I feel as if your rather diminishing the role of cavalry. Yes at the battle the Union composed a mere 5 companies and the 1st VA was all the confederates could field, I get that. I understand from a purely historical point its not necessary, however from a game play perspective it severely limits the role cav can take. Given good men (Which I admit can be a rarity) the Union cav is tied down to melee assaults because its shooting is crap and the confederates to ranged engagements because their horses are fragile. However imagine the the Union having the US mounted rifles, able to employ completely different tactics and challenging confederate leadership. Or confederates having cav equipped with only pistols, but everyone gets a pistol. New units like these would allow new tactics to be utilized. I understand they weren't at the battle, but frankly accuracy has to take a backseat to game play and adding units that employed later war tactics into the game not only makes things more interesting and attracts new players, it also increases game play variability allowing interest to hold longer and therefore better hold on to the audience that already plays the mod.
