Because I'm a history nerd.

Chicago learned its lesson in 1871 when a fire engulfed City of Chicago because a fat cow kicked a lantern. So the fire lasted 3 days destroying everything. Which is why Chicago is well reputated for architure because the mayor hired many architural genius and pioneers in skyscrapers to rebuild the city. We learned our lesson and rolling with steel and brick.

Rest of America still hasn't learned anyway.

I will try to get a photo of my CS impression up today or tomorrow.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

If I may make some suggestions Millander. Flip your US box plate upside down if you can and get a different belt buckle. Honestly if you have a US buckle just flip it upside down. Thats what they did throughout the entire war. Thats what I have done. The buckle you have is a AOT thing not ANV. Maybe weather your hat a little and make it so your haversack is as high as your canteen is in this picture. Its so much more comfortable for marches, which based on all my previous nationals as Confederates are quite long or we just stand around for a long time. Im just a farb nazi when it comes to those things but overall looks great.
