Reporting for duty

[Duncan R.]

Greetings Union comrades.
I'm brand new here and playing my academy scenario.
Hm... I'm 55 and have been gaming since the late late 70s. I was the match coordinator for AHIKS until recently.
I have played computer war games for almost 30 years. JTS games for perhaps the last two, but I'm not very good at them.
Happy to be here.

Duncan

[David Danner]

Welcome sir. Have some great fun and keep a string on your greenbacks.

[S. Eichelberger]

Welcome, Cadet Rice! Glad to have you join with us, Duncan. Given your Avalon Hill experience, you will have no trouble fitting in as a ACWGC member and finding good friends to battle against in JTS games. We wish you all the best, and especially great success against our worthy foes south of the Mason-Dixon. <Salute>

Welcome to the Union Army, Cadet Rice, we're delighted to have you aboard to help us begin another great year. I believe most of us probably descended from Avalon Hill, too, so you will find plenty of brothers in arms here!

I will be looking forward to your graduation when you will be qualified for your first battle! At that time, with your permission, we will see if we can find a newly hatched rebel and set you up in a relatively even match which we call the Lieutenant's Cup! It's our way of helping to get our people started on the battlefield.

As I take drinking as a Sober responsibility, may I hoist the first round to your health? I always take the opportunity to be more responsible!

Your servant,

Welcome aboard.

[C. Hecht]

Welcome to the ACWGC and to the Union!

[R. Sickbert]

Welcome Sir. The Club and the Union side can use good men such as yourself. There is fun to be had.

[L. Newell]

Welcome to the club and the union

[Walt Dortch]

Welcome Duncan!

[Duncan R.]

Thanks gents.
I'm looking forward to going deeper into this game and the history of the ACW.
