I put the 5th Confederate "Camel" Cavalry Corps, at Yuma AZ, in my campaign.  It
was one of the last things the Jeff Davis did before his trip to Kentucky.  The
Camels from his earlier experiment as US Secretary of War, were gathered up and
some new ones were gifts of Great Britain.  There are also some interesting
saddle mounts for the Gatling Machine Gun, including an Anti-Air modification
that was brought into being to combat the "Flying Buffalo's".  MY Confederacy
places a bigger importance on protecting it's supply line of Ghost Rock, then
what was listed in the books.  The 5th CCC is more like a reinforced Brigade in
actual strength, with only one regiment actually being Camel.
