The squads guns would probably overheat before they could kill the entire army.

The Civil War soldiers.
 
Each side will probably have a unique battle plan but the having a portion of the Civil War soldiers sacri... I mean distract the opposition while another portion initiates an overwhelming flanking maneuver.

Life isn't a video game.  Real weapons don't come with infinite ammo, and there is no way a tank can stock enough shells to take out  anywhere even close to 50,000 people.. "
The OP said that they had small ammo caches that were more than enough to kill everyone. If the enemy came in waves they could restock.

Civil War army, without a doubt.  A force of 50,000 is impossible for a team of six to take on without any other support.

Dude, civil war group, they invented the Model 1887's, auto-win right there.  Of course it all depends on how the Civil War army arrives, in one giant mass or split up into smaller units.

And with the benefit of primitive technology, no patches!

In a field,
The Civil War Era Army would win, Sheer Numbers.
 
But if the modern squad went guerrilla warfare the "civils" would have no chance. 
They would get picked off one by one, And... well however many you could take out with a grenade... At a time,

Reminds me of all those zombie apocalypse maps on war3. Which almost always ended in your whole squad being wiped out. 
 
And these were slow ass braindead zombies with no range.

one of the dudes in the tactical squad calls in combined artillery, airstrike and naval bombardment on the now-dead 50,000 troops. presto

Um, the 50k troops youre talking about would also have several batteries of cannon backing them up.

" That would make an insane spec ops mission for MW2. "
Yes! This would be awesome. It will be like Nazi Zombies, except the 'zombies' will have inaccurate rifles.
 
Now that I think about it, I imagine the modern day soldiers will have vests that will protect them from Civil War bullets...

Reading is hard. No, 50k versus the entirety of the Civil War force. Which is something like 10 million? Not sure what the exact number is. So divide 10 mil by 50k. That's 200 civil war men per modern tactical officer. "
The OP specifically said 50,000 Civil War troops, and a tactical force of 6. Jesus Christ.

I think your all forgetting the psychological side of this. If the civil war guys know who/what they are fighting, and the tactical force is smart and works on taking out the officers/higher ranks, a hell of a lot of those civil war guys are going to be throwing down their guns and pissing off home. Also dont forget that a tactical force is most likely going to be splitting up and moving around the enemy, striking where they least expect it. This would most likely freak the civil war soldiers out more and more.

The Civil war army would win easily, if the tactical force had no kind of backup it would be absolutely impossible for them to win.

Anyone who chose Modern Day Tactical Force is either an idiot or can't read.

Since there are no respawns in life, and most people on here seem to think that the "modern day tactical force" does everything in real life, just like they do in games (morons) then I would be really surprised if you guys saw the outcome.

even with the force multipliers of modern weaponry, training and tactics. The tactical squad is just simply outgunned and outnumbered. The numerically superior force will flank and envelope the squads positions and start pounding them with canons or men. I'd doubt they would even survive a single bayonet charge.

@Hailinel:
Because, like me, people vote first and read the conditions later. As has been said, eventually, if its a stand up fight, numbers are always going to win. Yeah you might have a gun capable of hunderds of rounds a minute, yeah you might be the best trained soldiers on the planet, buy you going to have to sleep sometime.

The modern day fighters would need some modern day vehicles to run over a large part of the Civil War army in order to win. A nuke would help too.

Even if the 50,000 use their bare hands, they can fuck up the 6 dudes.
