Off topic, but thought I'd say that I've found this discussion to be a lot of fun. Polite, respectful, and well-reasoned all around. I'd be honored to have
either of you as a PBEM opponent, or as a partner in a team game anytime.

Just a note for anyone playing the massive 1300+ turn scenario in Overland, you need to be sure and read the notes file specifically for that scenario to understand what the designer had in mind. Just playing it as a normal scenario definitely wont work. The file is included in the |manuals folder, but I am attaching it here as well.

There’s few reviews (one?) to be found on Campaign Overland but a recent YouTube video on the ACWGC channel was helpful.

Overland is mentioned in episode 1:

A Game and a Chair - Episode 1 - Top 10 Games


A Game and a Chair - Episode 2 - Top 10 Games



I doubt it will happen, but maybe WDS can revisit Overland?
Cool Stuff, I just watch it.

As for not including Harper's Ferry, I have no good answer, but I totally agree. In fact, I was just there in person last month. It would have made a good small addition. Unfortunately, I have too many things going on to revisit it. And thanks for playing and I love that you picked Antietam as your #1. :D
