I have been busy with map merging and making tools for use in a proposed ACW theater level campaign system.
So far the map seems to be in order ...

| based on merging two era maps each hex is approximately 6 miles across or one day's march for infantry |
I wanted something that could be used in a larger context and needed to really cover the whole of the big battles of the American Civil War eastern seaboard theater.
This way we can work from the 'known' of the era as the maps would have been shown to the commanders of the time.
More tools need to be designed for the command functions and some play-testing to see what else might be missing.
My aim is to be ready to run a campaign game of 1863, post Chancellorsville, with the intention to generate a large field battle (the history led to Gettysburg) which could be put on over a weekend this coming July.
Those of you who have game'd in my 1813 and Waterloo set-ups know what fun and tension can be generated.
Watch for recruiting in the near future.
