    Apparently the result of some slacker ... they only made a U.S. General of the Army Badge, which is the tier I donated at. The top tier for the Confederates were Lt. Generals. I guess they forgot that there were several full generals in the Southern Service. I don't recall a single full general in the Union Service however.

    It's been rather dull at the point lately.

    The boys are itching for a real fight.

    Strictly speaking the rank you hold didn't exist until 1866 - so it's a bit unauthentic I guess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera...United_States) naturally, there is no such rank for the CSA - both due to them not being around in '66 and them not having any variations in their General insignias.

    Perhaps we are interpreting what "General of the Army" is or should be ... But, I respectfully disagree.

    There were 8 full generals in the Confederate Services. Full Generals were appointed and approved in 1861.

    And there was only 1 General in Charge of the Army. R.E. Lee. But that was only for a year, 1864 - 1865.

    Interesting note about Lee. He made rank as far as a colonel in the U.S. Army. And the insignia on his coats reflected that rank during his service in the Civil War. Despite his promotions and etc., in the Confederate Service. He wore the Stars and uniform of a Colonel through 5 years of war. The man was an enigma. He swore to some friends that he would never raise his hand in anger against the Union. But if his state decided to succeed, then to protect his state he would do what was necessary. He considered the succession of the confederacy as treason and said so openly. But as a Virginian, he served for his state.

    We are using the actual rank General of the Army as made in 1866 along with its unique insignia. There is no such thing for the CSA counterpart.

    Yeah, we saw his colonel stars at a museum in Richmond.

    Anyways, enough off-topic - sorry guys. Don't let me interrupt your club!
