Greetings Mr. Hill, its been a while! And yet I see, always the voice of reason as usual! :)
Hey Rhett,
Pretty cool that you're related to ole Stonewall, but would you mind correcting all the references to West Virginia? If I were related to Stonewall, I'd want my documentation to be as...
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. I thought it was cool to capture with new pictures, the photographer taking 'old' pictures.
A.P., didn't you say you were an ancestor of H.J. Hunt in some way? I recall you mentioning something about being an ancestor of two prominent Artillery Generals, one from each side. This would be...
Nice post! I know very little of this topic, but figured I could provide some photos that my wife took while we were following the reenactment of A.P. Hill's march from Harper's Ferry to Sharpsburg....
Ah, thank you sir. There's a good chance I overlooked that detail in your original post.
Captain Johnson,
Will this be taking place on the NA Union Drill Camp server?
Greetings Knox and welcome to WoR's! My Civil War Confederate ancestors all came from and mustered in and around Highland County, just west/south-west of Rockingham. Monterey and McDowell, VA...
I have my Great Great Grand Father's original billfold (wallet) and his powder flask. The family oral history is that it's the billfold that he carried during his Civil War years and later (I've...
I'm normally down with most of what you represent here Poorlaggedman, but I have to provide a little information on the medical care and Union Army ambulance system, in respect to Antietam, as it is...
Hoooo Hooooo Hoooooo, Hurry up kid!!!!
I agree with your outlook Trusty, but you must admit, Kane's idea would likely put an immediate stop to it, if a faction took 6x the out-of-formation loss normally taken by any lesser soldier rank. ...
I remember a documentary that aired when I was younger called "The Divided Union", it's available on youtube also, in 5 parts. I'm not standing behind any historical accuracy of any of these, they...
Yes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
Hey Folks,
Nice article and book reference about Sharpshooters at Antietam, apparently derived from 4 diaries/memoirs of sharpshooters that were there. It's from May of this year. If you've seen...
That's pretty humorous!!! A cease fire event, followed by a skirmish! :) I'm sorry, I'm just poking fun, but that made me chuckle.
Here Here!!! Welcome Captain Destraex.
To the best of my knowledge, my math skills tells me that my post on 12/2 is prior to one labeled "yesterday" :) You cannot wait for someone to respond after my post and then say it's been...
There are quite a few past threads that discuss targeting, ballistics, how the targets work in drill camp versus skirmish server, etc. The dev team (unless recently changed) have stated that...
In case anyone was interested and didn't realize the date, the Annual Antietam Battlefield Illumination will be going on this evening starting at 1800 hours. No official charge, but contributions...
That is one HUGE uprooted tree!!! I think I've seen similar somewhere near the Confederate spawn point at Rohrbach's Bridge?
Actually, McMuffin, it would probably be useful if we used the drill camp to form a consolidated party that could then move to an agreed upon skirmish server. Might provide for a better way of...
3pm PT is actually 6pm ET, and I'd be interested more so after the family goes to bed, which would be between 9pm-10pm. So if 6pm-7pm worked for you Pacific time players, I'd be willing to log on...
With this all said, has anyone considered researching historically well-known bayonet charges compared to the number of prisoners taken for that particular battle, to see if bayonet charges results...
A.P., if the CSA had a 3 man advantage, that is why you could not play as the CSA. It's the select-screen forcing you to go to the side that is currently at the disadvantage. I think I remember...
