The U. S. Civil War
Published by GMT Games, LLC
Vassal module 1.16
This will be a series of 1 Game Turn per video. I am using the Vassal Logs to step through the turns and commenting on Actions, Decision, and mind set. I am liberally writing myself notes in the Vassal Log file so you can see what I was thinking (even if I can't spell well for some reason).
Hopefully I don't "mess up" the rules, I have been checking the Rule books as I play and thus it takes me about 40 to 90 minutes to make a video, but 2-3 hours to play a turn as I keep trying to get the rules right.
If you see Rules errors in my video please comment right away with issue. I am trying to build the Videos in "sets" so I will play one or two turns, then make a video, post it then play another, etc. So After the first set of 3 (1861), They will probably come out 1-2 per week
