Looks like you had alot of fun with the game.
May I ask, how big was the battle?
Division vs division. Corp vs corp.

@ Marine0846 - Thanks for the question!
Both sides had a Corps.
The Union had 3 Divisions with 4, 3 and 4 Brigades in each.
The Confederates had 2 Divisions with 4 and 6 Brigades in each.
We use the old set of Fire and Fury rules but have changed the designated names to avoid our confusion so the 4 Brigades in the Union 1st Division were the 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th Wisconsin, rather than the 1st Corps, 1st Division, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th brigades.
We found it added a little more realism (if you can have that in a game), charging with the 4th Texas rather than the  1st, 2nd, 4th, and its a lot less confusing!!!! ::) ::) ::)
