Some of us are clearly not reading the same papers.

"You mis-spelled Constitution" Yes.

"and American is capitalized................." Not necessarily.

RE: Concerns & Questions

You just have to like a bunch of folks who cheerfully expose their work to so much potential criticism, yet keep a cheery face and even say nice things like, "but making this an optional feature is a good idea, and is likely to be implemented by us. Thanks for the suggestion."

RE: Concerns & Questions

<t> This is all true but my point is that performance changed over time because of changes in leadership, and the mix of veteran vs. new soldiers within a brigade. Hardcoding elite brigades would subvert this. For those who want this sort of thing it should be an option, emphasis on option.<br ...

RE: Concerns & Questions

<t> Any chance of making this a selectable option. I, for one, find it more than a bit ahistorical based on the fact that some brigades (the common ones mentioned so far being the Stonewall and the Iron Brigades) performed well for about a year apiece. After that casualties and replacements reduced ...

RE: The end for Japan: Book review

The last paragraph sums up the validity of this review. I would also like to point out that the reviewer is a writer, not a historian. Whether or not the book reviewed has any merit as a work of responsible history cannot be determined from this review.
