Since I received excellent replies on my last question, here is another.
What do Union players do with all the regular units that begin the war out west?
Do any really need to be retained out in California? Seems like the California Column is plenty to secure the Southwest
Does it make sense to walk back East? Or wait until the Pacific Fleet activates?
What do you guys do with them?

Never played the Union.
Are they any good? If they are experienced i would move some to build divisions around them.

I've not got far enough in a campaign game to say for sure (playing around with opening gambits), but having played the Sibley scenario a few times, I'd say keep them out there. There are VP/NM cities in the region and if you pull the garrison it could cost you.

I agree leave em out there. Texas has some very powerful brigades it can build and if you strip CA of units you may find yourself losing the west coast pretty quickly to a Texas led invasion coming through Arizona.
