I know this topic has been addressed before in one form or another and I totally understand why certain regiment numbers are unavailable if they did not partake in the Maryland Campaign. However, it really sucks that the regiment I want to create is unavailable even though it was established in August 1862, almost a month before Antietam. For now I'm forced to just keep a reminder of the div # and company i want to create and hope that i can make it in time whenever its available before someone else snatches it up. It would be nice to have some kind of official "reserving" system or something for regiments that may/may not have participated in Maryland Campaign. I really appreciate the dedication to accuracy and detail but i def feel like there could be a little more breathing room when it comes to something like this. It certainly would help new active units with members eager to represent the storied regiments of their choosing breathe life into the community and give new players (like myself) a viable alternative to the countless dead regiments that plague the list atm.
