I first became aware of the ACW back in the early years of my university days (daze). The hook was Bruce Catton's three volume centennial series. I devoured that up like nobody's business.
Prior to that I have received as a gift a couple of the smaller GBCAW games from S&T magazine. Namely Wilson's Creek and Cedar Mountain. So while I was reading Catton I set up Cedar Mtn and was blown away. A little while later I picked up the TSR version of Terrible Swift Sword and I have not looked back ever since. It opened the door for me for love affair with pre-20th century games.
Yeah... good times.
I have kept pace with the GBCAW series, but since my solitaire play has been reduced thanks to VASSAL I have not played it for some time now. The last being a PBEM attempt with Mr Code Monkey and myself playing a scenario from Gringo, but we found that difficult due to the reaction and whatnot. I have some of the more recent CWBS games, including all three of the 7 Days titles. I really enjoyed playing For the People both FtF and PBEM and I think I have about three sessions of it under my belt. I have Battle Above the Clouds, but have not tried it or any of the other GCACW titles.
I too am looking forward to the new GMT game coming out. Should be intriguing.
