1. What do the different background colours for the Federal units signify?

2. What determines the command cost for infantry brigades? It seems to range from 1 to 3 (the manual says 4, but I haven't seen that).

I searched the manual and the board for answers, but couldn't find them.

BTW is "hated occupant" correct? Shouldn't it be "occupier"? Occupant to me sounds like someone who lives in a room or house, not someone who occupies a city or state with military force. But of course English isn't my mother tongue.

Thanks!

1. navy blue for marines and sailors, light cyan blue for volunteers, 'regular' blue for the army.

2. They only cost 3 at most, 4 are for divisions. Generally its 1 CP per element in the brigade, up to 3 CP. Sometime the CSA get a little bonus there (I think some of their 3 elements brigade cost only 2 IIRC).

Most of the elite "Strong Morale" brigades you get by event have a reduced CP cost...some as low as "0".

As such, I'm torn whether to put them in a division or not. Pro: Gives the whole division the Strong Morale trait. Con: You basically lose the CP discount, as it's elements that stack up to 18 in a div, not CPs.

Thank you, Gentlemen.

I'm pretty certain I've seen at least one 4 Command brigade (7 Regiments/Batteries for 4 Command, which is pretty good). Though I'm not sure which unit or even which side.

must be the big VA brigade with 7 elements then
