Regiment history database

Another long range project of Scourge of War: Gettysburg will be to compile data on all regiments present in the game--these data will inform the numerical values we assign to regiments. Getting the regimental values right should be a subject of hot debate for those of us who want the game to be as good as it can be. If anybody wants to help me research the regiments, leave me a note in my inbox. Thanks.

Do you think there's a chance to also mod the regimental flags in the game?

Man Larry, great timing with the positive plug...

And yes, as I have already announced in another thread, I've got 47 historically researched CSA flags ready to be released when the SDK is officially made available.

When i think of regimental flags in this game, I think about Stonewall Jackson in Gods & Generals when he arrives at Manassas and issues his orders to every single regiment.

I expect these flags to appear on the field not only in the RGT but in the spot where the RGT is going so I know where each RGT is going to be. :)

Thanks very much for this, Southern. The Official Records I have, but I need something that's been digested a bit. I'll check the other two out.

You may find this site of interest. There's a wealth of information there and no doubt you'll find a number of unit flags present at Gettysburg. ~Gary
