Each regiment has its listed stats from the start of the war.

Also included in the book are Notes and Special Rules that apply specifically to the War. Notes covering Stands in the Army Tables, Flying Artillery and Legion Units and Special Rules covering Legion Units, Weapons Smoke, Grenades, Land Mines, and Observation Balloons.

Finally, the original American BattleLines Army Tables are included for those who still like to generate their own units and the extensive Bibliography that was used to prepare this work. These pages are included in two appendices in the back of the book.

Overall, ODGW has tried to include everything that the player needs to generate any battle fought during the American Civil War and hopes that you enjoy the book!
