We are now in the 1862 Maryland Campaign, in which we are in general on the defensive. Two smaller battles(on the same day), require 9 and 20 brigades. This will be followed up by Antietam, which has a higher brigade limit than 2nd Bull Run(which we had more than enough more men for) at 100(we have 60 right now). III Corps is by far the strongest right now, and will take at least one of these battles on if not both. It's been an extremely busy, and up-and-down year, in the war. That's now drawing to a close, one way or the other.

Army Organization(6) -- Increase the maximum size of the army. We currently have a max of 3 Corps, 4 Divisions, 5 Brigades, and 2000/Brigade. The first point would upgrade to 2500/Brigade; the second would add a 4th Corps. So we definitely have the option to keep growing -- or to improve what we already have.

Logistics(1) -- Increase starting ammunition from +5% to +10% or 15% for all brigades.
**
Reconnaissance(4) -- Currently we know the enemy army size going in real-time, and what Corps/Division/Brigade we are facing. The next level will give us more detail on the individual units they are fielding, described the game only as 'partial info', whatever that means.
First Two-Pointer to decide on in a while -- enter your votes!. For anyone who's curious, we sit at $277k funding, almost 24k in recruits. That's enough to handle another Corps if we decide to go that route.
