    I need to clear this up. No, we're not going to visually support every single regiment that fought in the campaign of Maryland. I don't think any studio would be able to pull this off - at least not when going for the level of detail that we are. You'll be able to play as all of the regiments in name only.

    So all of the generic volunteer regiments will look essentially the same, just with different names? If that's the case, I'm fine with it.

    Well that definitely makes since for units that wore the standard blue and grey, but there were many units that wore zouave uniforms of which not all were the same.

    I'm assuming the volunteer units will all have the standard blue for union with multiple variations for the south. Special units that had very well known unique uniforms will probably be visually represented though.

    I'm gonna hold my breath until the 11th Mississippi and 3rd Arkansas are added. My life is in your hands developers.

    So hopefully we should see some bursts of colour from both sides as union Zouves rampage about the field of battle.

    Indeed, and also some regiments equipped exclusively with hardee hats, and of course the different range of weapons. And think about all of the pretty colors you will see at the southern end of the battlefield

    Well I could just imagine the range of different colored uniforms if this game was set during the First Battle of Bull Run/Manassas and not the Maryland Campaign. Also that fact that some Union troops were wearing Grey and some Confederates wearing Blue.

    Indeed. It would have been a site to see. I sometimes wish I was alive during that time. As a spectator of course. I would be enjoying a nice midday picnic while observing the blood and death. Actually... I really like computers soooo.
