Chickamauga

Scenario.

This game represents the initial contact on the first day of Chickamauga (19 September 1863) at the northern end of the battlefield. The Confederates are attempting to outflank the Union position from the north while Thomas' Union XIV Corps is attempting to block the manoeuvre.
The game can be played on a 6 x 4 table if using 20mm or smaller figures and unlike many Fire and Fury scenarios can be fought to a conclusion in 3-4 hours.

Special Rules for Dismounted Cavalry.

Forrest's and Wilder's cavalry fire at full strength up to 8 inches when dismounted. They may also form double line and if so do not suffer the normal -1 for dismounted cavalry.

Terrain

The terrain layout is as shown on the map above. The ground is flat (hills being further to the West). Light green areas represent open fields and clearings. The rest of the table is wooded, affecting combat, movement and line of sight. The stream is fordable without any penalty to infantry or cavalry. It may be forded by artillery but they need to pay fording costs.

Victory Conditions

The Confederate player wins a decisive victory if, after 8 turns they have one unspent infantry brigade on the west side of Lafayette Rd and have not suffered more casualties than the Union.

The Union player wins a decisive victory if, after 8 turns the Confederates do not have one unspent infantry brigade on the west side of Lafayette Rd and they have not suffered more casualties than the Confederates.

Any other result is a draw.
