BT Wrote: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.

Bill,
I'll pbem you any BG ACW game- have them all(and the Nappys too for that matter)...I need to get out of bootcamp; assuming you have a slot open...Let me know, all of your preferences are fine. I'll have to install and patch up to 32...might need some info to get 'er done too, been out of touch with BG for some time, and ran into install issues a year or so back when I attempted to do it. Have a different 'puter now though, so maybe things will go better :)
