I want Virtual General, but I have questions.

(See the Matrix front page if you haven't already.)

What will be the scenarios? Will I be able to play either side? What level general? Brigade, division, corps, army? Will it just be individual scenarios, or will there be a full Civil War campaign? Will you be able to be promoted for superb performance in battle? Will I be able to go home on leave and enjoy the more compelling points of married life, or of a courtship with that young lady who has been waiting on me back home? Or maybe just a warm campfire and a tent with the guys?

I also have some suggestions. Why not start the game at the mobilization at the beginning of the war? I want to raise my own regiment and lead my neighbors into battle. Why not an option to start at a lower rank, even in the enlisted ranks, and work my way to the top?

And what about DLCs? Naval warfare. Command an ironclad, a river gunboat, a blockade runner. A Confederate commerce raider or a Union steam frigate.

I am so psyched by this. Thank you, Matrix.

Oh, yes, I know what the date is.

It's more a rogue-like. You see how many battles you can win before succumbing to syphilis.

I knew the warm fire and tent with the guys was a bad idea.
