Getting Started: excited & confused

[bstarr]

I'm so excited. This game actually works. I've been a student of the Civil War all of my life and before I started my current hobby (writing) I tried my hand at creating a monster ACW boardgame (I'm a counter-pusher from way back). That experience left me with the opinion that the ACW was too complex to be done as a realistic wargame on the strategic level. Flash forward about ten years and it seems that someone has done just that.

Now I want to try modding. I just wish I could find my old notes.

(okay, enough excited jabbering) I'm not really adept at using a database, but I've figured out how to alter the numbers. I just don't know what these numbers mean. Right now all I'm really wanting to do is change the entry dates (and exit dates) of several of the leaders and tinker with the ratings. And maybe change a few leaders' special abilities.

Where do I start!?

What do I do!?

Should I switch to decaf!?

Hehe...you are going to have fun!
