Watch out for the English I Corps (Royal Foosballers), led by Alfred Lord Tennyson and division commanders Charles Dickens and George Eliot (who for some reason only emerged from his tent fully dressed).
On English entry, the Union gets three additional outstanding division commanders: Herman Melville, Mark Twain, and Walt Whitman.

"I'm a darned sight smarter than Grant; I know a great deal more about war, military histories, strategy and grand tactics than he does; I know more about organization, supply, and administration and about everything else than he does; but I'll tell you where he beats me and where he beats the world. He don't care a damn for what the enemy does out of his sight, but it scares me like hell."
William Tecumseh Sherman
