Description:

I try to make the turns everyday, however, if I'm gone, I'll tell everyone
how long, and when I expect to return.

You email me and tell me what side you want to command, what type of unit
(Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery) and what you want your name to be. You will
command one Brigade of the unit you choose. You will be put under the
command of 1 division commander, 1 army commander and the president. You
follow orders first and foremost from the division commander, then the
army commander then the president.

This game will take approximately 15-30 minutes out of your day. You will
have to keep honest records of a) Your supplies, b) Your roster, c) Your
sicklist and hospital return rate and d) Your movement and location.

I will tell you when you arrive somewhere and what you see. When you move
you need to tell me about scouts, etc.

When there is a battle, anywhere in the game, the time slows down from 1
real day = 1 game day to 1 real day = 1/3 game day (morning, afternoon,
evening).

I hope you join. More details are on the gameplay webpage at:

Thanks!
Micah, Game GM
