Ah okay. I already knew about Brigades being the basic unit (I've played quite a bit of the game) but obviously didn't know that they left out certain Regiments. Thank you.

Wait a minute, I've got another question. So in this game, where are these other Regiments? Are they part of Cutler's Brigade? Or are they not represented in the game then? You seem to know a good bit about this...

Oh wow. So actually a Regiment (6th Wisconsin) and another split off from the Iron Brigade and basically "joined" another Brigade/made one of its own. That is quite interesting. Thank you very much.

I don't know what you're talking about. I've managed to hold the Confederates even with the A.I being Determined AND having it boosted. They keep charging straight into my cannons and volleys and fall back with horrendous casualties. I find the first scenario rather easy while being the Union simply because you have a couple of Veteran Brigades with the largest Union Elite Brigade, along with plenty of Cannons and the best Union General.

I actually have to agree with you. I feel the Confederates are at a disadvantage most of the time. The ONLY way I can win as the Confederates is if I butcher A.P Hills two divisions during the first day with taking as many points as possible. That makes it a bit easier for me during the second and third day but good Lord, the death toll for my side is devastating. I don't understand how R.E.B. Blunt is able to post such ludicrous scores as the Rebels. I can't do anything except die as them!

I've read from multiple sources that the starting strength of the Iron Brigade was 1,885 men. Not 1,450 as shown in game. Not that I'm complaining about this, the Iron Brigade is quite formidable even without higher numbers but I'm curious if the game designers did this for balancing issues? Does anyone know?

R.E.B Blunt! Holy crap! How in the seven levels of Hell did you manage that many kills with a single Brigade?!
