For MP what Brigade will you all be using? If you are a major general, what will your favorite division to use be?

On the brigade level I would use the Stonewall Brigade, which I believe was commanded by james walker at Gettysburg, and on the divisional level would use Early's Division (hence the username).

Not sure the stonewall bgde will be that popular in this game. By Gettysburg
it was down to shadow of its former self.

I'll probably spend a good bit of time commanding Brooke's brigade in Caldwell's division of Hancock's 2nd Corp. My old reenactment unit (53rd PVI) was a part of that brigade and I've spent many a day doing volunteer cleanup work along the brigade monument line in Rose Woods. It was Brooke's brigade that inflicted the Confederate casualties shown in the famous Rose farm photos.

At brigade command, I'll be using the Irish without a doubt. Like the Stonewall Brigade, they had been reduced to a shadow of its former self, but damn were they still good. At division level I'll take Caldwell's First Division, Second Corps.

If I am fighting for the South (don't see this happening) I would use Ramseur's brigade and Rhode's Division.

But for SOW since I am a 1st corps man I will command Paul's brigade and if I get "promoted" command Robinson's Division. Can't wait to see them in battle!

I would use the 3rd Brigade (Vincent's Brigade), 1st Division, V Corps obviously. For a division I would I use Ayres's Regulars Division cause I have always had very good successes when I would command that division in TC2M.

Definitely Kershaw's brigade. A large brigade (2,138 men) made up of tough South Carolina boys, many from my home town of Greenville, SC.
