Commisar Moody,
It was suggested to me, recently, that if I wanted to get Americans into a game like BCW that I should suggest doing something similar on US soil with an inter-war 2nd ACW. Suggest this and see if that motivates your crew? You might just get some Rebel or Yankee spirits boiling at the concept of being able to slap a Confederate flag on the side of US panel trucks and such.
