BigDuke66,
The answer is you have 2 USMC units. The "USMC" is at Ft. Monroe, and set on attack posture. The "1st USMC" is in New York City. Both of them were moving to Annapolis. The "USMC" was attacked by the AOP as it tried to escape from Ft. Monroe, and took a thrashing. It then retreated into the fort, joining Butler's command. The "1st USMC" moved from NYC to Annapolis by rail, and arrived on day 10.
That is why you see the 2 messages about it. As to the attack posture, the "USMC" was in attack posture. Butler just sat there and watched it get attacked. He never switched posture. If you mouse over the attack posture on the after battle report, it indicates that 1 of your units (not necessarily all) had attack posture orders. You will also notice that the screen shows that 94% of your force was inside the fort during the attack.
Hope this helps, and removes confusion.
Remember - The beatings will continue until morale improves.
