    I don’t think Lee could be expected to come up with an answer

    Great point – it was a difficult problem. The Germans in WW1 came up with assault tactics that involved infiltration tactics, storm troopers, mission command, and artillery “creeping barrages”, but they had a rich organizational structure developed over decades to allow such experimentation. The Confederate Army was basically created just as their war began.
