Tom, Interesting theories, no matter which way you look at it. I agree with you as regards Jeremy Brett...by far the "BEST" Holmes ever! Yr. Obt. Svt. G E...
I just read that Tom Clemens 624 page book will be out this summer, congratulations! It is now listed on Amazon.com. Looks like I will have to replace my two...
It will be a while, perhaps a year or more. Still working out kinks in Vol. I. Thanks for the kind words. ... I just read that Tom Clemens 624 page book will...
Larry,  I have nothing. I've been trying to find a picture of him for quite some time now. So far no luck. I did find him mentioned in one letter written...
Gerry. That's not actually Carmen... there was a computer game (forget the name) that used some Carmen text and appended the game OOB with the game's...
Gerry, The site mentions the game on the first page as the source of the text. "The latest Civil War computer game from Firaxis is Sid Meier's "Antietam";. Dean...
Dean, Thanks! However, I think our resident Carman experts might be able to weigh in on it also! Yr. Obt. Svt. G E "Gerry" Mayers To Be A Virginian, either by...
Dean, Actually the OOB is in itself an error. Most historians make the mistake of back dating the OOB for the ANVa to September; as I am sure you well know,...
... There is a lot of funny-business going on in there, certainly _not_ up to Gen. Carmen's standards ! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I would suggest you read Harsh's Taken at the Flood for ANVa strengths and also his companion volume Sounding the Shallows, before commenting on any funny...
Jake Pierro has many footnotes in his Appendix B of his Carman book for the OOB of the ANV which prove helpful. Likely Tom Clemens will also delve into the OOB...
... Gerry, I have and those OOBs are NOT Carmen's, they are Sid Miers'. Feel free to not take my word for it. Good day, sir. Dean [Non-text portions of this...
Dear Dean, That very well might be true. However, Harsh did develop an OOB for ANVa which is probably more accurate than anything else out there. Yr. Obt. Svt....
... No argument with Harsh, my comments have only been directed at the website's OOB. Harsh's work is the gold standard, only beat by Carmen himself. Unless...
Larry, Be as that may, I am hoping Tom Clemens will comment on the original post, since he is perhaps -- next to Jake Pierro -- the one most familiar with...
Dear Dean, Again, be as that may, I answered Larry's post about much the same thoughts. I would like much to hear what Tom "Carman" Clemens has to say about...
Dean, Something else you might find interesting... if you look at the OOB list given at the back of the Murfin book, I think you will find it pretty much...
... Not surprising, popular book available for a game designer to copy down. Compare it to the Carmen OOB in Pierro's book, that should convince you. [Non-text...
Gerry, having played this game years ago, the developers probably resorted to labeling troops "crack" or "green" based on their historical performance during...
I do not have Pierro's book here. If someone has a way (maybe a project for you, Brian???) to compare the two side by side, that would be an interesting...
Dear Dave, "Green" troops is an understandable quantification, since these would largely be the nine month and three year units hurriedly rushed to the AoP to...
Gerry, I don't disagree. But, for the folks playing the game, they would have a much better chance of having heard of the Iron Brigade rather than the 17 MI...
Joining this late, have been reading letters to Carman from the NYPL all afternoon. My favorite quote so far today is Heysinger called Capt. Means of the...
... By trail and error (using the Supplemental OR) I came to the same conclusion. Once cut down to the units available and less the ones being used as provost,...
Trying to find numbers of troopers in their saddles isn't easy so I decided to discount the numbers based on numbers mentioned during the campaign. It has...
Last installment of my Springfield trip: http://bullrunnings.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/springfield-il-part-vi-%e2%80%93-lincoln-tomb-and-miscellaneous-statuary/...
Lol! This question seems to come up again every six months or so. Those "color" designmations, as have been explained by others here, were the addition of the...
I just want to take the belated opportunity to congratulate Tom Clemens. I learned only yesterday that the first volume of HIS edition of the Carman manuscript...
