I'm going to try to play #Battletech solo using the Campaign Operations rules, random force generation, and maybe integrating RPG rules. I will try to do so limiting use of any online resource or providing the offline equivalent where possible.

Let's talk about Sherman posting and why it worries me (I know few will read this, but it still needs to be said). A bunch of lefties have been posting Civil War memes identifying with the Union, but more specifically with garbage human being, William Tecumseh Sherman.

Now, we have a whole nation of Shermans who, out in the open for all to see, salivate at the idea of the mass slaughter of their own countrymen (not by them, of course, because they're not peasants). I don't see a good end to this. Be prepared to protect the ones you love.

The war was so unpopular that Lincoln had to arrest critics, including the entire Maryland legislature, to keep the Union from falling apart. The deadliest riot in US history was an anti-draft riot in NYC that Lincoln put down with military force.

He was so brutal that he and Sheridan were tapped based solely on their scorched earth campaigns against civilians to bring the natives to heel. It was *his* policy to drive the buffalo to extinction and also to negotiate a truce, then violate it as soon as the Indians disarmed.

Sherman's memoirs are among the most stomach turning reading material one can find. He enjoyed the slaughter, probably pent up frustration at his prior losses, but his wife was *sexually aroused* by the thought of a full Southern genocide, down to the last child.

Even with this much raw force, he nearly lost the 1864 election to a guy who promised a peace treaty with the South. General Grant, who secured the Mississippi and finally won enough victories in the east, had great respect for Lee and despised the bloodshed,

The first thing to keep in mind is that most people at the time did *not* want to fight in said war, but they saw no option. Union soldiers were walking the streets of Charleston as guests the day before the Sumter, and were as shocked as the Confederates at what followed.

Having gained an upper hand, handily outnumbering all troops in the area, Sherman went on vengeful tear across the South, slaughtering civilians and starving women and children. Not one CSA officer surrendered to him until word got out that Grant beat Lee, but...

Then comes Sherman. Despite what you're taught in school, he had nothing to do with the South surrendering. His only contribution was taking Atlanta, which may be all that saved Lincoln's 1864 bid. Prior to that, he was an abject failure who nearly cost Grant the West.

...to the point of regretting military moves he made because of how many men died on both sides. The general tenor of the soldiers fighting was reconciliation and camaraderie. Punitive measures were, for the most part, imposed by civilians who knew nothing of bloodshed.

Lincoln was told reinforcing a fort promised to SC would start a war. It's what he wanted, to the point of having ships with invasion orders already in transit before the first shot was fired. Fearing being conquered and all that comes with that, the CSA raised an army.
