I think if he needs to plug gaps anywhere it's the artillery section, we only have one guy in that unit

When I did the charge, I thought the confederates were still firing and not charging.

Guys, pleasepleasepleaseplease stop acting erratically.


The civil war was fought by large blocks of soldiers, this wild charging was very rare and often incredibly high in casualties.

[Barfleur]

[Tranzoria]

Sure! Just use the requirements to fill out the App and the OP, Bolslania, will accept it, and your in! We're about 2 days Antietam.

[Nihonjan]

Ok Bolsania. I didn't know that. I guess I've watched too many movies.

[Nihonjan]

I was thinking that if, if we continue after Antietam, that in one of the skirmishes, I get captured.

[Tranzoria]

Yeah, that could be cool. We could maybe break you out or something.

[Nihonjan]

Yeah liek there would be a rescue mission because I was carrying an important message.

[Tranzoria]

Yeah liek there would be a rescue mission because I was carrying an important message.

Or maybe just captured in battle.
And just when those Dixies thought they were safe, a horse comes flying through the trees!

[Nihonjan]

Yeah!

I'm not a very seasoned RPer, but here goes.

Name: Hugh Finnegan
Age: 34
Rank: Captain
Unit: Battery L, 1st New York Artillery
Weapon: 6" Napoleons (battery), Colt M1860 Army (personal)
Position (Flag Bearer, Loader, Gunner, Trooper, Drummer ): Officer
Bio (optional): Born in County Galway, Ireland in 1827, Finnegan was one of eleven siblings, of whom six reached adulthood. In 1844, as a 17-year-old, he enlisted in the British Army, "taking the Queen's shilling" to earn more money than he could working his family's small plot of land. After three years service in the Royal Artillery, Finnegan was discharged and decided to move to America with his sister and nephew. In New York City's rough Five Points neighborhood, he found work as a longshoreman, and made sure to stay away from the gangs ravaging the area. But a sense of adventure drove him to join the United States Army, which was finishing a war with Mexico. Though he arrived to late to see conflict, he took part in the occupation of Mexico City. He remained in the Army when the war ended, achieving a lieutenant's commission in 1858 and a promotion in 1861, as a wave of Southern officers resigned to fight for the Confederacy. Now commanding an artillery battery, Captain Finnegan is eager to go to war.

I figured we needed AT LEAST one. And thanks, Nihonjan!

[Tranzoria]

This RP is amazing. One it's done, I could just do a reboot over on the Vicksburg Front.

[Nihonjan]

That's what I was thinking.
