If possible, I would love to see more uniform variation for the 1st Delaware. Unlike most other Union states, Delaware did not supply uniforms, they were private purchase or homemade, much like the southern "Commutation system". You can see a wide variety of clothing on the famous picture of the 1st DE Color guard after Antietam.

Echoes of Glory
Interestingly, the first Delaware had 2 zouave companies who fought at Antietam. You’ll see it even mentioned in the regimental history below. The zouaves came under particularly heavy fire when hitting the sunken road, the same action which earned Lt. Charles R. Tanner his Medal of Honor. They could be sprinkled in like some of the other mixed Zouaves/line regiments already in game. It would add even more variety to the union side.
