Thinking of Joining Ladder

[Askari19]

Michael,

I've been playing BG exclusively since I joined this ladder... recently bought a couple of the HPS titles but haven't had time to break them in, so can't comment on them. I'm very happy with the (fully patched, 32-bit) BG games and recommend Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and Bull Run most highly... haven't PBEM'd Shiloh yet... and have steered clear of Antietam as a straightforward bloodbath, which may not be fair.

I've owned the BG series since they were first released, so my loyalty is largely based on familiarity. If the system's a good one, I like playing one I know so that I'm flummoxed by my opponents, or by my own poor decision-making, vs. being sandbagged by the rules & mechanics of a less familiar system... as you might have guessed from my recent EF angst.
