Cummins (Southern Victory)

General Cummins was responsible for counterintelligence for the Confederate Army. While a solid officer, he lacked the imagination of some of his peers such as General Clarence Potter. As such, General Nathan Bedford Forrest III and President Jake Featherston occasionally assigned Potter extra duties that rightfully belonged to Cummins but which needed something extra that Potter had.

On such extra duty was the gopher trap that Forrest asked Potter to devise. While Cummins was also given the assignment and he proceeded in the usual plodding, unimaginative way, Potter devised an unusual approach which ultimately proved successful.
