I don't know why, but I'm starting to get a deep liking towards the Iron Brigade.

The Iron Briage, AKA Black Hat Brigade was a brigade of several regiments in the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. They were famous for their iconic hardee hats and their extreme durability. I was watching a segement from the History Channel's 'Gettysburg'. And I saw the segiment were the Iron Brigade was charging the railroad cut on the 1st day. Even though the uniforms were highly inaccurate, it did entertain me.

They lost 10 men carrying the regimental colors in a matter of minutes, and yet they still charged onward and took the ditch! Even when their commander was shot in the head! By all means they should've routed. When your colors fall and you're CO's dead, most men would flee.

But still, they can't beat the Irish Brigade, what they did at Antetiam will always put them at the top of my list as the best regiment EVER! Having a bunch of Irishmen fresh off the boat from escaping opression shouting "Faugh A Ballagh" In long lines and bayonets gleaming in the sun would make me run for my live most likely.
