Well Millander, this is interesting news. You've been one of the most prominent North American commanders for as long as imaginably possible, it seems, and I can't help but mention your YouTube videos of Mount & Musket that helped persuade me into buying Napoleonic Wars. My first real encounter with you guys was in North and South, meaning I was late to the party. I still remember the Saturday Linebattle pre-battle meetings, where you would greet me weekly with "Well, well, well, if it isn't
Elmer-
Ephraim-
Ellsworth!" Hearing that made me genuinely laugh every time. 33rdVA and 11thNY were probably the biggest North American NaS regiments of their time, and it was great having battles with and against you. From there, I remember fighting alongside you and the 1stFKI every week at Cop's Siege event, where 93rd and 1stFKI would make many-a-charge together. As an aspiring leader then, I looked up to the 1stFKI, hoping to one day reach that success with, for what I personally saw at the time, groundbreaking numbers.
Anyway, what happened from there I can't explain. It's a shame that we never ended up being on good terms, and for whichever reasons, I'm still ignorant of, and if appropriate, I apologize for that ignorance. I can't think of a way to otherwise explain my opinion on that with this picture, which if it breaks forum-rules in your opinion, Millander, I'll have it removed, but it's mostly appraisal regardless.
Have a great school year, fellow upcoming senior, and I'll catch you on the flip.
