Hi everyone, while working on my wargame, I thought about the rearrangements that occurred before Chancellorsville and Gettysburg on the Confederate side and I would like to ask if, in your opinion, Confederate Army Corps with three divisions (let say two to three consolidated brigades each) would be sound, quite stupid or nevertheless extremely difficult to create ?
I suggest therefore some examples of consolidated units (by states) for the ANV, January-March 1863 :
Georgia Brigades, Longstreet's Corps (18 units) = dissolution of Wofford's Brigade to consolidate the three others.
1) Brig-Gen. Paul J. Semmes
- - - 10th/50th/51st/53rd Georgia
- - - 16th/24th Georgia (from Wofford's Brigade)
2) Brig-Gen. George T. Anderson
- - - 7th/8th/9th/11th/59th Georgia
- - - Cobb's Georgia Legion (from Wofford's Brigade)
3) Brig-Gen. William T. Wofford / Henry L. Benning
- - - 2nd/15th/17th/20th Georgia
- - - 18th Georgia (from Wofford's Brigade)
- - - Phillips' Georgia Legion (from Wofford's Brigade)
Alabama - Tennessee Brigades, both Corps (20 units) = dissolution of Archer's Brigade to consolidate the three others.
1) Brig-Gen. Robert E. Rodes
- - - 3rd/5th/6th/12th/26th Alabama
- - - 13th Alabama (from Colquitt's Brigade)
- - - 5th Alabama Battalion (from Archer's Brigade)
2) Brig-Gen. Cadmus M. Wilcox
- - - 8th/9th/10th/11th/14th Alabama
- - - 15th Alabama (from Trimble's Brigade)
3) Brig-Gen. Evander M. Law / James J. Archer
- - - 4th/44th Alabama
- - - 47th/48th Alabama (from Taliaferro's Brigade)
- - - 1st/7th/14th Tennessee (from Archer's Brigade)
