A communique from Lt. Gen. Pat Thompson (VIII Corps Cmdr):
Have started game with BG Rick Martin, ANV. Slow start, he was on vacation for a while. Playing Chickamaugascenario 87 I think, Battle for Kentucky.
No objective hexes, just a straight battle. We got involved in the city of Frankfort and I've wiped out a couple of his cavalry regiments. Infantry can melee mounted cavalry if the cav are disrupted and isolated...
Up to a minor victory so far in 5 of 40 turns.
Game registered.
Pat

Update on battle...
Up to turn 10 now... and up to a Union Major level victory... and pulling away.
Controlling the hill above Frankfort now and getting some guns up there.
I have a "D" level division, the 10th, now fighting through the woods south of that hill, got the height advantage there also.
Will continue reports at 5 turn intervals.

Re: First Report from the battlefields of the Summer Offensi
It certainly looks like a reb general to me. Why don't you post it in the MDT and ask "Can you guess this famous Southern General's name? That ought to get a rise out of Blake!:)
