The Prussian Officer I mentioned was a observer with McClellan during the Peninsula Campgain. Capt. William Heine who served as a topographical Engineer on the 3rd Corps staff.

Damn.......I forgot too mention those poor 2nd USSS boys. They were stuck way out there in front of DD and LRT. Bastards never had a chance........sent 2 Regiments to show them the 'Black Flag'; they broke, started running and ended up showing a third Regiment coming on their right flank the 'White Flag'.

I'm pretty sure at this point that some Union troops might need a little encouragement in their staying ability. It sounds like they are all green and the rebs are all veteran. Maybe a little tweaking somewhere?

"You call yourselves Americans, but you're really just transplanted Englishmen. Look at your names: Lee, Hood, Longstreet, Jackson, Stuart...
And the same for your adversaries: Meade, Hooker, Hancock, and - shall I say - Lincoln! The same God, same language, same culture and history, same songs, stories, legends, myths - different dreams. Different dreams. So very sad."
