Longstreet at the club


Longstreet has finally reached our club and a group of devoted testers played their first game last weekend. The scenario was Henry House Hill and was published in WSS 56, a part in the battle of Bull Run. As if history repeats it self, the Confederation troops resisted a savage attack of the Union forces, inflicting a major defeat on the latter when the reinforcements of Colonel Jeb Stuart reached the field.

  1. Don't you mean "Col. Jeb 'Stonewall' Stuart"?

    Can you have two nicknames in your name?

    1. If you check the WSS nº 56, pag 43, the Reserve forces are leaded by the Col. JEB Stuart, 2/-/- cav bde.

  2. JEB = John Ewell Brown not, for example, Jebediah. Hence Jeb is a nickname (or acronym) and appropriating 'Stonewall' would give him a second nickname.

    1. James, his name was James Ewell Brown. Or "Jeb" Stuart.
      "Stonewall" was Thomas Jonathan Jackson.
