Guys,

I'm so impressed with Bull Run that I've decided to create a new fan
website to host mods for it. The website is a little basic right now
but the first mods will be added this afternoon after work. I'll
refine it over the next few days and it will be ready to roll. If you
want to take a look it's at:

http://www.brettschulte.net/MMGACW/

If anybody has the game and is making mods, feel free to send them my
way and I'll make sure they get posted.

Also, if anybody hasn't yet, make sure you go check out the Mad Minute
Games forums. There is a ton of good info over there. It's at:

http://www.madminutegames.com/MadMinuteBB/index.php

P.S. Eddy, I'm following your suggestion to not be so modest on this
one, as opposed to my HPS ACW fan site. ;-)

202 visitors already - told you that advertising works :)

CD has arrived - looks like I'll have some playtime this weekend so I'm
definitely going to post something about it in the near future.

Something tells me you're an ACW nutter :) - wait 'till Grigsby
releases the ACW game based on the WaW engine. Oh, and Frank Hunter is
working on Sumter to Appomatox II. Better start working on these
fan-sites as well, that way you'll have a head start over the
competition :)

Greetz,

No doubt. Thanks for the tip. ;-)

I hope you have the house all to yourself. This thing is kind of
addictive. And the really cool part (besides the couriers, did I
mention this game has couriers to deliver ordeers?) is that no scenario
ever plays the same way twice. I love that about the AI in this game.
I admit I've seen the AI do a few strange things the higher up in
command you go, but it is far better than SMG and SMA in that regard
IMHO.

You are correct sir! I tend to be interested in pretty much any era of
military history at least a little bit, but I've been reading about the
Civil War since the age of six. I have my Uncle and my local
Elementary school library to thank for that. I know. I have tended to
enjoy many of Grigsby's past efforts, and I'm sure that one will be no
different. I played the first Sumter to Appomattox for a long time,
but there were just too many bugs for me to really love it. However, I
am a fan of what Mr. Hunter is trying to do so I know I'll be buying
STA II if and when it comes out. And you're right, now that I have
lots of web space, I'm sure I'll use it to promote any ACW games I can.
Us Civil War gamers need help. For too long there's been a shortage
of good games out there. I'm hoping that changes.

Well, we probably need help in other ways too... ;-)

Eddy,

Thanks for the link. It looks like Rich Hamilton already took Don up
on his offer. He'll take care of business as far as HPS goes I'm
sure. I've got the main page at warfareHQ bookmarked, so I'll have to
check back when they get everything set up.

I have only fiddled with this game a bit. I know a bit about games. This
one is a keeper....
