Name: Juan Martinez
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Faction: Union
Rank: Brigadier General
Describe your forces (Ie. What regiments is it composed of, which rifle are they using, type of unit): 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 38th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 15th Ohio Infantry Regiment, 13th Infantry Regiment, 1st West Virginia Cavalry Regiment; infantry uses the Springfield Model 1861 musket, cavalry uses Spencer carbines
Bio (at least 1 or 2 paragraphs): Juan Martinez is a descendant of wealthy Spanish immigrants to the United States. His father was a Spanish military commander in the Mexican War of Independence. Following Spain's defeat, his father fled with his wife to New York City, New York, where they decided to stay instead of returning to Spain. Martinez was born in 1822 and raised there. He had the privilege of going to a prestigious private school in the city. When he reached the age of 18, Martinez decided to follow in his father's footsteps and join the United States Army. He trained at West Point and graduated in 1843 as a second lieutenant. Despite proving to be one of the best riders in his class he was assigned to the infantry. However, when the Mexican-American War broke out, he was reassigned to the cavalry. He led a unit of cavalry during the Mexican-American War, participating in the charge into northern Mexico. He then joined the US forces that landed at Veracruz and took Mexico City. His actions earned him a promotion to first lieutenant. After the war, he rose through the ranks, commanding various infantry units, participating in the American Indian Wars, until reaching brigadier general. He was also an abolitionist, already having fought against pro-slavery settlers during the events of Bleeding Kansas. A northerner, he refuses an offer to join the Confederate States Army in 1861 for his military experience, and goes to organize forces to raid coastal Confederate cities.
Notes: Musket. Also, can the commanders receive promotions during this rp from their respective presidents?

Yeah. I was here for a long time. This is my way of coming back to PT2M

Name: john townsend
Age: 55
Gender: male
Faction: union
Rank: commander
Describe your forces(Ie. What regiments is it composed of, which rifle are they using, type of unit): 69th new York infantry, mostly armed with British Enfield rifles
Bio (at least 1 or 2 paragraphs): Born in 1806, in a potato farm in Ireland.Townsend was just a average boy, attending school, going to church, and helping his father with the potato harvest. In 1845, when the potato famine hit, townsend (mistaking the rather bad harvest of potatoes as a sign of impending doom) immediately took a ship to America.

After the plague, townsend was living in new York city , working as a shopkeepers assistant. He despised his job, but Townsend needed it for his small home, barely scraping by. John decided that he had enough of his terrible workplace, and did his patriotic duty by joining the army, he was 32 years old. Ending up in the 69th new york infantry regiment, John made it through training, and was known as the most aggressive and one of the most respected person in the entire regiment. When it was time to practicea bayonet ccharge, john was the one who charged at the straw dummies first, when it was time to fire their rifles at targets, john was always one step ahead, even presenting his rifle before his officer even ordered him to do so. Perhaps it was this aggressiveness that, in a few years time. Won him command of the 69th. Ready to face any threat that comes his way
Or so he thought
Notes: john is a extremely aggressive individual, often ordering bayonet charges and moving his men dangerously close to the enemy positions in order to inflict more casualties on his foe. Because of this, the 69th constantly needs reinforcements in order to replace his casualties. The 69th also has a tendency to face the enemy head on,because as john says "ambushes are for cowards, I would rather fight the enemy head on, like a man", along with this, John is also personally leading the 69th, doing said dangerous maneuvers with his men, charging atthe foe with said men meaning that he has a higher probability to die in combat. But hey, on The bright side, a commander who charges along side his fellow troops is sure to win him some respect among his ranks, probably.

You should add musket in notes to be accpeted to show you read the rules. And also what rank of commander? Captrain, Major, Colonel, Brigaider Gener?

At the beginning of the war brigades that mixed Infantry indeed weren't exactly rare, however I would suggest switching this up as the war progresses as it is an inefficient system.

If he was born in 1822 and went to west point at 18 his graduation year would be 44 not 43.

"Participating in the charge into northern mexico" - What? What does this mean, he lead a succesful charge in one of the battles in General Taylors campaign, he was in general taylors army in northern mexico? This is unclear.

I don't see why the CSA would even offer him a position in the army for him to refuse, a staunch abolitionist and northerner to boot.

Denied

Please read the rules.

Also,

In peace time the military of the united states was rather small, so there would most likely be no "69th New York" until the war began.

A Irish recruit going from normal soldier to commander in such a short period with no battles to warrant a battlefield commission is so unprecedented its ridiculous, so that is another problem.

John is known for his aggressive maneuvers against the foe is he? Which foe has he fought to test these maneuvers out? The indians? Mexicans? You mention neither

Edit: Oh and yeah the worst part, commander is a naval rank

Also, what do you mean "mixed infantry'?

[New Antarcticania]

I believed by 'mixed' he meant 'combined arms', meaning that his division uses a variety of weapons

[Revlona]

10-4, let me know when its cleared up and I'll take another look

Also, what do you mean "mixed infantry'?

Ah sorry, that was supposed to say "Mixed infantry with cavalry"

By the end of the wars first year (really by the end of the first battles) brigades were made up of one type of unit, Infantry, Cavalry, or Artillery.

Mixed units of Infantry and Cavalry were definitely a thing in the opening stages of the war however it was decided to be an inefficient system and the switch was made near universally

[Revlona]

Close

A lot of southern units didn't have a uniform rifle (though the round usually was unfiform, be it .69 or any other) since most southerners brought their own rifles

Artillery was almost always kept independent of the Cavalry and Infantry

So my suggestion is to either make it all infantry or to keep what you currently have and potentially look to change it, because as I said the system was used some i the beginning of the war.

Hey Langenia, where will your Brigadier General be stationed

[Langenia]

Hey Langenia, where will your Brigadier General be stationed

I was thinking he might ask Abe for a fleet, take some coastal cities, then go up the Mississippi, take Vicksburg, then join the Army of Tennessee.
