$52M Salary Cap, No Clones, League Number  NBA40254 

IN.  South will rise again....and get its *** kicked, but I will go South never the less...the problem I have with the map is that much of Texas fought with the Union, but oh well.

cap?

I was going to say the North would dominate, but it's actually pretty well balanced between the two (depending on cap).  Most of the power players are split pretty evenly.

I'm in probably take the Confederates cause I hate Danny Ainge.

$52M Cap

welcome guys

gerry, boodha, and johnmace are already in

I am switching to the North....damn carpetbagger that I am

you're a galvanized yankee malone

The Confederates typically named battle for the city in which they were fought, or the closest city.  The Union forces typically named battles after geographical features such as creeks and rivers.  Because of this, many Civil War battles have two names - the battle of Antietam / Sharpsburg, the battle of Manassas / Bull Run, etc.

In as a Yankee

btw you might want to add some territory to the south as it's only 11 states (maybe let them confederate boys look for international support?)

welcome fel.  i thought about including international support, but want to keep it true to the war as neither side got much help.  the union blockade prevented all but the fastest blockade runners from getting the confederates any supplies.  i'm hoping the salary cap of $52 keeps it competitive for both sides.  good southerners in moses, mcgrady, bill russell, mcadoo... there's many more.. but i'll leave it to the owners to find them.

I'm in as a Southern.
