I'm not happy with my CSA Corps commanders in my current campaign and as Breckinridge is no longer able to get promoted to 2 stars (his 2 models still exist) I was wondering how change this.

I tried to edit the model files to make him able to advance in rank but to no avail.

I need this guy in my next campaign until I get Kirby Smith and Taylor to 2 stars.

You can edit his 1 star model [204CSAJohnC. Breckinridge] by adding a line:
TechUpg = $ldr_CSA_Breckinridge2

and changing a line:
Promotable = Yes

or simply copy the attached file into the models directory...

Then go get him some experience!

If you want him to Start as a 2 star, you'll have to edit the scenario or event file that creates him.....

Thanks to both of you.

I had missed the "Techupg" part. Makes perfectly sense now.

I don't understand why he wasn't promotable anymore in the first place...as Forney and Polk aren't getting the job done and Bragg is still a brigadier sieging the federal fort near Pensacola. And to my horror...Zollicoffer and Breckinridge have been winning victories in Kentucky but no promotions for them.
