A...I'm finding the end game quite interesting.<br /><br />As for replay. The answer is definitely yes. Only drawback is that it is a big undertaking. I find the blogging helps me keep track of what's going on.<br /><br />The subtle changes to the rules make for a different game.<br /><br />Losses of leaders, would change play as would the race to secure various advantages. But the way the victory points are structured, along with the map and troop numbers it is going to play out very historically.<br /><br />In my game I have not used the Union navy to full advantage, I also failed to make a grab for New Orleans early on (although that is problematic given Confederate foresight). The big event that cost the Confederates the game was probably Lee's death and the loss of his army - it was so close to winning.<br /><br />So in a few years time, I would hope to play again. At that time I would read another ACW history book as well, as that made for added enjoyment. Of course I would blog the game too, as that also also been a source of fun and enabled engagement with others such as yourself, for which I thank you, and other readers, who have taken an interest in these posts.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-937429195011941972018-01-03T12:27:34.217+08:002018-01-03T12:27:34.217+08:00Thanks.

In fact I am enjoying how the end game is playing out.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-15832849374562512202018-01-03T05:59:59.489+08:002018-01-03T05:59:59.489+08:00Great report!

I appreciate your effort and devotion for seeing the War through to this point. Having played it through and seen the inevitable conclusion, does the campaign game hold much replay value?Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
