French commanded a brigade during the Peninsula Campaign of 1862. From there he went on to command the third division of the II Corps during the battles of Antietam, Fredricksburg, and Chancellorsvillle. He was moved out of the Army of the Potomac briefly, but took command of the III Corps after Gettysburg. Meade accused him of being too slow, and he left the volunteer army after the III Corps was reorganized out of the Army of the Potomac.

I would suggest 2/1/1 or 3/1/1 with the addition of "Slow_Move" if you want some extra flavor.
