Not sure how this game wasn't on my radar, but I recently purchased it on Steam based on a suggestion from Reddit. I am a sucker for orders of battle and troop formations, which made this game definitely stand out. While I have not played this scenario, I was checking out the American Revolution one and, recently reading a lot about the Loyalists, thought it was cool to see those regiments out there.

Although I did get my BA in History many years ago, I wouldn't say I am much more than a history buff. I guess I can still can write a long and well-researched email at work that most probably don't have the time or inclination to read through! :)

While I enjoy war gaming, I cannot say I have ever been very good at it. That said, I am looking to change that or at least get better at this game.

Looking forward to being part of this community and learning more about the game.

Welcome home dude. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We love to answer questions. Some questions get asked more than once but that's okie dokie. Mind if I ask you a question? See, that's how easy it is.
