I welcome the dicussion on the Civil War.

What might have been helpful for the Confederates would have been to get its hands on (through stealing raids) the repeater rifle which a few Union cavalry units had.
These units had a fearsome firepower.

Just imagine what an out numbered Confederate Army could have done in a defensive position with the repeater rifle. It would have evened the odds considerably.

cany wait for the civil war game...my wife will kill me lol

Repeaters were not widely used for two main reasons,
1 was the cost and $37 to $65 where as a musket only cost $ 10 to $20.
2 was the fact that the army didn't like the idea of the high rate of fire. ( The normal load out for a civil war soldier was 40 rounds)
