Having a complete lack of a useful imagination, I agree that we need a name other than "The army of the Southern reagon", or "The Southern Army". When ever I hear those 2 names, I ask myself what historic reenactment group I belong to. Though, we could change his Grace's title to Colonel. He could be Colonel MacEwan, commander of the southern army. So, who would lead a crack cavelry troop that goes hunting for shoes and parties when they need to be scouting for General Grant and his men?

- I'm still crispy over the whole "Southern regional name" discussion.
- I cannot think of a period name for an army, other than things like
"the English army" or "the Duke of Norfolk's men".
- I emphatically do not want a non-period name, especially one with
modern resonance. E.g., "Rolling Thunder" is a group of good
people, but an older person or someone with knowledge of recent
military history thinks "the Vietnam War".
