Looking for brigade strengths for the various battles online. I found a good one on Gettysburg that listed each brigade and how many men were in each brigade at the start of the battle. Does anyone know of a good online source for such information? |

Not an online source, but the multi volume work "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War" contains an awful lot of detailed information about unit strengths at many ACW battles. |

Find a brigade level wargame on the battle. Unit strengths tend to be based on the number of men in the unit. So well documented of a battle should not be hard. Scenario books for miniature systems like Johnny Reb or across Deadly Ground should have them. I have seen them |

Wikipedia has a lot of them. Check the rosters for the various games from The GAmers – the had a whole range of them. |

If you can lay your hands on the Eastern and Western Battles books by "Fire and Fury" they would have alot of that information, and all of it well researched. |
