    Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, and Illinois(I believe, this could just be me rooting for my home state).

    And I had a thought. Start it at the begining of the Mexican-American war(1840's), bringing Mexico into the game better. Also you need Canada, not as Canada but as part of the British Empire which was well powerful at the time. And end the game in 1893 with the start of the Spanish-American war(mabey even add the Carribean islands like Cuba).

    Yeah but thats a 40 year campaign.
    How about this, change the year to 1 and the year thing to say "Months since January 1840" or somthing like that. Then use the Version 2.1 command line to change the generals dying ages to like 600 (600 months thats 60 years service)

    The Iron Brigade is from Wisconsin and, the 82nd Airborne uses their mascot "old abe."

    I would say that Mexican infantry shouldn't be classified as weak, I remember reading a Texas Ranger after the Mexican war claiming he would never call a Mexican a coward again. Mexican troops weren't bad but, they suffered mostly from poor senior leadership, a way to reflect this would be to give them lower skills but, a higher valor level.

    Here's a listing of all the generals that were given brevet promotions,

    The only problem I see with Capos list of Union genrals is the exclusion of Phillip Sherridan.
