Are we using the re-deployment option? I'd like to get Johnston into Bowling Green turn 1.

As far as re-deployment goes...Prez can control that. Just let us know what's goin' on.
I saw Div. HQ.....are we not using patch 1.09e that excludes those?

WV is very risky I think. Not in and of itself, but for the reason that there is one rail connection for us and it runs into Harper's Ferry. If we lose HF, that's gonna be a long walk through crappy terrain for those men to get back home.
If it's me, I would give Smith a bde and that's all. No wagons, just a bde to cause some trouble with. I would try to get to Grafton, but if not, just cut all the rails between there and HF. If he runs into trouble getting home, he can forage his way back and he will be better than any commander they can put in his way at that point of the game. I think Jackson is too valuable, particularly if we want to hold HF for any amount of time.
If your initial plan is to hold from HF, Jackson+Beauregard is our best bet, and I would get them more men asap.
