You'll need to reposition the artillery.

Nope, thats where the Chattanooga Police department want them when he moves in.

Maintaining the police dept crews for them will eat into local taxes...

Where else would I have to trim around a couple of cannon while doing my front lawn.

I'm sure at some point my son would try to fire one off.

But is this particular house in Chattanooga or East Ridge? :whistle:

As long as the cannons come with the house lol but I'd live in it anyways.

I'm curious - the cannons that dot so many ACW preserved battlefields as monuments - how original are they? I would have thought the wooden carriages would have long rotted away and I'm presuming all the woodwork is modern, with just the barrels and some of the ironworks being original.

Most were put in during the 100th anniversary of the war. On some cannons at Gettysburg in particular, you can find stamps showing they were made in Italy. Behind the PA mounument in G-burg is where the Park Service repairs and maintains all of the cannons in a big warehouse.

I can't speak for all NPS battlefields, but at Gettysburg the carriages are metal reproductions. They are currently well along being refurbished (repaired/repainted). Most of the tubes are original but there are some reproduction tubes on the field.

Here's a follow up to the posts about the artillery pieces currently on display around the Gettysburg battlefield. Specifically, an archived Gettysburg Daily article about the cannon restoration shop, part 1. Gettysburg Daily may be no more, but it still has good information archived.

HOI3 is great. I have all versions and played it for a full year. Absolutely love it.

As for SOW releases, I'd buy any one made to be honest, unless they didn't actually happen (like I have no interest in Pipe's Creek).

Being that my ancestors all fought in the Army of Mississippi and Army of Tennessee I would love to see Shiloh, Vicksburg Campaign, Franklin and Nashville, Atlanta campaign and so on. Really, you make it and you can count on my money being there.
