    In the Antietam Campaign:
    The Regiment fought in the Federal XII Corps attack at the northern part of the battlefield on 17 September: through the Cornfield, and between the East and West Woods. The men of Collis' Independent Company - the "Zouaves d'Afrique" - were attached to the 2nd Massachusetts at Antietam. Lt Colonel Wilder Dwight was mortally wounded in combat with the regiment.
    I would love to see a Zouave unit, but Hinkel hasn't showcased a single confederate unit yet.

    Nope, the only confederate video is about the CS officer corps.

    A Zouave video would be cool indeed!

    At least we have 3-4 Zouave uniforms ingame, so would be enough for an episode.

    Not saying you did a video on them. I'm saying it's a double win! Zouave and Confederate.

    Personally, I'd like to see any artillery or cavalry unit (A formed in-game unit preferably.). For infantry, I'd also like to see the 15th Wisconsin (Co. B). I do know that Cavalry and artillery aren't in the game yet and that it's therefore probably impossible to record. Also, I understand why the 15th Wisconsin isn't very interesting for people who aren't from the Nordics.

    A more realistic request would be the Palmetto sharpshooters or a Zouave unit.

    Tigers were at the battle, The guys from the 1st Special Battalion joined the 1st Louisiana Zouave Battalion (Coppen's Zouaves) after the 1st SB disbanded. But after Antietam most of them ended up leaving the Zouave Battalion to join other Louisiana Units because of how destroyed the Zouave Battalion was after the Battle. These were men from the original Co. B "Whites Tigers", And the other companies from the Special Battalion, Some 80 men joined Coppen's Zouaves from Wheat's Tigers.
    Although technically the term "Louisiana Tigers" didn't come around till after Gettysburg, Tigers originates among Company B of the 1st Louisiana Special Battalion which was called "Whites Tigers" after the Captain, Then went on to be "Wheat's Tigers" after the Col, Then the whole Special Battalion went on to be called "Wheat's Tigers" but then after Gettysburg, All Louisiana Troops seemed to take on the name "Tigers"

    But a video on Starkes Brigade which included Coppen's Zouaves would be pretty cool, Coppen's Zouaves at the end of the battle only managed to pull together 12 men because the rest had either died, Been wounded, Or were off scavenging supplies from dead bodies, And I'm not sure but some might have deserted too. They fought in the West Woods and fought in the close quarters fight at Hagerstown Pike.

    Yes some of them were there but none of them had the "Special Uniform" at the time of the battle
