[SIZE="3"]As told by various participants[/size]
Confederate Capitol building, Richmond Va.

[INDENT]This AAR will attempt to tell the story of our Grand Civil War Campaign as lived by various historical and fictional characters involved. It will rely heavily on the use of fictional war journals, diary entries, personal correspondence, official documents and 3rd person observations of these characters. While I will attempt to be as historically accurate as possible, there will be many instances where I will get names, dates or events wrong. My apologies if I offend you Civil War scholars out there. I will also take poetic license from time to time in the interest of writing as entertaining an AAR as I can.
This thread will not be about the battlefield, although I will discuss major engagements and there impact on our overall strategy. That part will be left up to my esteemed Generals. Instead I will focus primarily on the the political and economic side of the game and my use and choice of screenshots will reflect this.
At the end of every entry I will have a section that deals with my thoughts about the game and its overall progress. This section will not be roleplay and I will attempt to convey my impressions and give you an idea of the "big picture" as best I can. Please, ask questions and make suggestions.
As I final note I would like to extend a huge thanks to lightsfantastic who graciously allowed me to use many of his ideas and gave me some great tips about image resolution and utilizing the post tools. If you have not read it yet, his AAR in the BoA forum is wonderful and you owe it to yourself to check it out.
Hope you enjoy the Grand Campaign,
