Re: What are your favorite WBTS units.

Well, based on what I keep hearing, the:

Iron Brigade
Irish Brigade
20th Massachusetts
54th Massachusetts

"because they won the war all by themselves." And I'm only half-joking: people really do say this. Then again, all of their great-great-grandmothers were "Cherokee princesses" and their ancestors came over on the "Mayflower" too....

Yours (only partially) in jest,
