We are just about too street a Longstreet campaign Here in Abu Dhabi. Here are the starting two Charactors…

Brigadier Harland Sanders ( Neil Bruce )

Harland Sanders was born into a wealthy family in Kentucky and grow up on his family Chicken farm. Enter West Point where his experiences with horses and the right political connections soon directed him to the Calvary (card : Cavalry officer). It was at West Point he met his great rival Ronald McDonald. They had a falling out over a meal in the canteen. It was well know by all at West Point that these two would find any reason to start a fight then they would. It was only the start of the war which stopped them both from being expelled from West point. Harland chose for the South and was soon give command of a Brigade in his state of Kentucky. Using his connection in the National Government (card: Political Savvy) he was posted to the same area of operation as his rival McDonald.

His brigade consisted of the following regiments,

5th Kentucky regiment
6th Kentucky regiment
7th Kentucky regiment
1st Kentucky horse regiment
Salts Kentucky battery

All of his men were eager recruits at the start of the war.

Brigadier Ronald McDonald (John Csonka)

Ronald McDonald early year was spent on his Families cattle ranch out west. Ronald had a poor constitution and spent many days in bed with ill health.( card: Personal Physician) He had a short fuse with his temper and was always taking up the cause of the underdog which got him into trouble with the law on many occasion. His family sent him to West Point with the hope that him would make an orderly man out of him. Within a short time he met his long standing rival in Harland Sanders, a southerner who stood for what Ronald thought was all wrong with America. During the time he spent at West Point Ronald would clash with Sanders over Slavery (Card: Leading Abolitionist) and Food and any other topic which they could disagree on. It was only the start of the war which stopped them both from being expelled from West point. Ronald automatically choose the opposite of Sanders which was the North. It was his fighting spirit that got him command of his Brigade.

His brigade consisted of the following regiments,

• 10th New York.
• 77th Ohio.
• 104th Ohio.
• 3rd New York cavalry regiment.
• Hansbruggers Ohio Battery.

All of his men were eager recruits at the start of the war.

I will mail the first Battle 1861 and let you know how it went.
