[xmas2]

As confederate in my last game vs. IA, I had in 1863:

Army of Potomac near Santa Fe,
Army of Shenandoah in MA theatre,
Army of Mississipi in New Mexico ... etc.

This is a claim not important in game mechanic, but in game historical I would to choice the correct name for every army.

Armies and prominent leaders

The CSA was composed of independent armies and military departments that were constituted, renamed, and disbanded as needs arose, particularly in reaction to offensives launched by the Union. These major units were generally named after states or geographic regions (in comparison to the Union's custom of naming armies after rivers). Armies were usually commanded by full generals (there were seven in the CSA) or lieutenant generals. Some of the more important armies and their commanders were:

Army of Northern Virginia — Joseph E. Johnston, Gustavus W. Smith, Robert E. Lee commanding

You can change army names to your liking at your whimsy by taking out the army command alt+left clicking on the other stack's tab and thus renaming the army when you add the army commander back into the stack.
