Based on previous discussion, the following rules changes are made to the rules, effective now: (deletions struck-through, additions in red).
Section II, B, 1, b.
b. Detachment - A detachment is commanded by any leader. This is typically a small force which may force march and attack, with the benefit of having extra movement range. The size of a detachment is based on the commading leader's rank. A "D" leader can organize a detachment of up to 8 SP infantry or 3 SP cavalry. A "C" level commander can lead up to 15 SP of infantry or 8 SP of cavalry. An "A" level commander can leadup to 25 SP total, no more than 5 of which may be cavalry. either 15 SP of
infantry or 8 SP of cavalry. Such a detachment cannot mix unit types between infantry and cavalry.
Section II, B, 2, a.- add the entire paragraph under "Infantry Corps"
"Once created, an infantry Corps may never detach troops so that its size falls below 10 SP for the Union and 15 SP for the Confederacy. Battle attrition and disease may bring the Corps below these minimum thresholds, however, a team may not deliberately detach men from the Corps to reduce the size to below these levels."
Section II, B, 2, b.- add the entire paragraph under "Cavalry Corps"
"Once created, a cavalry Corps may never detach troops so that its size falls below 5 SP . Battle attrition and disease may bring a Corps below this minimum threshold, however, a team may not deliberately detach men from the Corps to reduce the size to below this level."
Existing units are grandfathered to this rule that are in violation of the new size thresholds. However, I would request that players make an effort to bring these "out-of-spec" units into compliance at a time when it does not adversely affect their operations.
