http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Brigade
Interesting unit....All regiments were recruited from Philadelphia but were designated the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th California (formed and originally commanded by Oregon Senator Edward Baker). After the Battle of Ball's Bluff in Octorber 1861, Pennsylvania claimed the regiments and renamed them the 69th, 71st, 72nd, and 106th PA. (So I guess for the purpose of this game, for all scenarios after 10/61, the brigade should be known as the "Philadelphia Brigade")
1862
03/62 starting location: Northern VA, or on the Peninsula, depending on when in March you start the scenario
Order of Battle: 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, II Corps, Army of the Potomac
1863
03/63 starting location: Falmouth, VA **
Order of Battle: 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, II Corps, Army of the Potomac
1864
03/64 starting location: Culpeper, VA **
Order of Battle: 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, II Corps, Army of the Potomac
* 152nd NY also part of the brigade at this point
(Brigade broken up on June 22, 1864)
** Somebody should double check me, to make sure II Corps was at these locations
