Yes, I have read your note twice. And taking the chance of invoking someone's wrath again let me comment without going though a command chain.

This letter was received via the Canadian embassy to UPN offices. It is a letter of complaint addressed to the editor about Homer Newsworthy's reporting from Bowling Green, Ky. Namely the last Col Miserly story. It speaks for itself.

Sir;

First let me say thank you to Steve and the others who have been working on this game. Thank you for this and the work you do on NWOL.
I understand the need for play testing and debugging a new game concept and see that is what is being done here. I just have a couple of brief remarks on the problems I see with getting any American Civil War game simulation "right" or reflective of military issues in playing.

THE Bowling Green Front.

UPA correspondent Homer Newsworthy has filed this story from Bowling Green, Ky where the largest fight of the war in the west is forming up. An interview with "Fighting Joe Hooker".

Homer: General confederate forces have massed both north and south of Bowling Green, what do you make of this?
Hooker: I'd say they are lookin for a fight and we aim to give 'em one.
Homer: Do you have concerns for Bowling Green?
Hooker: I did when I arrived but not so much now.
Homer: How can that be?

UPA:
President Lincoln announces "Fighting Joe Hooker" named to spearhead coming invasion of Georgia.
Message sent to Congress reads as follows:
"In these days of rebellion and anarchy we are blessed to have a singular martial talent in place posed to strike a swift and terrible blow to the heart of insurgency.
Such a man, Joesph Hooker, General of the Union army is given carte blanche to gather forces and crush the enemy in his nest. The coming fall of Atlanta will break the confederacy in two and lead to a quick return to the union."
