I'm blown away by the battle books that BaB has provided. Most games have historical notes but you've gone a step beyond. If you keep doing this they will comprise a Civil War library of sorts. Congrats to Bill Battle. Is that a pen name, somebody on the BaB staff, or Matrix?

gwgardner,
I can assure you that's my real name. I used to take all kinds of heat for it when I was in military school!
Thanks,
Bill Battle

just did a quick look over of one of those books, they are great. For someone who isn't up on all the details of the battles those books should defiantly add some education and flavor, thank you sir.

Not only is Bill Battle a real person, but also those young women in his avatar were not added with Photoshop.
