You will need a red shirt too, of course, to be A.P. Hill.

I have all the stickers for II corps done. Do you need a US Corps doing chaps? I believe I have the men! I could also maybe do a US Cavalry corps. At least ready the stickers! Dave

Thanks Dave but Steve and I have the stickers sorted for the union; we may need a few stands and guns. I understand that you brought a segemented field at Warfare as did I so we could give them an outing. Terry

I have the troops all labelled up for Sykes V corps and have done the labels for Sedgwick VI corps (but do not have the figures).

How would you know if he was wearing any or not; mind you I suppose the box he needs to get on his horse could be a bit of a give away (sorry Martyn got a stinking cold and was just trying to cheer myself up a bit)

Steve, no thanks; but I shall of course be ensuring that the Confederate forces remain on the tactical defensive whatever the circumstances... as their general won't be able to reach them if they advance beyond the middle of the table !!
On a slightly more serious note, as some of you may know my wife is currently in hospital (in Kettering, though that's not especially relevant) with a bowel problem. Now, I have been working manfully behind the scenes to try and make sure that I can come along on Sunday, i.e. by arranging suitable child care for my daughter. Hopefully that is now sussed, but there is now some suggestion that Linda MAY be discharged from hospital this weekend.
Whilst I fully intend to take part on Sunday as planned, there is a POSSIBILITY that I may have to pull out with little or no notice, or get called away during the game to fetch her !
If that happens then I'm very sorry - but it can't be helped. If necessary general Ewell should assume command of the Army of Northern Virginia and see to the smiting of 'those people'.
Cheers Martyn

I would prefer it, general Ewell, if you brought our enemy beyond the point of our bayonet; right down to the hilt of the thing would be best, I think.

CONFEDERATE PLAN
1. Locate enemy 2. Engage Enemy in battle 3. Defeat enemy 4. March on Washington 5. Dictate peace terms
Corps Commanders will manoeuvre their troops at their discretion and in such a way as to give effect to the General's previously stated aims.
Ends
