Jim’s Reviews > Civil War Infantry Tactics: Training, Combat, and Small-Unit Effectiveness > Status Update

Hess really takes aim (in 2-rank line formation 😅) at some common misunderstandings about Civil War infantry combat and its tactics. In great detail, Hess shows how field manual content evolved and how it was imparted to Civil War armies. He also puts it in context of 19th century warfare and how yes, Civil War commanders we're not fumbling around but making logical choices.
