The condictions are set up from the outset of the game... In other words the teams are allowed to select form a list and then work toward it. In on game conducting a certain amount of raiding was one them. I can send along some old newspapers if you are interesting in them.

Not being familar with NWOL, I'm not sure if you can be an army or smaller unit commander, cavalry etc or if the game is simply strategic in nature or tactical. Clarification?

The scale is something of a hybrid. In my estimation it would be 75% Strategic and 25% Tactical. The commanders are usually at the very least Division and Squadron level. The units are grouped as brigades with individual named regiments in each brigade. Trains and transports are represented as well.

Currents might be important around New Orleans and coastal cities. Not sure how they would play out on the Mississippi itself as it simply flows south. Navigating up pass the river forts or down for that matter will shold be tricky.

thanks for the info........
