If I am not mistaken, that is where the term "foot Calvary" came from.
Jackson's flanking move was, and still is, studied as a war of movement action. Hooker's plan was actually quite good, he used deceptive methods to confuse the rebs on his intentions, positioned his troops superbly, he was in a position to hand Lee a serious defeat. He was a hard drinking man who stopped drinking at the start of the battle; he then lost his nerve, panicked, and fled his superior position. Perhaps he should have never stopped drinking.

I should of been more specific in what i was talking about. I was refering to his abilities as in comparison to the other early war union generals that were flops. General such as McClellan and Burnside were much worse in their mistakes than Hooker. The failure to win the day at Anteitam with its disasterous bridge attack that should of never been allowed to go in & the stupidity of Fredricksburg come to mind. Yes its true that Hooker was no Grant or Sherman, but he wasnt a Ewell or Burnside either. Just my .02 cents.

To add to my thoughts...
I own WWII games, I have HPS Sims Napoleons Russian Campaign, and I have HPS Sims Gettysburg. I also own HPS Sims Modern Campaigns North German Plain 85 and Korea 85. I also own HPS Sims Squad Battles Tour of Duty which is a vietnam era tactical game. I also play Midieval Total War. Age of Empires is fun too..If not a tad bit obsolete.
So to answer you question. I like fighting in many era's!
