Duplicate British Regiments

[joe]

I was comparing the regiments in the full campaign games and noticed the following:

63rd Foot initial at Boston
63rd Foot again in May 1775 reinf

45th Foot initial in Great Plains
45th Foot again in May 1775 reinf

49th Foot initial in May 1775 reinf
49th Foot again in Dec 1776 reinf

I suppose it's possible these are just two battalions of the same regiments arriving at different times but I'm not sure.

Looking forward to the up coming patch.

Thanks

I'll check this...indeed most of these regiments were having only 2 battaillons in North America....and the complements were sent from home during the AWI...

At the start of the 1862 campaign there is a colored brigade in Pennsylvania. Although the Union began to enlist blacks in some colored units during 1862, I do not believe there were any separate units, and certainly not of brigade strength, in March when the campaign begins. After the fall of New Orleans in 1862 the Lousiana Native Guards were mustered into Union service, and I think they were the first officially sanctioned black regiment. The Cincinnati Black brigade was mustered into service in September 1862. They served as labor troops in Kentucky and had no weapons issued to them.
