It seems I'm a little TOO active on this particular forum. None the less I present my case. Where is John E. Wool? the oldest General on either side during the war to commit to ACTIVE duty. Born 1784 died 1869. Commander of the Middle Department. Commander of forces around the tidewater of Virginia (Norfolk, Fort Monroe, Hampton Roads, Suffolk etcetera). Dealt with New York city draft riots.

Possibly omitted to avoid arguments over seniority with McClellan?

Thus why he got his own department the "Middle States Department"

No problem then. (He should only be a 2-star)

You know, the Union has a lot more generals represented than the CSA.
There are also large discrepancies in the orders of battle. The Union in most cases has 100% of units raised in the northern sates vs. much lower number for the south.
The Union never runs short of leaders at any time during the war. Do you really think the south did?
It is good to have detailed research but it should apply evenly to both sides.
If we can get some more leaders, it might be good to even out the lists.
Like Thomas J. Churchill or JO Shelby maybe?

I've always suspected that the T. Church in the Confederate generals list is really Tom Churchill
S!
ps: My impression in CW2 is that availability of leaders is now much more important because there isnt any other restriction on the number of divisions, I like to see some more generals too but the proportion Union/Confederate has to be kept in mind.

I see. We should have more Jo Shelby and the like.

I hope the leaders and OOBs are opened for future patches.
