Perhaps a Union regiment that wears the coats as seen in the movie Gods and Generals.  ;D

That was the 69th New York. Are you talking about the part where the Union army attacks Fredericksburg?

The attack on Mayre's Heights aye by the various brigades. I believe if i'm not mistaken it was the 28th Massachusets but i don't know too much about it.

No, I'm telling you it was the 69th New York, because it was. There was a caption as they were marching through the dead body filled streets. "69th New York Volunteers, Irish Brigade"

You're correct but also mistaken. The 69th New York participated aswell as the other regiments in the Irish Brigade. Just scanned through the scene in the film again but cannot find a caption of that sort.

In the movie, the regiment that the camera is closest to is the 28th Mass. They were the only ones with a green flag that day and you can clearly see the flag in the movie. However, St Claire Mulholland was the col of the 116th PA. So the movie is "interesting" in the fact that they have the col of the 116th PA leading the entire brigade while in front of the 28th Mass. In reality, it was his(and the 116th) first battle, the 116th was all the way on the left flank which is where he most likely was,  and General Meagher led the brigade for most of the charge until he went back to get his horse.

The brigade's battle line from left to right was: 116thPA, 63rdNY, 28MA, 88NY. 69NY

The 28th was in the center because they had the only green flag.

THE 58th New York Polish Regiment Please do us Polish a Great favour. 58th contributed to Gettysberg AS UNION!!

Not going to happen. They're putting in regiment that were well known during the Gettysburg Campaign.
wearent you wanting the 33rd NEw jersey. They were not even raised at the time of gettysburg plus served in the west.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Well, since you say rifle, I assume you would imply rifled weapons, which is essentially every gun in the mod, currently. And, this has been requested of Hinkel many times, except it would absolutely break the game in the sense that there would no longer be any skill in shooting if the accuracy was improved further.

A Civil War Mexican zombies game-mode where you shoot Gatling guns from a giant elephant helicopter while wearing a redcoat would be a pretty fun game-mode, just sayin'!  :D
