Thanks to Gil for moving this labour of love to the main page.
I should point out that this game was started in Febuary 2007, and therefore is an older version of the game. so if theirs anything odd going on, then I may well be fixed by now. so sit back, and enjoy.

Right, I suppose i better say something.

This is the counterpart to my Union game, this time I'm playing the confederates. the difficulty is First Sargent, its the coming fury scenario, and i think I've bitten off a little more than I can chew.

as you can see, theres substantially more work involved here, and your going to see less of the mechanics behind the game. but it's going to be more of a story for you. I've put some stats up, so you can follow things, but I'm never going to put the governors rating down, or anything like that.

I hope you enjoy, and remeber, this is going to take time, I'm commited to filling at least a page a turn, so this could turn into a VERY long AAR - if not in game time, then in real time, its taking about 30 mins a page at the moment.

I should add that, having done some newspaper layout back on my college paper, I can appreciate how difficult it must be to get everything to fit on a single page, and formatted correctly.

I hope this isn't taking you away from anything important, like curing cancer or whatever your day job might be...

Actually, thats just my Dyslexia and a lack of a spellchecker in Photoshop.

but then again, If lincon can't spell, then why should it bother me. :)
