Sid Meier's Gettysburg is a classic, that's for sure.<br /><br />The 12th Illinois were dismounted when they made contact. They mounted up and charged the enemy even when cavalry charges come at a great cost for them. That's why I found this a bit amusing.<br /><br />Cheers,JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770262108283393835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-21767080156701869112010-10-19T17:27:25.621-04:002010-10-19T17:27:25.621-04:00Thanks for a fine article.

Tempts me to re-install Sid Meier's Gettysburg which I think is better and loved.<br /><br />"And boy, if there was a well spirited unit in my command that was the 12th Illinois ... Not happy with shooting, they mounted up and charged the Confederates!"<br />Eh...?<br /><br />And towards your final sentence, how should you have fought this battle, and is that because of how the game engine handles things?Singleton Mosbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094277404308673284noreply@blogger.com
