1. It looks like Meagher's last name is mispelled on the spreadsheet.

2. I'm not sure about the 6 "stategic" rating....there isn't any evidence to suggest that he would have been anything more than average. In my opinion he should be dropped to a 3 here. Given the pugnacious nature of his Irish Brigade, I can agree with the "4" offensive rating. The Irish Brigade always seemed to be on the attack, so there's not much to support him being a tough defender. Consequently, I'd recommend a more average "2" for a defensive rating.

3. I like the "Reckless" trait considering his handling of the the Irish Brigade.

4. The argument could be made that he would be a good candidate for "Recruiting_Officer" (Can muster new conscripts on a regular basis in cities of level 5+. Must be in the city to do so). He was a major force in putting together the Irish brigade....I bet he would have been excellent at recruiting more Irish regiments if he'd had the opportunity to do this "full time."

As far as I can tell he saw no combat as a division commander. Those ratings seem way too high. 4|2|1 seems more than generous.

def should give him a recruiting bonus, but i agree with chris, very little combat experience-

what about 3-3/4-1? i don't see the reasoning for a 4 strat, but i can see a 4 for att given ricks arguments

WAIT....

something very important with all the Union CO's listed at the bottom of the file (Willich, Meagher and Co): these leaders will never be like other leaders on the map, instead they are built-in models within their special (flavor) Brigades and will never be detachable....if the brigade is eliminated, they will be removed from the game...

So their stats are ONLY here to give extra (and flavor) special abilities to their brigades...

Sorry I forgot to explain that

[frank7350]

so from 345-352 don't touch? or take that into consideration?

[PhilThib]

You can suggest amends...just take note these leaders will just not show up besides their own units and will have generic portraits (untill we get time to make one)
