West Scenario

[Laernius]

I started the campaign starting in the West in '62 and I noticed that the army commanded by A.S. Johnston is the Army of Mississippi and not the Army of Tennessee. Just thought I'd let the developers know so they can put that on their cosmetic list.

AS Johnstons army was the Army of Mississippi, Bragg formed the Army of Tennessee prior to his invasion of Kentucky.

S!

Could you confirm what is right then, I am confused. I did the above change, should I reverse it ?

Army of Mississippi or Army of the Mississippi is correct. I was changed later.

Army of Mississippi (March 1862)

This army, at times known by the names Army of the West or Army of the Mississippi (the latter particularly at Shiloh), was one of the most important in the Western theater, with battles from Shiloh to Perryville. It was organized on March 5, 1862, and portions of the Army of Pensacola were added on March 13. It was consolidated with the Army of Central Kentucky and the Army of Louisiana on March 29. On November 20, 1862, it was renamed the Army of Tennessee.

Well, I just got told! Perhaps then the default army formed by A.S. Johnston should be the Army of Mississippi instead of Tennessee like it is in the grand campaign. Thanks for the info guys.
