Ok is that really fair to have a ringer answer the question? Im sure Pete could answer that in his sleep. I know one of my professors at Auburn could draw just about every battle map- w/ OOB and each units location from memory.

Let me say with sincere humility, if you Auburn professor could do that from memory, he ranks way ahead of me.

Ringer? About dug relics, maybe. Not so much about civil war units. The questiom was posted on Tuesday, today is Thursday. A ringer wouldn't have waited two days to speak up. ;-)

In truth, I reseached 50TENNCSA's qustion simply because nobody had answered it and I didn't want him to feel ignored.
