The units of the old II Corps were consolidated into two divisions, under Generals Francis C. Barlow and John Gibbon; the two divisions of the III Corps were transferred intact, and were numbered as the 3rd and 4th, with Generals David B. Birney and Gershom Mott in command.
The casualties of the corps in the various actions around Spotsylvania, from May 8 to May 19, aggregated 894 killed, 4,947 wounded, and 801 missing; total 6,642, or over one-third of the loss in the entire Army of the Potomac, including the IX Corps.
The corps recrossed the James River, and fought at Deep Bottom, July 26, and again on August 14; then, having returned to the lines around Petersburg, Barlow's and Birney's Divisions were engaged at Ream's Station, on August 25, a disastrous and unfortunate affair, in which it lost a large number of men captured.

In the meantime, he sent William J. Hardee with his corps on a fifteen-mile march to hit the unprotected Union left and rear, east of the city.
Howard had anticipated such a thrust, entrenched one of his corps in the Confederates' path, and repulsed the determined attack, inflicting numerous casualties.
To counter the move, Hood sent Hardee with two corps to halt and possibly rout the Union troops, not realizing Sherman's army was there in force.

 CWOL War College: Evolution of ACW Command & Control
This is mainly due to the use of different terms plus the fact that the main focus of the ACW staff was to keep the unit functional by providing the required logistics, subsistence, communications, and medical services (used more for epidemics in camp than combat losses).
The success of this command arrangement lead to the celebrated Union "corps system" that was used to great effect in 1863-65 to move land forces between theaters and armies with great success in continuity of the commands.
The use of corps (which was applied significantly looser than in the North) was emplaced to ensure that certain region's "favorite son" had the stature to be a participant in the field army's "War Councils".

Hooker’s XX Corps, supported by IV Corps on the left and XXIII Corps on the right, was to mount a carefully planned attack for limited objectives on Hood’s Corps.
The III Corps would move to Jermantown to strengthen the forces there to the point of being able to hold off a potential attack by Lee, and the IX Corps would move to cover the Warrenton Turnpike east of Centreville in case the Confederates headed south to cut that route instead of attacking Jermantown.
The IX Corps, which was swelling with green units and suffering leadership issues with Reno's mortal wounding during the fighting the day before, broke ranks to take care of burial detail, and Burnside (as wing commander) let them remain in bivouac despite McClellan's urging.

 JodieCon Borodino'02 - "The Great Redoubt" Issue #7
ACW with only two sides and an obvious enemy is more tactical with center, flanks, and reserve, plus rules for terrain types.
However, since the ACW use of the three arms is historically valid for the 1860s (don't try charging your cavalry against infantry, for one example), we can expect the Napoleonic tactical battle rules to be different as well.
And since the ACW game provides "Elite Cavalry" simply by mounting the same horsemen on different colored mounts (fl instead of brown), some variety of troops types may be possible here as well.
