Newbie Question 2...

[Dan Caviness]

Thanks for the replies guys!

Careful Havoc...I may take you up on that offer...lol...

I seem to notice that most of you have "moved on" from the Battleground Series, and after playing half a dozen scenarios I have to admit, the game is rather limited tactically. Basically it appears a game of maneuver and learning some nuance as regards to ZOCs and capture.

It would be nice to access the Help Menus and Scenario Notes I believe, especially if fire tables and movement tables are included. I've been creating these the "hard way" by taking notes...

Not complaining mind you, as a long time CS (WWII) fanatic it has been fun to smell the blackpowder once again...still...

What I was hoping for was something closer to my old boardgame "Terrible Swift Sword" which had a lot more nuance and subtlety, or better put, was more complex.

Would you guys recommend trying the HPS ACW?
Is that the "go to" game for the blackpowder crowd these days?

Hopefully this doesn't stir up a hornets nest of "this one's better" but if so let the bullets fly in good nature please...

Again, thanks to all who replied.
I get the feeling I'm WAAAAAYY behind the curve here...

Regards,

Dan
