at the start of the movie, you'll see exactly that. I...
I have added a message on johnnycon@yahoogroups pertaining to cost of the convention. Comments are sought within the next week so that I can finalize...
Thanks, for the Pennsylvania tip. Didn't know that. Many New Jersey regiments did a similar thing with their state coat of arms, as can be seen at the...
Hey guys, I ran a JR game this weekend, my first time with the rules since Johnny Con 1! I have a question or two. When handling charges, we used PJ's chart....
Under old JR2 rules, you could charge no more than twice in two consecutive turns,and i think the 2nd charge was w/o elan bonus. **************Biggest Grammy...
Hi Andy; Don't have the chart in front of me but here goes- It's just one charge, no matter how many targets you hit. Each defender gets a charge volley with...
I have been having a terrible time with this site does anyone use this company? i have to send 2-3 emails before getting any information. Then i call and get a...
Hey P.J., The charts worked pretty well. I thought we were doing things correctly, and see that we were, that's nice to know! I did have one further question...
Over the years I have had better luck calling than e-mailing Gradiosity. I've been fortunate to never have anything backordered. But, their shipping has...
Does this post actually MEAN anything? Please at least attach the question you are answering to your reply! ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
I assume this was in response to my question about charge resolution, which I accidentally failed to change the title of, so the original question is under the...
Hi Andy; I think it is in the rules but probably not where expected- Every time I re-read the rules I find something new. In a charge on charge, the attacker...
Thanks, i need to re-read again, as I also pick something out of them that I forgot from the prior reading. What we did was call the attacker the regiment...
I'm having the same problem but mine is worse I haven't gotten my order in over a month. Which this sucks alot lol Called and everything! Just makes me mad...
Wow--"usual suspects"--you are referring to the same unit that was eventually rolled into Hood's/Wofford's Texas Brigade with ~75 men at Antietam, correct?...
I will give you one to cause you to stop and think. I was recruited years go to join the 116th Infantry Regiment of the Virginia National Guard. I did not do...
Page 15, Regimental Skirmishers, "Fire Effects", states that "All casualties from frontal fire are logged against the skirmisher stand with the skirmishing...
Define "unit." Do you mean arty fire agasint the skirmisher stand or the parent regiment? **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL...
Seems nobody cares for the unsung Regulars (sniff). Their units were always understrength compared to those large volunteer regiments. DId you they were...
I'm not sure why people compare the two. They operated under entirely seperate roles in seperate theaters. Forrest was a raider, Stuart a cavalry officer....
Would be interested to hear an elaboration of the Forrest as the precursor to blitzkrieg argument or a campaign citation. I agree with the points about Stuart....
Well, there will be Stuart fans, and there will be Forrest fans, and I am one of the latter. IMHO, there are few American commanders that have ever matched the...
Thanks, for the recommendation. Robert Selph Henry looks to be an excellent historian from the old school, who has a number of interesting studies. I think...
Well, arty fire vs the skirmisher stand is treated like any other skirmisher unit, IMO. I would rule that any Arty fire agsint the parent unit that passes...
Rommel once said that he would rather have a company at a spot today that a battalion there tomorrow. A Forrest "first with a most" reference. Forrest "so...
Careful study of Forrest's campaigns will reveal that he overcame many, many more obstacles to form his various commands than Stuart ever had to overcome....
