Huger's reputation was undermined by a false accusation of Longstreet after Seven Pines. Longstreet's division had taken the wrong road, the one that was designed for Huger. The traffic jam made them both late for battle and D.H. Hill had to fight on his own. Longstreet blamed Huger in his official report and was backed by Johnston. Huger demanded a court of inquiry but Davis did let the matter drop.

Thanks. I had read a bit about this, but not the full story.

Would you suggest raising Huger's initiative rating, then? As you can see, I penalized him heavily. (I did this also because it's good for the CSA to have its share of poorly rated generals, since they can't all be a mixture of 4's, 5's and 6's.)

No, I think it is okay to have some bad Confederates. I had just thought you might want to add that story.
