Hood's Texans In Rags

[Johnny_Reb_1865]

According to my research many of Hood's men were ragged and without shoes during the Maryland Campaign.

Will we possibly see Hood's Texans in game like this?

You'll see us in rags when someone whips us accordingly.

Modern research is slowly, but surely, turning the idea of the 'ragged rebel' on it's head. Recent delving into QM returns has turned up tangible evidence that as the war went on, the ANV was actually better equiped/supplied, than it was in the early years. The reason for the state of the army during the Maryland Campaign (and they were, without question, in a poor condition) was that they had been in contact with the enemy for months. I think WoR does a pretty good job with their Confederate models, most of the time we do look like we've not seen soap or water for months. The obvious absentee (as pointed out) is the lack of shoes.

As far as I recall, shoeless men will not be possible as the shoe is part of the model itself.

I agree.
And what is important to understand is that they union army had similar issues during the campaign.
Not because the supplied did not exist in depots (as was some times the issue for the csa), but because Lee's move north didn't allow some union regiments arriving from the peninsula and units that had fought under pope, the needed time to resupply.

The union army had big issues with straggles, just like Lee's army had.

I'd like to get Dev imput on this.

That is not correct.
