What ACW title is played the most on pbem after Gettysburg? - Recognition - 03-31-2015 Hi Everyone, Ive got SB ToD and FWW and would really like to get a ACW title...but which one? My question is what ACW title is played the most on pbem after Gettysburg... Ive been thinking of getting Antietam, Peninsula or Overland. Ive got Gettysburg on Scourge of War...actually Antietam too. I just like the slower pace of JT`s titles in my older years lol. Cheers. RE: What ACW title is played the most on pbem after Gettysburg? - Compass Rose - 04-02-2015 You are more than welcome to scan through the scenario listings of each title to get a feel as to what is more popular and what is less popular, based on reported games however, keep in mind that a few years ago, we hosted a Gettysburg tournament, (since that is one of the most popular titles) so you will find the Gettysburg title having many more reported games against it, when compared to other titles. Also, a game like Corinth have been out for many years. Overland on the other hand, was just released a few years ago, so you will see alot more games of Corinth being reported, compared to the current total number of Overland games being reported. Every ACW title has small, medium, and large sized scenarios. Some scenarios have the Rebs attacking with the Union on the defensive, some scenarios have the Rebs defending and the Union on the attack, and other scenarios are designed as meeting engagements in which both sides have no predefined lines and the battle can take place almost anywhere the two opposing armies happen to "meet". I know you stated previously that you already own a Gettysburg title from another game series however, the HPS/JTS Gettysburg has a free add-on in which they advertise as being an extra 20,000 scenarios. This add-on can be found here:https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=61609 It is normal for us to always suggest to people who are brand new to the series to purchase a title that they enjoy as it will make the learning curve more enjoyable and not get hung up in "which title is everyone playing the most". You shouldn't have any problem finding an opponent, no matter which title you choose. 
RE: What ACW title is played the most on pbem after Gettysburg? - BigDuke66 - 04-02-2015 I checked that and here's a list ordered by the number of reported games: Gettysburg 299 Corinth 83 Ozark 73 Peninsula 73 Shiloh 62 Antietam 46 Franklin 38 Chickamauga 35 Atlanta 17 Vicksburg 16 Chancellorsville 10 Overland hasn't reported any games till now. Besides looking at the reported games I would suggest looking at the titles and see if there is anything that you're interested in. RE: What ACW title is played the most on pbem after Gettysburg? - Recognition - 04-02-2015 Thanks for the tips.. The trouble is I'm interested in all the campaigns lol....Might be able to get hold of Antietam / Peninsular ( Sure favorites ) but also considering Overland purely that its the latest title...but I guess there really isn't any difference. So its looking like I`ll go for Antietam or Pennisular Cheers |
