Sir Galahadn't Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I have just noticed that Lt. Gen. Gen. Lee has a security detail of only 64 men while all of my other corps commanders have 500 men, even the Maj. Gen's. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandakraut Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Some officers have different sizes and if I remember right, the specific officers vary between campaigns. Not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I assume that generals expected not to go to the fighting front should have inconspicuous escorts when they do ngo near the firing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gael Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 If I remember correctly, Confederate generals were limited by law to about 30 staff, as they needed to maintain as many soldiers as possible in their combat units. In addition to manpower shortages, the South also had horse shortages after the first 1-2 years. I remember reading about one specific artillery team comprised of horses except for having a pony in the "wheel horse" position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
