[Biography]

[b]752 Infantry[/b]:  Confederate line infantry drawn from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.  These men are meant to hold their positions in the face of enemy infantry and cavalry.  Their choice weapon is the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_1853_Enfield]1853 Enfield[/url].  Some of these men saw action at First Manassas, while the newer recruits have been seasoned at Second Manassas.

[b]150 Confederate Marines[/b]:  Elite, well-trained, and well-equipped infantry.  Formerly serving as United states Marines, these Southerners decided to join their home states during secession and now fight for the Confederacy.

[b]100 Skirmishers[/b]:  Those men living in the Appalachian Mountains are a special breed; their predecessors were paramount to the British rout at the Battle of Cowpens.  Equipped with [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitworth_rifle]Whitworth Rifles[/url], these light infantrymen can out-range and harass enemy positions, and are usually assigned to picket duty.

[b]8 Horse Artillery Guns, 32 Engineers[/b]:  Rumby's brigade has 8 guns, each with 4 engineers and drawn by four horses.  These guns are lighter than most other cannons, allowing them to be limbered and unlimbered, and transported quickly - essentially 'flying artillery'.  Brigadier General Rumby took the idea from John Pelham, one of JEB Stuart's most trusted artillerists.

[b]4 Howitzers, 16 Engineers[/b]:  These long-range howitzers fire long-range explosive shells at enemy positions.  They require 4 engineers for efficient use, and each has 4 horses for transport.  They're inaccurate, but can bombard enemy positions from afar and inflict terrible casualties when they make a hit.

[b]100 Mounted Rifles[/b]:  Otherwise known as 'mounted infantry', these light cavalrymen are armed with carbines, pistols, and cavalry sabres.  The Mounted Rifles can fire from horseback or dismount and fire on foot.  While they can charge and engage in melee, this is not their intended purpose and they will be outdone by enemy cavalry.  These men saw action on the western frontier, attempting to tame the Native Americans.

[b]50 Cherokee Mounted Rifles[/b]:  Similar in function to standard Confederate mounted rifle units, although this group is composed of strictly Cherokee natives.  These men are armed with carbines, pistols, and war axes native to the Cherokee tribes.

[b]300 Partisan Cavalry[/b]:  Men drawn from wealthy families across the American South, from Virginia to Texas.  Most of these men attended West Point, and a number of them served in the Mexican-American War.  These men wield sabres and cavalry revolvers, and are meant for close-quarters combat, flanking, pursuing fleeing enemies, and scouting.
