Well, after hearing that there was a Gettysburg game included in his 
unpublished Mine Run game (map size one page A4/Letter! Really drives home 
the scale of the system), I asked Hampton Newsome whether he wouldn't be 
interested in expanding this to a larger, fully operational map, as I'm 
not aware of Gettysburg having been done at this intermediate scale. He's 
not interested himself but he gave me permission to use the system if I 
wanted (just as have gave permission to use his brigade system to the 
Italian DTP company, TCS).  So (subject to all the other stuff that I'd to 
get out of the way first) there's still a chance to see some other topic 
in the series down the road.
