What better place to play a civil warthemed game than the flatlands of Virginia , the place where the war came to its violent and bloody climax ? Cousins Skyline in Strasburg , VA , which was home to this year ’ s home to CPX Legendary Events ’ season opener , is about 100 north from both historic Appomattox and Antietam , but it provided the inspiration and a proper backdrop for Urban Legends North v South : The Return .
The three-day event was held in the dreary days of February 21-23 , but suffered a bit at the hands of the chronically unreliable MidAtlantic winter . Henny “ Moneybags ” DaBoss of Timber Ghosts was tagged as the blue general and commander of The Union army , and said that he really didn ’ t have to do much recruiting for the event as his network brings so many teams , and he was not wrong .
With the weatherman predicting up to 12 inches of snow that week , many players waited to make a game day decision about attendance , including the red general . Mike “ Whitey ” White of 13th Legionairres was tagged on Tuesday the week of the event , a mere four days before it popped off , to step up and fill in as the Conferate commander . That move not only affected the leadership , but it would dramatically affect the field of competition as well .
“ We had originally committed to play with Henny ,” Whitey said , “ But my team comes with me , so that was a start . Then I tagged Moose from [ Angelic ] Rage , made him my XO , and made him flip too .”
