Portable Napoleonic Wargame for the ACW - part 1 Brigade Level

As I want to experiment with the Portable Napoleonic Wargame for my American Civil War collection, I have decided to make some adjustments to the rules to fit my understanding of the differences between the periods.

In the Brigade Level I think that the technological differences will be most pronounced as at higher levels command and control will be more important. I have some ideas on how to represent these and aspects of generalship at the Divisional and Corps levels but will post those later.

This is my first draft waiting playtest for these changes.
