Yeah sure. I guess that would be easier. 5,000 men...that's around the size of a large brigade.
So if you're wondering, it goes down like this:
Army (Army of Northern Virginia) - the main ones had around 160,000 men
Corps (AP Hill's Corp) - around 26,000 men
Division (Anderson's Division) - around 9,000 men
Brigade (Wright's Brigade) - around 3,000 men
Regiment (3rd Georgia Infantry) - about 1,000 soldiers
Company (Company B: Brown Rifles) - about 100 soldiers
Soldier (John A. Hawkins, my great-great-great-great grandfather)
These aren't exact, and during the war, nothing was exact. In one instance there might be only two units in a brigade whereas in another there would be five. So yeah, we could each command a brigade during separate battles.  MS/WO2 Rhycus 'Echelon' Bandoran/Warden-class light cruiser Duty/TF:TH/3Flt/VENA/VEN/VE

Hmm. Why not a division? I think that's be big enough.
Edit: ignore that. Your leading it, you make the decision. I'm just glad to be doing this TRP/SSG Heliwer/2SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE

A division might actually be a bit better as it'd allow us to split forces and all. I had just randomly chosen 5,000 for my suggestion. SL/CPL Crest/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE

It may be awhile before I begin this story because I've got the ESC, my Ship Captain Training Program, and I'm going to Shakespeare day camp for the next week.
Until then, begin developing your division, and perhaps a particular soldier in this division. Maybe give the Division General a name, and make his brigades. Which states are they from. etc, etc. MS/WO2 Rhycus 'Echelon' Bandoran/Warden-class light cruiser Duty/TF:TH/3Flt/VENA/VEN/VE

Seeing as we're mostly army people in this, it would be probably be a very good idea postpone this to the end of the ESC...like you're already doing. SL/CPL Crest/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE

Hey, don't count me out! I would still love to partisipate in this marvelous event. If I can still choose I side, I'm going with the Union (as my ancestors did), however, if an Irish legion is involved, I would love to be part of that. Reason: Most of my Family is Irish.
Also, I will cast a vote for medival RP as our next story. However, I think that after that Something like WWII RP would be awsome. Fear is just an excuse for someone who is to lazy to take action. Bravery is a fools excuse for running at something without taking time to think or strategize. Courage is being able to man up and face a problem, no matter how large or difficult it may be, and take it down. TRP/PSC HammerHead/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE/
