    You want to pick a Company for your Battalion, I think it's the benchmark for everyone to start out at Company level. My Battalion personally, is functioning at a Platoon level right now. A Battalion usually functions with 6-8 Companies, I took the liberty of doing some research on your Battalion to find out how it operated. It looks as though the 1st Charleston had 7 Companies. Here are the Companies and their respective names:

    Company A - (also known as the Charleston Riflemen)
    Company B - (also known as the Palmetto Guard or the Charleston Light Infantry)
    Company C - (also known as the Irish Volunteers)
    Company D - (also known as Sumter Guards)
    Company E - (also known as the Calhoun Guards)
    Company F - (also known as the German Fusiliers and Union Light Infantry Volunteers)
    Company G - (also known as the Charleston Light Infantry)

    The First Battalion of Virginian Regulars salutes you boys. We wish you the best of luck in the coming war, we know you Charleston boys will whip em' good - give em' hell South Carolina!


    Welcome to the Confederacy and Godspeed,

    The highest rank in a company is Captain

    edit:I'm pretty sure about 80% of the people making companies haven't read any of the starter stuff on the forums

    Agreed and also the use of non civil war ranks is another indicator of not reading up. I may have picked it up wrong but dose the company tool only use set ranks?

    What you don't realize is that our regiment of the 1st Charleston is a REGIMENT not a company we have 4 total companies witch qualeifies us according to civil war standers as a regiment that has seen action. What most people don't realize is that a regiment is 1000 men but during the civil war they could get a regiment of exactly 1000 men so they were given detachments of cavalry and artillery to make a full regiment witch in the confederate states was very uncomon due to the amount of manpower the confederacy could field so the fact that we have 4 companies total isn't uncomon for the time. WoR takes place during the Maryland campaign at this point both sides have taken heavy casualties. At that point neither side has called up more men to join the war so all regiments at this point are battered and roughed up from being in the field. As a civil war reenactor I feel no one should be forced by the comunity to chose just 1 company if there NaS regiment has 4.
