** Note: Out of necessity things are going to work a little differently this time. To get the numbers out there, we won't have any funds available for a lot of brigades. Unless you are particularly low on manpower or in one of the new units, you're going to be pretty much stuck with what you have. If you're looking for something expensive, feel free to use this opportunity to keep it to yourself

I Corps
Wagner's Division
Race's Brigade
Col. Gregory Race is at 99%. A hair away from his promotion.
Alter Ego:
Coffee Warlord
Men: 772
Experience: **, 14% to ***
Perks: Endurance Course, Marksman Training
Efficiency: 57(+7)
Morale: 68(+3)
Stamina: 59(+2)
Firearms: 75(+5)
Melee: 25
Weapon: Springfield M1855
You may be eligible for a fairly small amount of rookies: we've got a few hundred M1855s to spread throughout the army, and you can take on up to 92 and still retain your ** status. Numbers are low but others are worse off; division-mate Trimble is at less than 500 right now for example.
Scales's Brigade
Col. Wade Scales has a shiny new rank, and is 7% of the way to getting his General's star.
Alter Ego:
Qwikshot
Gun Crews: 15
Experience: **, 29% to ***
Perks: Physical Training, Tactical Training
Efficiency: 58(+1)
Morale: 91(+3)
Stamina: 62(+1)
Firearms: 84(+4)
Melee: 14
Weapon: 10pdr Ordnance
Pretty simple here. You don't need any reinforcements, and a new crew would cost over $5k what with us not having any spare guns of your type. That won't be forthcoming. So sit back and enjoy the show. Oh, and congrats on making full Colonel!
Durrell's Division
Col. Rafael Durrell appears to be roughly 90% of the way to getting his general's star. That could happen as we return to Bull Run.
Alter Ego:
ntndeacon
Col. Kemper -- 476 infantry(Lorenz, **, 15%)
Maj. Hoke -- 1331 infantry(Springfield M1842, green, 85%)
Lt. Col. Pease -- 960 infantry(Re-Bored Farmer, green, 92%)
Col. Birney -- 423 carbine cavalry(Smith, *, 83%)
We've got 200+ Lorenz and 100 Smith weapons available. Nobody else uses those, so you should see some growth in those units(vets for Birney, rookies for Kemper). Go ahead and up in your two cents here, but that's likely to be the extent of it. We won't have any spare guns for the others, and they're sitting better in terms of men than some units.
Seymour's Brigade
Lt. Col. Walter Seymour, like Race, just narrowly didn't get promoted. 98% of the way to full Colonel.
Alter Ego:
DavidCorperial
Gun Crews: 16
Experience: **, 14% to ***
Perks: Logistics, Gunnery Training
Efficiency: 47(+3)
Morale: 84(+3)
Stamina: 52(+2)
Firearms: 91(+5)
Melee: 16
Weapon: 12pdr Napoleon
Continues to be the most accurate artillery in the Army. A dozen replacement men are needed. Since we still have a few spare Napoleons, you can add one more(rookie crew) while still retaining the second star, 1or stand pat, as you prefer.
Loomis's Division
Col. Adam Loomis was tending the supply lines or somesuch nonsense and hasn't been in a battle in quite some time. Still roughly halfway to his star.
Alter Ego:

** Col. Moody -- 1553 Infantry(Springfield M1855, *, 63%). Finally got the requested weapon upgrade last time. And then didn't get to use it. Yet.
** Gen. York -- 1341 Infantry(Harpers Ferry M1855, **, 0%).
** Lt. Col. Pease -- 2000 Infantry(Springfield M1842, *, 0%).
** Lt. Col. Gary -- 1786 Infantry(Springfield M1842, green, 58%).
** Gen. Wright -- 19 Artillery(12pdr Napoleon, *, 82%)
At least relatively speaking, this division is looking about as good as any in the Army. With resources needed more elsewhere, I don't expect anything to be available here.
II Corps
Nobody left here right now.
III Corps
Baldwin's Brigade
Lt. Col. Bryan Baldwin is wounded; Wade Siegfried is the caretaker.

Maxed-out until something changes.
Present now your orders for 2nd Bull Run. Comparatively there won't be a lot to do but all feedback and suggestions are always welcome. There are only 4 ablebodied officers in the Barracks; we'll need 18, not counting one replacement so we'll be using them all and generating a bunch of new ones. I'll let you know who that affects when I get to it. We'll have a bunch healing up after this though, so we should be ok if we don't get a bunch more shot up.
