Woah! Weird synchronicity! Two days ago I read an article in Military
History
Quarterly about James Longstreet. He distinguished himself in the
Mexican-American War, he was an excellent corps commander (arguably,
though),
but whenever he had an independent command he was less than impressive.
This
is true of a good deal of commanders. And some rise to the occasion when
they
DO command a large contingent. Sherman was, arguably, a better corps and
army
commander than regimental commander.

This has me thinking of some interesting campaign ideas for SG2 and DS2.
Hmmm...
