In both North and South the infantry regiments were organised on similar lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA regiment typically comprised ten companies, each numbering 100 men, supported by staff, drummers and officers. However, the rigours of warfare would summarily lead to a reduction in strength by way of battle, disease and desertion, and a regiment's numbers could vary wildly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe states of the north had a tendency to allow regiments to fall below an effective level, to a point where a number of such regiments would be forged into a brand-new formation. This sometimes had a detrimental effect as units lost their identities and their associated fighting spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common identifier for a regiment was a number and the State in which they were raised - for example, the \"15th Alabama\" or the \"4th Connecticut\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied Unpainted \u0026amp; Unassembled\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56049490559354,"sku":"ZWG-312414003","price":25.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Black-Powder-Epic-Battles-American-Civil-War-Union-Bridge.jpg?v=1760982224","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-us\/products\/black-powder-epic-battles-american-civil-war-union-brigade","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
