EMIRS Longstreet campaign Kicks off

The EMIRs Longstreet Campaign kicked on Sep 1861 with a six player First Battle of Bull Run. We will run it as a Three Brigade per side Campaign. Each Brigade is eligible to be used by any club member though members should remain on the faction they so choose.

So no-one gets overly attached to “their” brigade... members can do a maximum of 3 stints in a row with the same Brigade before being forced to rotate... you can rotate back later.To be eligible to win the campaign you need to command each Brigade at some point. No Brigade can push into a new year until all Brigades have completed the previous year.
