Scenario inspired by various historical events and several of CS Grant's scenarios.
The opposing armies are advancing by several roads with cavalry scouting ahead to find out what the enemy is doing and whether or not there are some good defence positions which could block the enemy and provide several ways to get around their flank if they show up.
The Rebs have found such a spot but the Yankees weren't long behind. The thunder of the guns going into action urges nearby reinforcements to step out.
Opening shots. |
The Rebs start with a cavalry brigade on the central hill supported by a brigade of infantry. The rest of Kinch's division is moving up at the double to reinforce them. The Yankee scouts had spotted the Reb position and reported back. After a look at the map, orders were issued. The Federal cavalry have deployed to keep an eye on the Rebs and the veteran 1st Infantry Brigade is already marching on.
There's a gonna be a fight but there's only 15 turns till dark! No time to lose.
