Seriously: if you take those two images above, and just save them as

.pcx files, you can swap out the offending game graphics for what-

ever you feel are more appropriate as advisor heads. Don't just

change the extensions on the jpgs... you must save them as .pcx

format. Filenames are:

Advisor_CSA.pcx
Advisor_USA.pcx

Also:
-files MUST stay the same size
-don't include any 0,0,0 color pixels, as it will appear transparent.

There were five CSA Secretaries of War as such: 1) Sec. of War LeRoy Pope Walker till Sept. 9, 1861; 2) Judah P. Benjamin till March 24, 1862; 3) George W. Randolph of Virginia till Nov. 15, 1862; 4) James Seddon till Feb. 5, 1865; 5) the fifth and final CSA Sec. of War was John C. Breckenridge till May 10, 1865.

There is the Wiki site, Wiki is good for somethings sometimes.

Chris, aka 'Little Lord Flaunt LeRoy'

PS: There were six CSA Secs. of War if you count this fellow who was Acting Sec. of War for 3-days in Nov., 1862:

Acting Secretaries of War:
Gustavus Woodson Smith November 17, 1862 November 20, 1862

I hear that's what Georgians call Sherman, 'Boy Sherman', similar to 'Boy George' maybe. I just don't know anymore.
