At the beginning of the Shiloh scenario, Grant is an Army commander, but no one in his region is in his Army. How do I attach those units to Grant's Army? How can I create Corps and make them part of Grant's Army. (It seems like this should be easier, but I'm having no luck accomplishing this based on the tutorials.)

But where you able doing so in the tutorial, because last time I checked, it was explaining how to do that.

Yes, I've done the tutorials, thanks. I don't understand why the divisions with Grant at the beginning of the scenario aren't already part of his Army, and have tried these things:
- cancelling Grant's Army appointment and making him army commander again, while stacked with the divisions
- appointing corps commanders (e.g. Sherman) so that links from army to corps to division would be complete, but the option to appoint Sherman as a corps commander isn't active

Sherman is a 1-star and can't form a corps.
Take McClernand or Wallace, split their divisions to single out the general
(not member of a division) and the button to form a corps is activated.

Thanks!

Sometimes the army organization that the scenario starts with is undone during the game. For example, I'm the Union in the 1964 Atlanta scenario. I advance toward Atlanta, but I'm routed by the Confederates, and starting the next turn my troops are all back in Chattanooga and my corps organization is gone: all units are now stacked as part of Sherman's Army tab, and the Army symbol at the left of the map doesn't indicate that there are any corps. Do I need to construct a new corps and division structure at this point, or will the game put it back as the army recovers?

One thing which happens when you lose a battle and retreat is your army takes on a green offensive/defensive posture. When you go to green you lose army or corps organization. All you need to do when you begin your turn is change the combat stance to blue/orange and then you can make Sherman the army commander again and attach his corps to him.
So the game will not put them back, you do.
