During battle of Spotsylvania in Virginia unknown Confederate sharpshooter killed Maj.-Gen. John Sedgwick (commanding the Army of Potomac 6th Corps). The Whitworth rifle bullet hit Sedgwick who was inspecting his troops positions from from the range of a half mile. Impressive. In my opinion sharpshooters missions are higly expected for this mod. Maj.-Gen. John F. Reynolds - commander of the 1st Corps of Army of the Potomoas is another example of high-ranking officer killed during Civil War by sharpshooter. However it wasn't common for a Civil War sharpshooter to kill a general. Sharpshooters, used on flanks, hidden on trees were supposed to take more acitve fighters on enemy side. But of course killing of line-officer (col. and below) definiately would couse a major disturbance within enemy ranks. Merry Christmas to everybody in this topic
