Re: Chancellorsville Battlefield Photos

Those artillery lunettes are so nice in part because only 80 years ago or so, the CCC went in and piled more dirt on them. They did it to better portray the positions at the time of the battle- but from a preservation point of view...

Re: The (First) Iron Brigade, First Division, First Corps, Army of the Potomac

Gibbon's Brigade will always be the Iron Brigade. They earned their moniker; the New York brigade... meh. Besides the 14th Brooklyn and the 2nd Sharpshooters, who has ever heard of the rest of those units? With Gibbon's men, those regiments will always have their place.

Re: The next Expansion

I hope it's 7 Days: I so want to play as Little Mac.

So who here agrees with me that Allan Pinkerton was a southern spy or at least a sympathizer?

Or was he really that bad?
He was terrible- fell for every trick in the book.

Re: Those rebs are'nt human

Worse of all I think is when playing an OOB, and you click a Federal regiment and they may be grades a 2 or 3, militia at best, yet they've been serving for say two years. And the Confederates all have 5 or 6.
