Lee wets himself, aka Grant Takes Command

No Kill.  Kill.  Kill. ???

There was relatively little killing for either of us.  The only notable attacks were when Longstreet and Lee combined several units to assault and effectively cripple an entire division and several other, smaller engagements in which Sheridan's cavalry routed Stuart's beleaguered forces.

Unfortunately for the game, it just doesn't make sense for anyone to really attack all that much--the CSA certainly can't afford a real offensive going awry for fear of losing their entire army while the Union forces can't get decent DRMs without their offensive devolving to a meat-grinder.

So, we both turned to maneuver...which turned into entrenchment, then back to maneuver.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

In hindsight, though, I was wary about playing this particular game in the series.  It's fairly universally-panned amongst the die-hards for not being the greatest use of the system's abilities.  We're going to give it (the system) another shot when Battle Above the Clouds is released some time this month.  Ed Beach designed that one and we generally trust his skills at game design and balance (and fun), so we'll see.

So, the game was a lot like that front in the actual war?

Don't be a pussy, just hammer the ANV until it breaks.
