The brigade would be, without a doubt, Solomon Meredith's Iron Brigade.

At the divisional level, I have an affinity for John Buford's boys. I remain convinced that his eye for the terrain at Gettysburg and perseverance in holding out for reinforcements allowed the Union to seize and control the critical high ground that won them the battle.

For the Confederates, I'd take Kershaw's brigade in a heartbeat, and Hood's division.

Confederate side - Wright's GA Brigade - what if...they had received support after they pierced the union center on July 2? Maybe I'll find out soon :)

Federal side - whatever brigade the 1st MN was in

I'll help you exploit that break. I could play Carnot Posey's Mississippi brigade that never really got in on the attack. Posey was born and raised a state line and county north of me, as were Harry T. Hays and Jefferson F. Davis (raised at least).

You got a deal. I can understand Posey's situation with the Bliss Farm and providing limited support but it was Mahone that should have brought his brigade up to lend a hand.

You're right. I knew Posey's Brigade wasn't the only one. I just knew he was nearby and never got into it. I need to finish reading Pfanz's book. I left off with McLaws' attack.

Have to say Chamberlain's. Too bad I can't say the 17h Kentucky Regiment Infantry (US) -- but they were at Vicksburg... [-)

My family was split. My father's side was Union and my mother's Confederate. So I can go with either side. :)

Kind of like whether someone in Kentucky cheers for the University of Louisville, or the University of Kentucky. Anyone from here, understands how important that decision is. :laugh: Myself: I grew up a UofK fan, but graduated from UofL. My loyalties lie with both, except when they play each other. Then I decide who to cheer for by which players personalities and playstyle I like the best.
