The Great Divide (OOC/Open/PT)

[Somerania]

Character name: Andy Hakor
Rank:Lieutenant Colonel
Militia or Regular:Militia
Home states:Flordia
Side:Union
Age:27
Bio: Andy Hakor was almost as good as his brother in the military zone. When his brother was sent to West point, Andy went closer to home and graduated as a captain. He was sympathetic to the southern cause and was close to joining the rebels. But at the news of his brother possibly dead, he made a small battalion of 500 other men who were not ready to go up north with his brother. The men, coming from southern and central Florida, go down to the Everglades to start a guerilla campaign until they can be evacuated.

Andy in my opinion is too much of a 21st century name XD try Andrew

Ok speaking as the CO-OP everyone please, redo your military numbers, please considerably reduce your Military Numbers, I was running the calculations and the combined amount of everyone is at least 15 times more than the people currently living in that time.

Large armies ranged from 500-1k men
had 2-3 cannons, and 3-5 horsemen

small armies were 250-350
with 2-3 horse men

tiny armies or garrisons were 100-150
had 1 horseman, usually the leader

militia groups saw 15-35 people
very rarely had a horseman

Forts saw 25-45 people
had 2 - 4 cannons
fit 3-4 horsemen

Some Real Life Facts:

About 2.75 million soldiers fought in the Civil War — 2 million for the North and 750,000 for the South.
In July 1861, the two armies were nearly equal in strength with less than 200,000 soldiers on each side; however at the peak of troop strength in 1863, Union soldiers outnumbered Confederate soldiers by a ratio of 2 to 1. The size of Union forces in January 1863 totaled over 600,000

I'm pretty sur the army of the Potomac or of Northern Virginia had more than a thousand men

I'm pretty sure the army of the Potomac or of Northern Virginia had more than a thousand men

The ten divisions in the Army of the Potomac ranged in manpower by late 1861, from the largest at 14,900 men, to the smallest at 8,300, is still no where near 70-80 thousand.

In fact, the largest army in the Confederacy was single handedly the Army of Virginia sitting around 54,000 and 92,000 who ended up surrendering in 1865 despite the large number, probably due the inability to train such large numbers in a small time~

true

[Bolslania]

So yeah, Hospitiliars, myself, Serbia-Macebonia, and I think Mathuvan command entire armies

[Alegeharia]

I am a bit of civil war buff, if you are going to use the rl places, please please research the numbers and how your military breaks down, the generals and leaders might not be the same but your numbers will be, know what you have and dont have, if you choose to be an armys lead and if you have 10 divisions, you will have 10 leaders to rp out, with 3-4 brigade leaders to rp out, and 3-4 regiment leaders to rp out (granted none of them are player charcters). It is imperative to know cause these rl numbers between 1861-1865 will reflect your troop size, such as the army of potomacs total 10 divisons equaling to 112-120k soilders. That is a lot to rp out, but you chose that responsibility to become the leader so be prepared! Have fun now, and dont forget to dip your brass in pee.
