West Virginia wasn't an enemy state. They formed a government in June 1861 and officially became a state in june 1863. At least 25,000 West Virginians fought in the Union army.<br/>

What's next? Someone will say all generals killed during the war should be removed on the turn they were killed historically even if they aren't anywhere near their historical place of death i.e. Stonewall is killed at Chancellorsville while leading the Army of Tennessee near Chattanooga!

<t> As far as combat experinece goes he had quite a bit. Seminole War, Utah Expedition, Mexican War. Getting promoted to major in the pre-war regular army wasn't easy either. Who knows if he had been successful in New Mexico we might have that part of the country on the game map.<br/>

<t> I'd like to see some debate on adding an artillery rating for generals. I think there might be a case since several of our generals had prewar service in artillery just as they did in cavalry.<br/>

I could have missed it but was there any talk of adding a few naval leaders to ...

Briggs and Brooks

Wool,_J.E. BG (USA) 25 Jun 1841, MG (USA) 16 May 62 - 4th ranking general when he retired in 63.

I finally found out why Brooks was demoted and updated his bio... Abe Lincoln was not too fond of whistle blowers - right, wrong or indifferent.

<t> Looking up all the sizes of the commands is a waste. If the restrictions on stars and corresponding units are lifted then anyone can command anything - which is historical. If the restrictions are removed the stars can equal real ranks and you can keep the North on historical terms by not ...
