Thanks Terry 👍

Thank you very much

This series, the Blind Swords Series, and the Shattered Union Series are the ACW series I follow. I'm an audiobook person, but I love the book add in to the vid. I'll have to see if there is an audiobook of it. The simplicity of this game series makes it so accessible to new players. I view that as a major strength of this series.

I've tossed around the idea of having some sort of master sheet that showed each brigades starting strength point with numbered boxes you could check off as they suffered losses. Haven't tried it yet because I'm not sure I like the idea of having to find the brigade on the sheet each time they're in combat. But for people that don't mind some paperwork, it might be a solution to the fiddliness of the SP counters.

Not a bad idea Jason, something worth trying at least.

A really fun system, but a bit too simplistic for me (which is why I prefer Revolution’s Blind Sword series).

I get it Steve, you know I love Blind Swords. I'm starting to like this CWBBS system the more I play it as a good alternative when looking for a much simpler game. Or, to be honest, if I wanted to teach a hex and counter game to someone new to them.

@@WayneHansen Good point, Worthington’s series would be ideal for an introductory wargame for those interested.

Those are the two series I'm following now. Worthington's ACW Brigade Series and Blind Swords. Oh, and the Shattered Union Series too.

Counters look poorly cut.

Time to get those eyes checked Mike, the counters are cut fine.

@@WayneHansen 4:50 Do those counters look cut correctly to you? They look decidedly off-center to me. (losing the C in Chalmer and the J in Jackson)

lots of extra space on the right side of the counter; but still functional of course

Yep, they look just fine. The leader names are certainly at the edge of the counter, but nothing is lost like you say, and you can see the artwork and numbers are centered. The counters are spot on 👍
