In Response To: Re: Gods and Generals ()

I could easily nitpick as well, but compared to almost everything that has gone before, it is superb. In Jackson's farewell to the old Stonewall Brigade, he refers to the Corps, though the ANV didn't have a corps structure until after Jackson's death, in fact because of Jackson's death. One RR scene shows a Western and Atlantic locomotive and others a Virginia and Truckee - they could have at least repainted them for a local line. Probably too many company and other flags from Fredericksburg onward. ANV regimental flags (St. Andrew's Cross Square flags) improperly flown over tents and facilities. Probably too many bright Springfields in CS hands. Probably too many PACS troops carrying too much stuff into battle, but it does look good. The fire from behind the stone wall at Marye's Hill was much too undisciplined, but not many re-enactors can do a WBTS manual of arms, and almost none could do it at the rate that veteran troops of the time could do it. But who but people like we who read boards like this would know any of that? Deo Vindice, Art
