Time for them to try again. I like a good slaughter. Perhaps Atlanta can burn again.
General John bell Hood, CSA, is actually the one who FIRST set fire to Atlanta, as he retreated out and abandoned the city in his care, he meant to destroy the ammunition and stores to keep them out of Yankee hands. Fire, however, has a tendency to spread, and back in 1864, fire codes and prevention were kinda low on the priority list. Made for one helluva Fourth of July in September though...
General Hood was both crippled (no leg, and one crippled arm) and toally zonked on painkillers (Laudanum)...I could easily see myself in his position. But judging from my Chess prowess, I'd have been a better strategist.
Cheers, Marse Bornyo.
