The Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board

Re: 3rd Arkansas Infantry "Elite"

A fair post, but since Mr. Robbins was replying to my post perhaps I should apologize instead.
Much of what I learned as a boy about Civil War tactics and terrain features of major battlefields came from playing Avalon-Hill board games. Creating such a game must have been much more educational. Games like these are wonderful ways to learn details of a specific battle and how troops can be deployed from column into line of battle &c.

That being said, any rating which places the 3rd Arkansas below par for this brigade seems unreasonable to me. In my opinion, an elite rating for any Civil War regiment would be difficult to justify, but we'd have to know what factors the game designer considered to continue a reasonable discussion of this topic.

Turning this around, it would be easier to justify a rating of 'green' for a newly-recruited command going into action for this first time.
