Hi Worsham. I know what I would have done, but Jeff Davis was West Point aristocracy, so would not have done any thing as radical.
I think after failing to take Knoxville, Longstreet was no longer flavour of the month, so he who helped win Chickamauga would have to be discounted. He was needed with his Eadtern Corps to save the day in the Wilderness. He was much missed and needed back there.
Cleburne would have been an excellent anti establishment choice. He had the necessary respect within his own corps, but he would have had to jump two ranks. I would have given the job to him. He would have allieviated the manpower problem by arming the slaves too. (Not sure Forrest would have stoic for that.)
Forrest too would have done a great job, but again he was far too junior in rank. He would have required a staff that he respected and who could explain logistics to him.(He would have understood, given his civilian background, I think.) He would probably have had to duel half the generals though! I think I would leave him as a Cavalry commander, but promote him to its head, above Wheeler.
Into the motherland the german army march!!!!

Here’s a link, music video from Sabaton
Soft metal, really good
Panzerkampf
-
That’s awesome! I’m going to check out this band
-
Ahh. You beat me to making a Sabaton thread. Anyone who likes what they hear should check out their recent release, “Coat of Arms”. The song Midway is my favorite from that album.
-
Yeah didn’t heard about the new album, very nice one. Midway is very nice like you said.
-
Not to diss on the band or anything… but they sound a bit over the top to me.
I mean, I love history and all, especially WWII, but this is a little more than I can bear. If that first link is anything like the rest of their music… they are just too obvious for me. Besides I don’t really go for the Metal stuff anyway.
