First of all, it looks like you have John Sedgwick's last name mispelled in the spreadsheet (sorry, I know...minor detail).

Secondly, I would recommend that you consider giving "Uncle John" the "Slow Move" or "Over Cautious" trait as a Corps commander. In one of his few chances to show any agressiveness as a semi-independent commander, durring the Chancellorsville campaign he was slow to get his vastly-superior forces in moticn to attack Jubal Early in front of Fredricksburg.

Over cautious probably fits better than slow mover. Other than that he was a solid general. Perhaps you could lower his strategic rating instead of giving him the cautious ability. His other ratings are fine. Perhaps he could get charismatic as well. He was well liked by both his men and his fellow officers.

I was technically wrong to say McPherson was the highest ranking union officer to be killed. He and Sedgwick were both major generals but Sedgwick's date of rank was earlier. However Sedgwick was a corps commander while McPherson commanded the Army of the Tennessee.

New proposition:

274 USA John Sedgwick ldr_USA_Sedgewick2 $Good_Admin_Army $Overcautious NULL NULL 4 4 2 19 General 1 NULL 3 2 2
299 USA John Sedgwick ldr_USA_Sedgewick $Good_Admin_Army $Overcautious NULL NULL 4 4 1 10 General 1 NULL 3 2 2

Is there any evidence to suggest that Sedgwick was overcautious as a division commander?

Not that I am aware of.
