 Cavalry: Most brigades are of 6 to 8 stands of the same width as the
infantry. We like to substitute dismounted stands for the mounted
ones when cavalry operates in this manner. They should number
fewer stands, however, for 2 reasons. Some must hold horses, and
they will take up less frontage. We suggest the following guide-
lines:
MOUNTED DISMOUNTED HORSE
STANDS STANDS HOLDERS

5 4 1 b. Move and fire (BR once, RR twice) (or vice versa)

9 6 3 2. Mount and move Vi normal move

11 3 4. Dismount, move 1/2 and fire

12 8 4
We might add that this adds visually to the flavor of Civil War
gaming.
Artillery: Artillery is grouped into battalions of 12 to 24 guns, with
each stand representing 12 guns. For simplicity, a stand is con-
sidered to be all smoothbore or all rifled guns. We like to include
limbers and ammo wagons as well.
CONFEDERATE ORGANIZATION
Infantry: Brigades range between 4 to 10 stands, with 8-stand bri-
gades being most common.
Cavalry: Brigades are of 8 to 12 stands in strength.
Artillery: Fewer total guns, smaller battalions, and more smooth-
bore guns than the Union.
COMBAT VALUES (CV) AND QUALITY
Units and even leaders are graded in OTR. Units may be green to
elite in status. Leaders also vary from miserable to very good. Our
game charts are designed to produce this variance by chance. The
odds are based on a study of the Eastern Theater of the war during
the period before the Gettysburg Campaign. If you are using a
Western scenario, then we suggest using the Confederate charts for
troop and commander quality for both sides. For the "late war"
period the pre-Cettysburg charts might well be reversed.
Units are listed and their CV's determined by chance merely as a
convenience. A referee or the scenario designer may assign values
to the units as he desires: in historical battles, the CV may relate to
the unit's historical performance. In the latter case, an unabridged
edition of BATTLES & LEADERS is a boon.

SEQUENCE OF PLAY
1. Units are divided into divisions of 2 to 5 brigades each, usually
with an attached artillery battalion, and the divisions named en-
tered on a card.
2. Brigade combat values (CV's) are determined and Division and
Corps commander ratings are assigned, (see charts)
3. Each Division (both sides) is represented by a card. All cards are
shuffled together and placed in a single stack. When a Division's
card is turned up, all the brigades and supporting arms of that Divi-
sion move or fire, melee, whatever, but only after removing any
morale markers the brigades may have.
4. After the last card is turned up, reserve brigades may attempt to
rebuild lost stands, and eligible units may attempt to build breast-
works.
5. Repeat from step 3.

 MOVEMENT
Movement distance is dependent upon the formation the unit is in
at the start of the move. Infantry units and dismounted cavalry
units may be in one of four formations: the march column, the attack
column (both are considered column formations), the line, and the
reinforced line. Cavalry may be in march column or line, and artil-
lery may be in line (unlimbered) or march column (limbered).

A LINE FORMATION
The line is formed with all the unit's stands abreast.

A MARCH COLUMN CROSSES A BRIDGE

The march column or route column consists of stands one behind the
other. This formation allows for more rapid movement, and move-
ment along roads and across bridges. A unit in this formation, how-
ever, may not initiate melee contact, and, if contacted, fights with a
0 multiplier. A unit must be in march column to get the road bonus.

A REINFORCED LINE
The reinforced line is formed by 2 lines of the same brigade, the
second being about 2" behind the first and containing about half as
many stands. The ratio of front-line to supporting line should be:
2-1, 3-1, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 5-3, 6-3, 6-4. There is a 3-stand minimum to
use this formation.

This formation moves like a line, but adds 1 point to the unit's CV
with both lines counting for total bases. Should the first line be
broken when defending, the second line remains intact, is not dis-
ordered, and must be attacked if a bonus move is to be taken. The
first line may thus rally behind the second rather than retreat a
number of moves as described in the MELEE RESULTS TABLE.
This is true only if the first line is attacked frontally.

Changes of formation occur before movement, and cost half the

AN ATTACK COLUMN: These Rebs have been unfortunate enough
to receive a "Morale Marker".
The attack column is formed of 2 to 3 stands abreast, and has a depth
of 2 to 3 stands. When in melee, this formation adds 1 point to the
unit's CV.

movement distance allowed to the unit.
Changes of facing are free, and may occur either before movement,
after movement, or both before and after the unit moves. In changes
of face, a unit's stands may move up to but not beyond the distance
listed in the Movement Table for its current formation.

 Disrupting terrain. Units moving into or through woods, crossing hill
slopes, or fords roll a D10, the result is then modified for unit type
and formation (see chart). If the resulting modified roll is higher
than the number listed for the type of terrain, the unit may move
normally, otherwise the unit moves at Vi speed. On the following
turn, however, the unit is considered to have paid the penalty for
crossing the terrain, with the exception of woods, which must be
diced each turn.
Bonus move. A unit that wins a melee by 26 or more points gets a
bonus move. The unit making a bonus move may charge another
unit, make a special move, retreat or whatever. The only limitation
being that after fighting the first line of a reinforced line, any bonus
movement must be used to attack the second line. A bonus move is
OPTIONAL for the winning unit and never HAS to be made. When a
cavalry unit mounts or dismounts as the bonus move, the formation
that the troops were previously in is maintained.

Doubletime move. A unit may make an extended move if it is in
march column, and does not enter or move through disruptive ter-
rain during the move. Artillery units are permitted one doubletime
move per game. A unit that doubletimes more than once during the
game rolls a D10 for the second and subsequent times that they do
so. If the number rolled is less than or equal to the number of times
that the unit has doubletimed previously, the unit loses one stand
before completing the move.
Special moves. Infantry or cavalry may make special moves at any
time. A D10 is rolled and the full amount of the roll is added to the
unit's full normal movement distance, unless the unit is moving to
contact the enemy. In order to use special movement a unit may not:
move through disruptive terrain, change formation, or fire (except
the initial volley). If a special move is used to attempt to contact an
enemy unit, the unit making the move must contact the enemy
unit or else it is in disorder and receives a morale marker. A unit
may make as many special moves during the game as desired.

Commanders. Commanders may split their movement during the
movement phase of their divisions so long as the total distance
moved does not exceed a cavalry charge move (24"). This allows a
commander to move to a unit, exercise a morale pass for that unit,
move the unit, and then move the commander to another unit to
execute another morale pass during the same phase.
Towns and Buildings. Movement through towns is by march column
only, but towns are NOT disruptive terrain. Entrance to and exit
from any building is a change of formation. Buildings are destroyed
by burning or by a "kill", requiring from 2 to 8 artillery hits, de-
pending on building size. Buildings are assaulted as in normal
melee, giving "In works" advantage to defenders (either +2 or
+ 3, depending on construction) until they are destroyed.
FIREPOWER
Two types of hits may result from firing, a "morale hit" or a "kill".
A "morale hit" will disorganize a unit and give it a morale marker.
A "kill" results in the removal of 1 stand from the unit that was hit,
as well as disordering the unit and giving it a morale marker.

Interpenetration. During movement a line may move through an-

other line of friendly troops without penalty. A column or attack col-
umn will disorganize any friendly line or march column through
which it moves, giving them a morale marker. At no time may any
unit move through an attack column, nor may cavalry interpenetrate.
Charging. Unless using special movement to contact, a unit moves
no further when charging than it would in a normal move for the

BATTERY IN FIRING POSITION
ARTILLERY
Artillery fire is accomplished by measuring the range to the target to
determine the appropriate section of the Artillery Results Table to
be used. A D10 is then rolled, and the result adjusted as indicate
on the Artillery Modifiers Table. The modified die roll is then com-
pared to the proper range section of the Artillery Results Table to
determine if it is a miss or if the target unit loses a stand or receives
only a morale marker.
When an artillery unit is hit by either small arms or artillery fire, 2
kill results must be obtained before the unit is eliminated. Morale
hits have no effect on artillery units.
Smoothbore artillery ONLY may fire DOUBLE DICE when at point-
blank range (0-10"), thus doubling its kill potential.
Artillery located on higher terrain than the target unit subtracts 4"
from the range to the target.
Each stand of artillery in a battalion resolves fire separately.
Incendiaries: Each time a kill is rolled on troops in a building, a
confirmation roll is made to ascertain if the building catches on fire
(0 through 4—building catches fire). In case of fire, the garrison
must evacuate the buildings next turn. Throw D10 to determine
number of turns before building is cool rubble.
Copyright t> 1983, 2010 the Courier Magazine 10
SMALL ARMS FIRE
Small arms fire is resolved for those dismounted cavalry and infantry
units that are in range of the enemy and eligible to fire. The num-
ber of stands firing is determined for each unit and is divided into
groups of 6 stands (one group per unit could contain less than 6
stands). For each group of 6, a D10 is rolled and the appropriate
modifications made from the Small Arms Modifiers Table. The
modified result is compared on the Small Arms Effect Table, and the
result applied to the target unit. Brigades of the same Division,
firing at the same target MAY group their firing stands into groups
of 6 for this purpose. EXAMPLE: 2 units of the same Division, one
of 5 stands and one of 3 fire at the same target unit. This CAN be
fired as one group of 6 and one group of 2.
Carbines have a range of 6", muzzleloaded rifles 12", and breech-
loaded and repeating rifles 18". The latter involves the Sharps rifle
in the hands of experts.
First volley: Units armed with muzzleloaded rifles may
not fire when moving more than half their distance or when changing
from or to an attack column; nor may they move, change formation
and fire unless it is the unit's first volley in the game. This is to
simulate the difficulty encountered in walking and attempting to load
a muzzleloader simultaneously.
Breechloaders: Units with breechloaders (breechloading carbines
should use carbine range) may make a full move and fire or may
fire twice if they do not move (i.e. the number of bases firing is
doubled).
Woods: Units firing into or through woods roll a D10 to determine
their range (this reflects visibility effects); carbines still can't fire
more than 6". The range in woods is determined separately for each
unit firing, thus one unit may be unable to fire while another unit
farther from the target can shoot.
Works: When a unit is in breastworks, 2 ranks of its troops may fire.
Support: A "supported" fire bonus of 1 is given to units that can
rest their weapons on a fence, a wall or an embankment.
Commander casualty: If a commander is attached to a unit that suf-
fers either a kill or a morale hit from artillery or small arms fire, a
D10 is rolled. If a 0 is rolled, the commander becomes a casualty
and is removed from the game.
Should a commander become a casualty due to fire or melee, his
command will operate for one turn without a commander, then a
new commander may be rolled for as was done at the start of the
game.

 Morale passes used by the previous commander(s) count against the
new commander's total, thus a new commander may find that all of
his morale passes have already been used.
A DESTROYED UNION BATTERY
MELEE
Melee is resolved in the following manner:
1. Attacking units roll a D10 and compare the results to the unit's
CV, adding +2 to the unit's CV if it is charging cavalry. If the result
is less than or equal to the unit's CV, the unit will contact its target;
otherwise, the unit will move half the distance to the target unit and
deploy into line. The roll to close may be modified by the presence of
a commander attached to the charging unit. A unit attempting a
flank or rear attack closes automatically and need not check.
2. If the attack was not onto the flank or rear of the target unit, the
target of the charge will give fire into the charging unit. This fire is
in addition to any other fire done in the turn previously, so the target
unit could still fire even if it had moved fully or had already fired
before being charged. A flank is defined as being greater than 45
degrees from the target unit's front as is enfilade when firing.
3. If the charging unit closes to contact, both sides figure the melee
value of each of their troops in the melee. The melee value is equal to
J check.
the number of stands in combat times the unit's modified combat
value times a positional multiplier.
4. Each side adds together melee values for all of the friendly
troops involved in the melee and adds to this a roll of a D10.
Copyright c 1933, 2010 the Courier Magazine 12
5. The side with the largest total is the winner, the difference in the
totals determines the outcome. If any commanders were attached to
units participating in the melee, a D10 is rolled for each; on a 0
through 3 the commander is a casualty and is removed.
6. Depth of Melee. While melee is unit on unit, e.g., if a unit is
struck in flank, the entire unit fights. There are specific rules govern-
ing depth of formation:
Infantry attacking Count up to 3 stands deep
Cavalry attacking Count up to 2 stands deep
Infantry defending Count up to 2 stands deep
Cavalry defending Count only 1 stand deep
EXAMPLE: 1 Confederate (8-stand) brigade, defending, in attack
column, against 3 (6-stand) Union brigades.
CS Count: 6 stands = 2 stands depth. US Count: 18 stands = 3
stands depth.
Commanders. Attached commanders modify the roll for closing to
contact as follows: Exceptional -2, Firebrand -1, Aggressive or
Cautious -0, and Poltroon +1. In addition, attached CO add +1 per
base to their troops.
Units that were attacked before their turn had come to move are
unable to move. Such units fire only during the melee phase. Units
in melee also receive bonuses based on the quality of their division
CO, even if he is not attached: Exceptional CO +1 at all times, Fire-
brand CO +1 if unit is attacking, Cautious CO +1 if unit is defend-
ing, A^fl^geeand Poltroon CO, no effect.
Cavalry: Charging cavalry will close to contact only if the modified
roll is less than the unit's CV +2. Cavalry who are being charged by
other cavalry only may countercharge if they pass their CV +2
Bonuses: Units get a bonus for defending uphill if at any time during
the move the attacking unit crossed the hill slope. Units get a bonus
for attacking downhill if at any time during the move, the unit de-
scended a hill slope. If the melee totals should be the same for both
sides, both would lose 1 stand and withdraw 6".

 Units that have not yet had a chance to remove their morale markers
before being charged, do not get to remove them in their normal
turn but instead count as disordered troops in the melee phase.

REBUILDING BRIGADES
At the end of each turn, a unit that has not moved and is out of range
of the enemy may attempt to rebuild lost stands. Each turn that the
unit is in reserve status, it may roll a D10 and compare the result
on the Reserve Brigade Table. The unit may only rebuild to the
strength with which it started the game.

Green troops subtract one from the rebuilding roll and elite troops
add one to their roll when attempting to rebuild.

THIS BRIGADE IS "REBUILDING" The flag stand faces the rest

of the unit.
BUILDING WORKS

Units that are not attempting to rebuild lost stands may build works.
The unit must remain stationary and may not fire. At the end of
each turn, the unit rolls a D10; a 9 is required to successfully com-
plete a brigade frontage of works. For each consecutive turn the unit
attempts to build works add 1 to the die roll. Elite units add 2 when
attempting to build works and veteran units add 1 to the roll. While
in the process of building works a unit counts disorganized and re-
quires one turn to organize after the task is completed.

 OPTIONAL RULES
Any or all of these rules may be used at the player's discretion; none
fundamentally alter the game, though most do add a degree of
complexity.
Catling Guns: While not used to any large degree in the historical
conflict, they show up frequently on the tabletop. Catling guns are
moved as horse artillery. A full-strength battery fires 2 dice rolls on
the Small Arms Chart for Modifiers, ignoring stand and quality
restrictions. A battery that has suffered a "kill" fires at a +2 modi-
fier. Range and Hit Chart as follows:
Range Kill Morale
17-24" 0 1,2
9-16" 0,1 2-7
0-8" 0-4 5-9
If doubles are rolled, the gun has jammed and may not fire on the
next turn.
Revenge Moves: Instead of moving to contact, revenge moves are
limited to one full move plus 9". In addition, route columns are not
required to move into contact; instead they may move normally but
toward the enemy.
Artillery and Morale Hits: Artillery takes morale tests like other
units, but with the following restrictions. All artillery test morale as
veteran units; they ignore any rolls above "Stand". Rolls below
stand must limber up and retire for a full move.
Rally: On automatic passes units may move freely with no restric-
tions, as if they successfully passed a Morale Chart roll.
Cavalry Formation: Allow cavalry brigades to form double line—Vi
the brigade in the first line and Ya in the second. A distance of 2"
must be kept between the brigades while maneuvering, but the
second line may close up in melee. The formation moves and takes
fire as a line. The only disadvantage of the formation is that if the
unit is attacked only the first line would count in melee; if it attacks,
both lines count.
Catastrophic Kills: For increased firepower consider the following.
In any fire procedure, if the modified die roll falls as a negative
number (any number below zero), the target loses 2 stands instead
off.
Prone Units: A unit may fall prone or stand up at the cost of half its
normal movement for that turn. Units may only fall prone in line or
reinforced line formation. Only infantry units or dismounted cavalry
Copyright t> 1983, 2010 the Courier Magazine 70
units may fall prone. Prone units may not fire, but receive a +2
when fired upon. They are not seen in woods or behind cover until
contacted or sighted from elevation. Prone units have a 0 multiplier
if meleed. Breechloader-armed prone units may fire at half their
normal effect or as muzzleloaders.
Roster Variant: With small alteration a very satisfying roster game
may be played. Stands are not removed! Whenever the rules call
for removal of a stand, simply deduct 4 CV from the unit. When es-
tablishing troop quality at the beginning of a game, take the CV
(Combat Value) per stand and multiply it by the number of stands in
the unit. Example: A regular 6-stand Infantry Brigade would have
a C V o f 2 4 ( 4 C V x 6 = 24).
Small arms are counted as 1 die roll per 6 CV in the firing unit.
On the Morale Chart, subtract 1 from the roll per CV lost.
On the Reserve Brigade Table units gain 4 CV per success instead
of gaining a stand.
Larger Games: The battlefield should be divided into corps fronts.
Each corps front should contain about a dozen units per side. A
separate deck of movement cards is used for each corps front. Es-
sentially, several smaller games are played simultaneously. No
crossover fire between corps frontages is allowed. There is a 1-turn
delay for units moving to adjacent corps fronts as reinforcements.
SCENARIOS
For those gamers who have trouble dreaming up their own battles
and tire of historic re-creation, we suggest Charles Stewart Grant's,
SCENARIOS FOR WARGAMES (available from THE COURIER).
In converting the suggested troop strengths to OTR, follow these
rules of thumb.
1. Light Infantry, when listed, adds another brigade to the Yankees.
For the Rebs, Light Infantry, when listed, counts as 6 extra stands, to
be added to existing brigades, working from a 6-stand base.
2. Each cavalry unit listed counts as 3 stands.
3. For a large collection double total forces.

CAMPAIGNS
After a few months or years of gaming we wanted something more.
There is always that stubborn soul in the group who fights to the last
drop of blood of the last grenadier, and who will never admit defeat.
This is the main reason why we have victory conditions and casualty
.avoidance rules and why we all want (at least at first) to fight cam-
paigns.
The following is asimplified campaigns complete with intelligence
gathering, based on Paddy Griffith's work and the old Prussian "Free
Kriegspiel". It may all be done in only a few nights and requires as few
as three players. There is a C inC for each side and a semi (long suffer-
ing) umpire. The umpire's duties do not preclude his having a subor-
dinate command in the actual battles.

The miniature campaign will take place in a specified theater and

must have an objective. The objective might be seizing a rail-head ,
river crossing, a pair of road junctions, mountain passage or the like. A
map of the area is then drawn with some terrain; hills, forests, etc. You
may, of course use either board game or survey maps. Grid the map in-
to squares,each square being a game board. A number of these
likely"battle squares" are then enlarged and detailed maps drawn.
These enlarged maps are kept by the umpire alone, since they contain
terrain features not shown on the campaign grid map. This is the ad-
vantage of fictional terrain.
Then each side's OB must be determined, the size of the forces
naturally varying with the size of your figure collection and giving
numerical edge to the attacker. In addition each 4 to 6 infantry units
should have a wagon assigned to represent those infernal but
necessary supply trains. Next each unit of cavalry are given 4 patrols Only cavalry and Horse artillery may forage afield. That is, infantry
which they send out each campaign turn. and artillery must stay in the same square with their trains. In addition
the patrols of the cavalry units may ride reconnaissance into each ad-
Each turn the umpire checks the weather by die roll; weather permit- jacent square from the position of its parent unit. For example, if a
ting the armies now move as follows: Union cavalry outfit is in square "C" (see map) it could send its patrols
into squares B, H, I, J. or D. Further its 4 patrols may be broken up as

loses, it reports nothing except that it had a brush with enemy horse. ROLL EMPTY SCREEN MAIN BODY

If there are no enemy patrols, the umpire uses the chart at once. These
reports involve some degree of acting or role playing by the umpire
who must give each report the ring of truth, but of course this is a
great part of the enjoyment of this phase of the campaign.

All the while the umpire is feeding both CinCs information from their
scouts, they, in turn, are attempting to use this information to
maneuver their army to advantage. Each perplexed general sits at his
imperfect map (out of sight of his opponent - seperate rooms work
best) moving his units until major portions of mixed arms (umpire's
O,: decision) end up on the same square. A battle then results. Every 4 bat-
tle turns units may map move, including more patrolling. Of course
units locked in combat may neither move nor patrol. Remember too
that before each campaign turn the umpire must roll for weather as
follows: roll 2 dice; doubles equal bad weather,

 SUGGESTED ARMIES AND A POINT SYSTEM
Many wargamers play games exclusively based on point systems, so
here is one for ON TO RICHMOND.
Each infantry brigade has a basic cost of 5 points. A troop quality
roll is then made, the resulting CV (Combat Value) is multiplied by
the 5 points. Thus a green brigade of 3 CV would be worth 15 points
while an elite brigade is worth 30 points. Of course, brigades might
be chosen by quality, too. Thus the following:
Green Brigade — 15 points NB: For point games all brigades
Regular Brigade — 20 points of infantry and cavalry are of 6
Veteran Brigade — 25 points stands.
Elite Brigade — 30 points
A similar procedure is followed for cavalry brigades: a basic 10-
point cost followed by a multiple of the CV.
Green Cavalry Brigade — 20 points
Regular Cavalry Brigade — 50 points
Veteran Cavalry Brigade — 60 points
Elite Cavalry Brigade — 70 points
For point games all cavalry are armed with muzzleloading carbines.
In point games one division CO is allotted per 3 brigades, and one
C in C (Commander in Chief) per side.
Artillery battalions are all of 2 stands and worth 30 points. Only Vi of
the artillery may be rifled guns.
ON TO RICHMOND was designed for play with fairly large armies,
we therefore suggest the following as a goal to shoot for.
For the Yankees a 9-infantry brigade, with a 6-stand base for all
brigades, and corps in 3 divisions. Add to this an artillery reserve of
4 or 5 stands and a 6-stand cavalry brigade. This produces an army
of about 250 castings. Even with the optional addition of limbers,
supply wagons, casualty figures, and dismounted cavalry, the total
is still at the reasonable level of around 300 figures.
A Confederate army is of similar organization—an infantry force of
6 brigades of 8-stand strength organized in 2 divisions. Artillery of
4 or 5 stands, and a large 8 to 10 stand cavalry brigade complete
the force. With both armies together, the resulting 600 castings total
is a goal within the reach of most gamers or groups.

UNIFORMS
Gamers of the ACW are fortunate because of the wealth of informa-
tion on Civil War uniforms. I will therefore keep these remarks both
general and brief. The armies of the Union chose the simple but
fairly attractive kepi and sack coat of dark blue, set off by medium
blue trousers. The trousers were sometimes worn with white gaiters,
but more often either worn loose or tucked into gray socks. Belting
and equipment were nearly always black with either a black knap-
sack or gray blanket roll. A black slouch hat often substituted for
the kepi, especially in the West. Artillery and cavalry uniforms were
similar with those arms often wearing a waistlength coatee instead
of the sack coat. Likewise, artillery and cavalry were more likely to
have their piping and facing colors visible. These colors were light
blue for infantry, red for artillery, and yellow for cavalry.
While Confederate regulations called for similar facing colors on a
gray uniform coat, their uniforms were somewhat more complex. If
a Rebel outfit had good uniforms, it was more likely to display
facing colors. This was particularly true in the artillery where
Southern gunners clung to their red kepis. The lack of supply and
shortages for the Confederacy are well known, but often overstated.
A realistic Reb force should vary from smart gray uniforms to the
literal tatters of butternut, brown, and homespun. We find that this
is where the painting of Civil War armies is the most enjoyable.
Units may run the gamut of sartorial martial splendor. We suggest
that some one-third of your Confederate brigades be in regulation
gray dress, about one-third in varying declining issue, and the final
third in the butternut tatters and civilian rags. Don't forget an oc-
casional captured Yankee hat or coat, too. If you follow this plan, it
should produce a very colorful and realistic looking force.
HISTORICAL UNITS
To aid beginners, we include the following listing of some famous
brigades of the Civil War. We include some unique aspects of uni-
forms in hopes that they may make your gaming more pleasant and
colorful.
UNION
Berdan's Sharpshooters: The increased range given in the rules for
breechloaders has these deadly marksmen in mind. They were
handpicked experts from across the breadth of the country. In the
tradition of the European "rifle and jaeger" regiments, they wore a
dark green uniform in the Union pattern. Since they were sharp-
shooting skirmishers, it is suggested they be mounted in a looser
formation, say 2 figures on a 2" by 1" stand. They are always con-
sidered veteran or elite in status, but no more than 4 to 6 stands in
the brigade.
27 Copyright CD 19SJ, 2010 the Courier Magazine
 Iron Brigade: The heroes of Gettysburg. Drawn from Indiana, Michi-
gan, and Wisconsin, this was the only all-Western brigade in the
Army of the Potomac. All wore the famous black hat instead of the
kepi. Always elites!
Irish Brigade: Drawn from the fighting Finnians of the Northeast,
this was a most gallant combat brigade. Some say they wore dis-
tinctive gray trousers and green facings on their coats; all agree
that they bore the green battle flag of Ireland.
Wilder's Lightning Brigade: This Western army unit was "mounted
infantry". They are best modeled from Reb cavalry figures carrying
rifles. While they had no sabres for mounted combat, they may have
been armed with repeaters late in the war, and those were rifles,
not carbines!
Vermont Brigade: Iron-souled sons of the Granite State. At least
for the first two years of the war they wore an all-dark-blue uniform.
Zouave Brigade: A collection of Zouave regiments who continued to
sport their flashy Zouave uniforms throughout the war.
Pennsylvania Reserve Division: The only division to keep integrity of
its unit all from a single state. They included the famous Pennsly-
vania "Bucktails" (42nd Pennslyvania).
Sykes Regulars: This unit was division-size at the "7 Days" bat-
tles. It contained the regular infantry of the United States Army. The
troops were renowned for their steadiness and courage. If there
were more elite troops in the conflict, they existed only in minds
of Southern writers.
CONFEDERATE
Stonewall Brigade: They earned their name along with their com-
mander at the First Manassas. They were an elite brigade of Shen-
andoah Virginians. At least for a while the Stonewallers were uni-
formed in frock coats of gray, butternut, and even blue, with light
blue kepis and pants, and white gaiters.
Texas Brigade: Composed of not only Texans but some razor-backed
Arkansans as well. They called themselves "Lee's grenadier
guards" and deserved the title. This unit is a good candidate for a
"ragged Reb" look, and must always be classed as elites.
Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade: A most gallant unit at Gettysburg.
They should rank at least as veterans.
Louisiana Brigade: Commanded in the Shenandoah Valley by Taylor
and later by Hays, this was a very tough fighting outfit. While it is
Copyright <£> 1983.2010 the Courier Magazine 28
not strictly historical, one might include the "Tiger Zouave" bat-
talion in their brown Zouave jackets and mattress-ticking volumi-
nous trousers.
Orphan's Brigade: A unit of exiled Kentuckians first led by John C.
Breckenridge. No unit was more shot up or took greater pride in it.
Washington Artillery: An entire battalion of guns from the cream of
New Orleans gentlefolk. This expert militia unit kept its red kepis,
blue coats, and red and yellow striped, pale blue pants throughout
the war. They should have a special status among Southern gun
crews, firing as if Union guns.
The above listing of units is merely representative. There were
many gallant brigades on both sides not here included. Let all arm-
chair generals salute their courage.
