Doing research for a home brew campaign. I can't seem to find the detailed strengths of the Iron Brigade at South Mountain and Antietam. Web pages talk about losses and brigade strengths but not of each regiments strengths. I would appreciate a point in the right direction or a link. |

For other units, since Larry and pziv covered what you need, I would suggest the game 'A Gleam of Bayonets'. Part of the SPI/TSR Great Battles of the Civil War system. Units are regiments and gives the armament and rounds the unit to the nearest 100 men. link |
