Campaign Gettysburg Designer's Notes

Introduction

Little did I - and I'm sure John - know in 1998 when I started on this project that it would span fully 6 years in development. The result - I hope - is worth the time spent. My goal in the design of this game was to cover the campaign in the east in the summer of 1863, more so than the Battle of Gettysburg. I wanted to take gaming beyond the limits imposed by maps of single battles, encouraging gamers to deal with real life problems without the artificial constraints imposed by limited scale maps. I also wanted to do what I could to discourage various "gamey" aspects of play. I'll be interested in the reaction to my efforts in those regards.

Acknowledgements

First and foremost I have to thank John for allowing me to work on this project. He has been patient beyond belief. He has over time modified the game engine and the tools available to his designers. The end result is a product that has evolved over the years, and one that will continue to morph over time. My thanks to my family and friends who also have exhibited the patience of Job with what must have seemed at times a fantasy on my part. I know they're tired of hearing that I'm working on the game - but see, I really was! To the playtesters who have given of their time for so long, your efforts are greatly appreciated. Jim Dobbins, Drew Wagenhoffer, Pat Blackman, Lee Quantrell, Brett Schulte, Rich Walker, and Richard Hamilton - thank you - your comments and our discussions have led to a better game. Plus, I've had the chance to play this game with some great guys. In particular I need to thank Pat for his work on detailing the eastern half of Carroll County (where he grew up) on the Pipe Creek map, Drew for his work on his own PDT's that he kindly allowed me to steal, and that I have employed virtually unchanged, and Jim for playtesting with me longer than anyone else. The campaign maps by Michael Avanzini are wonderful, the getting started work done by Adam Parker shines, Mark Adams' work is stellar. All these folks who contributed to individual aspects of the game wowed me with the quality of their work, and with the rate at which they completed it. I can't thank you all enough. Of course, having thanked everyone, I must emphasize that any fault that may be found with the OOBs, scenarios, maps, etc. is mine alone.

The Campaign

I don't intend to write extensively about the campaign. I'd refer those who wish to read about this subject in depth to the sources listed in Appendix A. A brief overview relating the campaign to aspects of the game is all that I'll attempt at this point.

After Chancellorsville and Jackson's death, Lee resolved to take the war to the north. During May and early June Lee reorganized the Army of Northern Virginia. The effect of this change in command structure is one of the intriguing aspects of the campaign. He also lobbied for and got additional troops. He didn't get all the troops he'd hoped for. The possible additional forces beyond those actually received are accounted for in the game by the inclusion of an extra regiment, and extra brigade and an extra corps in the Confederate OOB.

Brandy Station:

Lee resolved on an invasion of Pennsylvania via the Valley. The southern army shifted north along the Rappahannock River. The Cavalry division massed near Brandy Station, east of Culpeper, and conducted a series of grand reviews. Shortly after the last of these the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac crossed the Rappahannock. The Battle of Brandy Station, and the start of every campaign, resulted. While a minor Confederate victory, or a draw, in campaign terms, the battle stung Stuart, and many cite it as a reason for his later ride around the Union army, and consequent absence from his real job of intelligence gathering. Stuart's absence is another major issue in the campaign.

I believe that the employment of cavalry is one of the main areas of concern in game play in this era. My hope is that the larger maps used in this game will encourage and reward employment of these troops in a more realistic fashion than that which one usually sees in current game play. You should see cavalry employed in a more traditional scouting and screening role during the games. The difference in victory points for cavalry and infantry also dictates that horse soldiers not be used as assault forces if at all possible.

In the meantime the Army of the Potomac and Hooker had to contend with a substantial decrease in strength as at least 20 regiments mustered out during June/early July of 1863. Hooker made some half hearted suggestions about taking the offensive. These were not met with any enthusiasm in Washington, neither before the campaign began, nor later as the armies maneuvered.

2nd Winchester:

After Brandy Station Ewell's 2nd Corps opened the campaign by marching into the Valley. Milroy's division of the Union 8th Corps/Department of the Middle lingered too long at Winchester, and was all but destroyed by Ewell. Just as the south's OOBs contain extra units, the Union's contain all of the 8th Corps units, and all of the 22nd Corps/Department of Washington units. Some end up coming into play, others don't.

Aldie/Middleburg/Upperville:

As Ewell's Corps continued north to the Potomac river, the rest of the Army of Northern Virginia finished shifting north from Fredericksburg, and screened the Valley from the west side of the Bull Run Mountains. The Battle's of Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville occurred at this time between Union cavalry with some limited infantry support and Stuart aided at the end by some infantry support. Upperville is not modeled in the game. Aldie and Middleburg are treated as part of a continuous flow of events in the game.

By the time of Aldie, the northern army had shifted north and screened the east slopes of the Bull Run Mountains. After the events of June 17th to the 20th, the army concentrated mostly to the east of the mountains. 1st and 3rd Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia screened the Valley, then moved to the Valley and across the Potomac. 2nd Corps moved into Pennsylvania with elements of the command moving far enough to threaten the state capitol. 1st and 3rd Corps concentrated at Chambersburg, west of a crossroads town named Gettysburg.

Stuart fell off the radar on the aforementioned ride around the Union army and the southern forces lost their eyes and ears. For the north the civilian leadership decided in a change in army command during the middle of the campaign. The contentious Hooker was relieved and replaced by Meade. His actions as army commander led to the meeting engagement at Gettysburg on July 1st.

Gettysburg:

Not the highlight of the Army of Northern Virginia's record. The command problems in the army contributed to disjointed, uncoordinated attacks. The Army of the Potomac was able to take advantage of a good defensive position after the 1st days disaster, and was able to use interior lines of communication to shift reserves to the action during the 2nd and 3rd days. July 3rd was an unmitigated disaster for the south. The game models Gettysburg (as it does for Brandy Station, Winchester, and Aldie) by providing a full range of possibilities from the starting positions on July 1st. It also provides about 20 historical scenarios from Gettysburg.

Falling Waters:

The Confederate retreat from Gettysburg went fairly unmolested - cavalry clashes culminated in a fight near Falling Waters - the Confederate supply source. The Army of the Potomac, after just surviving an epic battle, and under the command of a man new to the job, pursued its foe cautiously, which resulted in much criticism of Meade. With the Confederate army at bay with its back to a rain-swollen Potomac River, the Union army frittered away days concentrating and preparing for an attack on a prepared position. The Army of Northern Virginia improvised a pontoon bridge to replace the one that had been swept away, and crossed back into Virginia. The northern advance bagged only a portion of the rear guard.

This is where the game ends, and is as good a place as any to call a stopping point to the campaign.


Design Philosophy

I have only a couple of points to make here. I have attempted to provide a vehicle that encourages the use of maneuver. Napoleon analyzed all warfare as a combination of mass and maneuver. Smaller maps covering historical situations virtually remove the element of maneuver from any but a purely tactical context. Maneuver engenders employing your cavalry in its true roles of screening and scouting. Maneuver encourages confronting a position with non-frontal assault. There's a time and place for everything, but, I think that you'll be surprised by the avenues that open up when one is not shoehorned into a short list of options by a map.

Maneuver, in my experience, tends to lower the casualty rates. These still remain too high, though I attribute a lot of that to play style as much as anything. This is the second aspect of gaming that I've tried to address. I've used negative incentives by way of substantially increased victory points for artillery (60) and cavalry (40). Concern over losing those points needlessly should lead to artillery being protected if at all possible; this, I submit, is historically accurate. Similarly, concern over the effects on one's Victory Points should lead to cavalry being employed against cavalry when at all possible, as the points net out unless one side takes a drubbing. Again, I think this is historically accurate in general. If more cautious play is encouraged as a side benefit of these changes, that too would more accurately reflect warfare of the age.

The Orders of Battle

See Appendix C for the sources consulted on Orders of Battle. You will notice, as mentioned above, the presence of two additional corps for the Union, and the additional forces available for the south. I originally intended to run full campaigns with these forces, but, enough is enough eventually, and those lines of the campaign have not been completed. The forces are available for whoever wants to let their imagination run wild.

While the Confederate Order of Battle remains constant throughout the campaign, that of the Army of the Potomac continually evolved during this time period, necessitating no fewer than 7 Orders of Battle to cover the campaign. You may notice a number of Orders of Battle that are not used by any scenario. There are in essence three versions of each of the 7 main Orders of Battle. The one employed in the game has artillery broken down by section, and each cavalry regiment supplied with a 100 man detachment. I call this partial breakdown. The first alternate to this I call no breakdown - batteries are represented as a whole, and there are no cavalry detachments. The second alternative I term full breakdown. These OOB's represent artillery by section, cavalry in 100 man increments, and infantry in 250 man increments. Consistent with my concerns regarding maneuver, the unit size for infantry and cavalry jives well, in my opinion, with distances occupied while marching. Full breakdown is employed in the historical Battle of Brandy Station. I have actually generated scenarios for each of these Orders of Battle, but at the end I've opted to just get a conversion utility out there rather than include 3 versions of each scenario. This utility will be available at a site online.

The strengths arrived at for the various units were calculated by working back from the known strengths at Gettysburg. I added some strength to reflect the effect of march attrition. I added losses incurred during the campaign prior to the Battle of Gettysburg. I cross referenced the numbers I arrived at with the most recent available pre-campaign muster strengths, and made adjustments where necessary. Results were rounded to the nearest 25. I felt this was only honest. The idea that one can set the exact strength of a unit on a given day in a 30 day campaign is, I felt, less than completely honest. I've used the exact numbers for the historical battles.

The Scenarios

I mentioned earlier generating 3 versions of each scenario. Additionally there are usually multiple variations for each scenario. For every scenario with 5 or more variants, at least 5 are provided for use in the campaign. If a scenario has fewer than 5 variants, then all are provided. See Appendix D for a listing of the various scenarios, including which of the variants are supplied for campaign purposes. I hope that the multiple variants on the scenarios will yield a game that can be played and played again without ever playing the same way twice.

The scenarios were created in a modular fashion. A base scenario was constructed, usually consisting of the on map units, or portions of the on map units. A number of "sub scenarios", if you will, were then built. These usually involved reinforcements, and/or varying release times for on map units. I combined these different partial scenarios to come up with the variants for a given scenario. In all nearly 20,000 scenarios and variants were constructed. At one point I had to rein myself in, as I realized that I'd just constructed a scenario with some 2,000 variants. Space considerations did not permit shipping all the variants with the game. I hope to have these available on line at some point in the future.

In addition to the campaign scenarios samples of the 294 main scenarios are available for selection. There are roughly an additional 20 historical scenarios that one may choose from. Scenarios range in length from 4 to over 300 turns. See Appendix E for a listing of scenarios by length.

The Maps

See Appendix B for sources regarding the maps in this game.

Design philosophy:

I consciously began development with a desire to go big in regard to the maps involved. I lobbied John on this matter, and received his blessing and substantial assistance with the tools needed to accomplish this task. While the big maps bring with them problems for some gamers too much maneuver being the biggest complaint, I think the upside outweighs this and similar concerns. Additionally, one can always generate sub-maps and avoid the problem entirely I’ve done so for some of the smaller scenarios, and some stand alone battles.

I also wanted to make the maps aid in restricting certain "gamey" aspects of play. Fields of view were limited/broken up where possible consistent with the terrain. Movement was restricted again where possible consistent with the actual terrain. In short I did what I could to encourage the player not to use his forces as if they were some 19th century version of a panzer division. While other aspects of the game system have a greater effect in this regard than do the maps, I did what I could with them to try and contribute to restricting what I regard as ahistorical play.

It should be noted that I didn’t regard this as a "Gettysburg" game. The battle has been done, and done again. This is a game of the Confederate summer offensive of 1863 in the east. From a map making standpoint this means that, while I tried to get the Gettysburg battlefield as true to life as possible, I didn’t regard it as any more important than the other areas covered. I approached this entire project with the full knowledge that there are many people who know more about this battle and campaign than I. This holds true for the terrain as much as for any other aspect of the campaign. I’ve done my best in this regard, and of course welcome any constructive criticism.

Techniques:

Topographic and hydrographic data were generated first, working from the USGS 7.5' quadrangles. In most instances I had a high degree of confidence that these features had not changed dramatically in the intervening time. In those relatively rare occasions that I was clued as to major changes in these features, they were modified based on contemporary sources. In entering the topographic features, I over emphasized terrain changes if anything, creating blind spots, and points of observation. By overemphasize I mean that, e.g. a rise which might not warrant depicting as a full hex based on the physical space it occupies was often depicted as a full hex. I do not mean that I added features that were not present. Similarly, I also over emphasized hydrographic features, creating streams even where the USGS data indicated they were of an intermittent nature. I made this decision for two reasons: (1) portraying the hydrography in this fashion helps break up the map - it looks better, and (2) it reflects the effect of stream beds on movement which, in my opinion, exists regardless of the presence of water in the beds.

Rail lines were entered as they currently exist for railroads that were extant at the time of the conflict. I initially felt that it was unlikely that their location had changed to any great degree in the intervening years - an assumption that was largely borne out upon review of the contemporary sources.

I then conducted an examination and cross referencing of the contemporary sources and developed a consensus as to the location and nature of the road net, and entered the data for it. I found that the road net corresponded to a surprising degree with today's roads. While I had anticipated this association for the rail net, the degree of agreement between the road net of the 1860’s and that of today came as somewhat of a shock to me.

A similar technique was employed to identify and enter place names and houses. The Virginia county maps generated by the Confederate engineers were of particular assistance in this regard, as were the pre-war county maps of Maryland and Pennsylvania. The latter were commercially produced by several companies, and were all compiled within a few years immediately prior to the war.

Vegetation was the final item entered, and was the most problematic. Other than for areas in which pitched battles were fought, there was scant information for much of the area covered by the maps. Again, in some instances, I used the maps of the Confederate engineers to fill in this information. Some of the maps from the Official Records and other sources also contained sporadic detail in this regard.

Written descriptions of terrain were consulted, but, for the vast majority of the territory depicted in the maps, there was not enough detail to add to what I could otherwise glean.

Observations:

The degree of agreement between the current road net and that of the 1860’s mentioned earlier was the single most interesting finding of the map construction. The Confederate engineer maps proved invaluable in accurately depicting the road net and place names. In general they proved to be very on target – not surprising given the greater familiarity with the territory that one would anticipate the southern engineers having.

The single aspect of current maps which was least helpful is the forestation. In those instances in which I could get access to maps from the 1860’s which depicted forestation there was generally less cover than there is at present. It sounds at first blush counterintuitive, but, upon further reflection, the shift from an agrarian society heated by wood to the current state of affairs supplies ample explanation for this phenomenon.

Problems:

Surprisingly, given that the eastern theater was undoubtedly the most extensively mapped of the war, the map making was hard. This was so in part because there are so many sources. Here’s the problem: few of the sources agree with each other. This holds true for the road net, place names, locations of fords, forestation – in short virtually every aspect of the map making. This lack of agreement led to many a false start in rendering what I needed to depict, and, undoubtedly, to mistakes in what is depicted.

While many sources exist, obtaining access to them was a time consuming and, at times, exceedingly frustrating experience. Many of the sources available on line were not scanned at sufficient detail to be usable in any but the broadest of fashions. Others were of sufficient detail, but required considerable work to get in a condition I could use. On the plus side, they are available. Far more are available now, than at the time I started this project - which also happened to be the time I did most of my map work. The increased availability of maps over the past few years has led to my returning to the maps time and again during the course of the development of the game. I can't begin to tell you how often they have been revised.

Most of the maps revolve around a 3 by 3 set of USGS quadrants that became my standard format. I felt this gave sufficient room to allow the maneuver in the games that I wanted to incorporate. This meant dealing with .bmp files of close to 100 Meg in size. 512 Meg of RAM is barely adequate for this task. To do it again, I’d upgrade to 1 Gig which would speed up the process considerably.

Conclusion

I sincerely hope everyone has as good a time playing this game, as I have had doing the campaign, and scenario design. Please don't hesitate to bring any issues to my attention.

APPENDIX D
Scenario Descriptions

This is very long. I'll just let the scenarios describe themselves. After each campaign scenario description (i.e. not the historical ones) is a listing of the related campaign variants available.

!HISTORICAL 1. The Battle of Gettysburg - July 1 - 3, 1863
THE SOUTH: On July 1st, as the Army of Northern Virginia concentrates north of Gettysburg, elements of 3rd Corps get permission to advance on the town. The advance aims to both to feel out the Union presence detected there on June 30th, and to search for shoes rumored to be stored there - an item sorely needed by the rebel foot soldiers. As the lead elements near the vicinity of Gettysburg they encounter strong resistance from Union cavalry and soon the fight escalates. 2nd Corps is to move to Cashtown and link up with 3rd Corps. While Rodes' division is in transit pursuant to these orders word arrives of the fight brewing at Gettysburg and the division is turned south at Middletown. Early's division, originally ordered to move to Cashtown via Hunterstown and Mummasburg, had, due to the state of that road, already detoured to Heidlersburg, intending to move from there to Mummasburg. It was at Heidlersburg that the word to move south reached the division. Pender's division moves out after Heth's, accompanied by a battalion of the corps reserve artillery. Anderson's division, camped up the road at Fayetteville, moves out early in the morning, but is halted near Cashtown in the early afternoon, awaiting orders. It arrives later in the afternoon. Johnson's division, after a march of some 25 miles along a road crowded with troops of 1st Corps, arrives near Cashtown at 4 p.m. The exhausted troops push on, followed by those of 1st Corps. Pickett's division, which had been left at Chambersburg guarding the army's rear, doesn't arrive till mid-afternoon on July 2nd. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac is concentrated in northern Maryland. Elements of Buford's cavalry division screen to the north of the main body. On June 30th this force makes contact with Confederate infantry. Word goes back to bring up infantry support, setting the stage for a confrontation around the town of Gettysburg. Dawn on July 1st finds the Left Wing of the Union army in position to respond to the call. 1st Corps is camped at Marsh Creek, 3rd Corps at Bridgeport, and 11th Corps at Emmitsburg. 12th Corps, which is not part of the Left Wing, is at Littlestown. Elements of Stannard's brigade, newly transferred to 1st Corps, arrive during the day. Likewise, Lockewood's brigade, scraped together from troops in the east, arrives to bolster 12th Corps. While 1st and 11th Corps move out in a timely fashion, 3rd Corps is inexplicably delayed in moving to Gettysburg. Over the course of the next two days most of the Army of the Potomac concentrates on Gettysburg. Kilpatrick's and Gregg's divisions arrive on July 2nd from their task of screening the Union right and right-rear, and Merritt's brigade arrives on the 3rd after screening the left. 2nd Corps moves from the vicinity of Uniontown, camping near Gettysburg late on the night of July 1st, and arriving on the field in the early morning of the 2nd. 5th Corps, after marching to Hanover, reverses its course and arrives in the area of Gettysburg in the early morning hours of July 2nd. 6th Corps, after initially being ordered to Taneytown, reverses its course and, after a march of some 35 miles arrives near Gettysburg in the mid-afternoon of July 2nd.

!HISTORICAL 1.1 Gettysburg - July 1, 1863
July 1st at Gettysburg. Not as much room for maneuver as in the three day historical battle. The action opens as Buford's vedettes are pushed in by Archer's brigade.

!HISTORICAL 1.1.1 Opening Fight - July 1st - Gettysburg
After pushing Buford's cavalry back to McPherson's Ridge, Heth's division advances to the fray. The lead elements - Archer's and Davis' brigades - run headlong into Wadsworth's division.

!HISTORICAL 1.1.2 Oak Hill - July 1st - Gettysburg
Rodes' division leads the Confederate 2nd Corps' attack on the northern flank of the Union line. This attack strikes elements of the Union 1st and 11th Corps.

!HISTORICAL 1.1.3 Barlow and Early - July 1st - Gettysburg
As the afternoon of July 1st progressed Early's division delivered an attack on the extreme right of the Union line, smashing Barlow's division, units in support of it, and the Union right flank.

!HISTORICAL 1.2 Gettysburg - July 2, 1863
July 2nd at Gettysburg. Not as much room for maneuver as in the three day historical battle. The action opens as Longstreet's offensive begins. No cavalry, as they played no significant role in the events of the day.

!HISTORICAL 1.2.1 Culps Hill - July 2nd - Gettysburg
Johnson attacks in the late evening of July 2nd. Part of the attack falls on a section of the Union line that was as troops were shifted to the left of the Union line in response to Longstreet's attack.

!HISTORICAL 1.2.2 Cemetery Hill - July 2nd - Gettysburg
As night falls on July 2nd elements of Early's division assault Cemetery Hill. After initial success, and without expected support, they ultimately are driven back.

!HISTORICAL 1.2.3 Devil's Den - July 2nd - Gettysburg
The Confederate offensive on July 2nd was conducted en echelon. Hood's division led the assault and ran into trouble right away in an area that became known as Devil's Den.

!HISTORICAL 1.2.4 Little Round Top - July 2nd - Gettysburg
Elements of Laws brigade, the extreme right of Hood's attack, move over Big Round Top and, along with elements of Robertson's brigade, attack Little Round Top.

!HISTORICAL 1.2.5 The Wheatfield - July 2nd - Gettysburg
The en echelon assault of Longstreet's corps works its way to the left. Anderson's brigade of Hood's division, supported by elements of Benning's brigade assault the Wheatfield. McLaws division weighs in with Kershaw's and Semmes' brigades.

!HISTORICAL 1.2a Gettysburg - July 2, 1863, 5 am
July 2nd at Gettysburg. Not as much room for maneuver as in the three day historical battle. Positions as of early morning. No cavalry this day. Buford is sent south for refitting, and the rest of the horse is off skirmishing to the north and east. Stuart's troops are similarly occupied.

!HISTORICAL 1.3 Gettysburg - July 3, 1863, 4 am
July 3rd at Gettysburg. The armies as they were at first light.

!HISTORICAL 1.3.1 Cavalry East - July 3rd - Gettysburg
While the main battle raged near Gettysburg elements of the cavalry for the armies engaged in their own set to east of the town. Stuart tried to turn the Union flank and met with a repulse of his own.

!HISTORICAL 1.3.2 Culps Hill - July 3rd - Gettysburg
Early in the morning of July 3rd the fight for Culp's Hill flares up again. Each side launches attacks to try and claim this vital piece of real estate.

!HISTORICAL 1.3.3 Pickett's charge - July 3rd - Gettysburg
July 3rd at Gettysburg. The armies in position at the start of the cannonade.

!HISTORICAL 1.3.4 Cavalry south - July 3rd - Gettysburg
As Pickett's charge winds down Union cavalry attempts to press the southern flank of the Confederate line.

!HISTORICAL 2. The Battle of Brandy Station - June 9, 1863
THE NORTH: The Union cavalry is deployed to cross at Beverly's Ford and Kelly's Ford and drive on Stevensburg and Brandy Station. A composite brigade of infantry is attached to each wing and will accompany their advance. THE SOUTH: Stuart's division is widely dispersed at the time of the Union attack. Rodes division, camped near Culpeper, responds to a call for help from the rebel horseman, arriving on the field around noon. Full breakdown of all units is used in this scenario.

!HISTORICAL 3. The Battle of Second Winchester - June 13, 1863
THE SOUTH: After moving up the Valley, two divisions of 2nd Corps advance along the Valley Turnpike and the Front Royal Turnpike during the morning of June 13th. Rodes has been detached to deal with a Union force reported to be located at Berryville. In the latter part of the morning advance elements of the army make contact with northern forces under Milroy and the fight is on. Rodes, after moving on Berryville and finding that location not occupied by Union forces, proceeds on to Martinsburg. THE NORTH: The Union forces in the vicinity of Winchester are commanded by General Milroy. Contact with the enemy increases during early June. After an exercise in self delusion of a magnitude seldom encountered, the sobering realization arrives that the reports he has received of rebel forces do not relate to mere raiding parties. When the action heats up on the 13th it is too late to immediately turn and run. By mid morning reports of large bodies of enemy troops can't be ignored. Forces of all arms are sent south to cover the main approaches to Winchester. By mid morning on the 13th Milroy has four of his large guns fired - a prearranged signal to McReynolds in Berryville to retire to Winchester. The brigade manages to take until night time to complete this 10 mile march.

!HISTORICAL 4. The Battle of Aldie - June 17, 1863
THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac has shifted north to the vicinity of Manassas. On the 16th orders go out to the Cavalry Corps to aggressively push to the west to both cover a shift of the army in that direction and determine, if possible, the disposition of the rebel army. The morning of the 17th finds the cavalry moving out from Manassas. The goal is to force the pass at Aldie and push west to develop the situation. 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Cavalry Division leads the advance. The infantry forces of the Union army are well to the rear of the cavalry probe and can offer no help. THE SOUTH: The Confederate cavalry moves out on the 15th to screen the transit of 1st and 3rd Corps to the Valley. Fitz Lee's brigade leads the advance followed by Robertson's and W.H.F. Lee's commands. The rest of the horse will follow as the infantry makes its way behind the screen. By the 17th commands of the two Lees reconnoiter toward Aldie and Thoroughfare Gap, while Robertson is centrally located at Rectortown to act as support for the advance forces. By mid afternoon Fitz Lee's command is resting between Middleburg and Aldie while pushing skirmishers forward and W.H.F. Lee's brigade is probing Thoroughfare Gap. The 15th Virginia is cooperating with 3rd Corps in its movement. Hampton's and Jones' brigades screen the upper Rappahannock.

Rodes, after moving on Berryville and finding that location not occupied by Union forces, proceeds on to Martinsburg. THE NORTH: The Union forces in the vicinity of Winchester are commanded by General Milroy. Contact with the enemy increases during early June. After an exercise in self delusion of a magnitude seldom encountered, the sobering realization arrives that the reports he has received of rebel forces do not relate to mere raiding parties. When the action heats up on the 13th it is too late to immediately turn and run. By mid morning reports of large bodies of enemy troops can't be ignored. Forces of all arms are sent south to cover the main approaches to Winchester. Milroy sent word to McReynolds in Berryville on the evening of the 12th to retire to Winchester.

5. Aldie, June 17, 1863 (var. 4)
THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac has shifted north to the vicinity of Manassas.

6. The Raid, June 29, 1863 (var. 13)
THE SOUTH: Stuart's Cavalry Division, after circling behind the Army of the Potomac, works its way north attempting to reestablish contact with the main body of the Army of Northern Virginia. Supply trains have been intercepted, rail lines cut, and in general havoc created in the Union rear, but the eyes of the army need to find the body. About 5 p.m. on June 29th the rebel horse begins approaching Westminster, Maryland. The command is travelling along three parallel roads from Germantown, Sikesville, and Baltimore. Union cavalry is in the area. Reestablishing contact with the main body becomes less of a concern than self preservation at that point. THE NORTH: On June 29th the Union army is shifting north. 1st and 11th Corps are moving from Frederick to Emmitsburg, 2nd Corps from Monacacy Junction to Uniontown, 3rd and 12th Corps are on the road to Taneytown, 5th and 6th Corps bring up the rear. Buford's cavalry division is screening to the west, searching for signs of the rebel army. Word has come the Stuart is running loose in the rear of the army spreading confusion and distraction as he goes. Gregg's Division, the easternmost of the cavalry in the army, covers the right flank of the army, sparring during the day with rebel horse as it moves north to New Windsor. Much time is consumed in trying to hunt down the southern troopers, so the division arrives on the field later in the afternoon hours. The Cavalry Corps has just been beefed up with the transfer of Stahel's division from the Washington defenses. This new element of the Cavalry Corps, now under the leadership of Judson Kilpatrick moves out from Frederick, Maryland with the main body of the army and is assigned the task of moving to the front of the forces and screening the advance from Littlestown north. The mass of units moving from the Fredericksburg area interferes with this movement and the division finds itself delayed and at the rear of a huge column of troops.

7. The Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 1863 (var. 1)
THE SOUTH: On July 1st, as the Army of Northern Virginia concentrates north of Gettysburg, elements of 3rd Corps get permission to advance on the town. The advance aims to both to feel out the Union presence detected there on June 30th, and to search for shoes rumored to be stored there - an item sorely needed by the rebel foot soldiers. As the lead elements near the vicinity of Gettysburg they encounter strong resistance from Union cavalry and soon the fight escalates. 2nd Corps is to move to Cashtown and link up with 3rd Corps. While Rodes' division is in transit pursuant to these orders word arrives of the fight brewing at Gettysburg and the division is turned south at Middletown. Early's division, originally ordered to move to Cashtown via Hunterstown and Mummasburg, had, due to the state of that road, already detoured to Heidlersburg, intending to move from there to Mummasburg. It was at Heidlersburg that the word to move south reached the division. Pender's division moves out after Heth's, accompanied by a battalion of the corps reserve artillery. Anderson's division, camped up the road at Fayetteville, moves out early in the morning, but is halted near Cashtown in the early afternoon, awaiting orders. It arrives later in the afternoon. Johnson's division, after a march of some 25 miles along a road crowded with troops of 1st Corps, arrives near Cashtown at 4 p.m. The exhausted troops push on, followed by those of 1st Corps. Pickett's division, which had been left at Chambersburg guarding the army's rear, doesn't arrive till mid-afternoon on July 2nd. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac is concentrated in northern Maryland. Elements of Buford's cavalry division screen to the north of the main body. On June 30th this force makes contact with Confederate infantry. Word goes back to bring up infantry support, setting the stage for a confrontation around the town of Gettysburg. Dawn on July 1st finds the Left Wing of the Union army in position to respond to the call. 1st Corps is camped at Marsh Creek, 3rd Corps at Bridgeport, and 11th Corps at Emmitsburg. 12th Corps, which is not part of the Left Wing, is at Littlestown. Elements of Stannard's brigade, newly transferred to 1st Corps, arrive during the day. Likewise, Lockewood's brigade, scraped together from troops in the east, arrives to bolster 12th Corps. While 1st and 11th Corps move out in a timely fashion, 3rd Corps is inexplicably delayed in moving to Gettysburg. Over the course of the next two days most of the Army of the Potomac concentrates on Gettysburg. Kilpatrick's and Gregg's divisions arrive on July 2nd from their task of screening the Union right and right-rear, and Merritt's brigade arrives on the 3rd after screening the left. 2nd Corps moves from the vicinity of Uniontown, camping near Gettysburg late on the night of July 1st, and arriving on the field in the early morning of the 2nd. 5th Corps, after marching to Hanover, reverses its course and arrives in the area of Gettysburg in the early morning hours of July 2nd. 6th Corps, after initially being ordered to Taneytown, reverses its course and, after a march of some 35 miles arrives near Gettysburg in the mid-afternoon of July 2nd.

8. Falling Waters, July 12, 1863 (var. 1)
THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac moves cautiously, but purposefully south along the eastern slopes of the mountains. While the rebel army has been defeated, it is still a force to be reckoned with. Cavalry probes were repulsed by the rebel horse and the arrival of the main body of their army, but by July 12th the Union army is on the scene assembled and in position to attempt to destroy the rebel army north of the Potomac river. THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia retreats to Hagerstown, with the main body of the army arriving July 6 - July 7. Heated cavalry clashes as the army was in the process of arriving drove off marauding Union horse. The Potomac itself is not cooperating as it is well above the fordable stage. The army delays near Funkstown and then Hagerstown as a crossing is improvised, finally falling back to the west of Hagerstown on the 10th. The crossing is being planned for the night of the 13th. By the morning of the 12th, with no real attack by the northern main body, escape seems possible. The army is well entrenched and aching for a chance to stand on the defensive while the Army of the Potomac has to cross some open fields into their sights.

9. Pipe Creek Assault - Right (var. 1)
THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia pauses to reorganize prior to following the retreat of the Union army, spending much of July 4th in this process. When it moves south it does so in an organized, tightly controlled fashion. The advance is made through Taneytown with the aim of forcing the Union army off the Pipe Creek line and away from Frederick, Maryland, thereby opening things up for an advance on Washington from the west. Cavalry with infantry support screens the right flank. In the early afternoon of the 5th the lead elements of the army encounter increased resistance from Union forces of all arms. The Army of Northern Virginia begins to deploy from march order to meet force with force. THE NORTH: The army grudgingly withdraws south on the 4th, covered by a strong rear guard composed of the Cavalry Corps and almost half the army's infantry. The pursuit by the rebel host is surprisingly restrained. By early on the afternoon of the 5th the main body has taken up position along Big Pipe Creek. The covering forces are preparing to move from their last defensive positions to join this line when the level of pressure from southern forces increases dramatically.

10. Scrap east of the mountains (var. 23)
THE SOUTH: Stuart's warnings of the Union presence north of the Potomac spur the Confederate command to order the army to hasten west of the mountains and then south. 3rd Corps is ordered to the east of the mountains to screen the passage of elements of 2nd Corps to the west along the Chambersburg Pike. By mid morning of the 30th the horse is nearing Gettysburg just as the lead elements of 3rd Corps also approach that town. Robertson's and Jones' brigades, detailed to screen the routes to the Valley, move out on the 27th when the Union presence abates. They make a rapid march north and arrive in time to screen the south flank of the movement west. 2nd Corps responds to the directive to cross the mountains with amazing speed. Even Jenkins' cavalry moves with a purpose, appearing in the vicinity at 2 p.m. with Rodes' division right behind it. Early's division takes the York Pike and will make Gettysburg by late afternoon. THE NORTH: On June 30th Buford's cavalry division moves south from Fairfield, through Emmitsburg, and then north towards Gettysburg, patrolling the left flank of the army. Enemy horse is encountered near Gettysburg, backed by masses of infantry. The call goes out for support from the Union foot and a fight brews. It takes some time for the Union cavalry to sort things out after the confusion on the 29th. But, by mid morning on the 30th, Kilpatrick's division has picked up the axis of the Confederate cavalry's advance and is passing through Littlestown, moving up the pike toward Gettysburg. The army command hesitates on the issue of bringing the most remote reserves forward. By the time a decision is made and 2nd Corps moves out it is evening on the 30th. 5th Corps is similarly delayed and camps at Westminster, heading out from there at daybreak. 6th Corps misunderstands its orders and marches to Hanover before turning west. 12th Corps is under orders to march from Taneytown to Littlestown, but, is ordered to move towards Gettysburg from that location and proceeds up the Westminster Pike. 1st Corps gets word of the situation near Gettysburg around noon and the left wing of the army is ordered to move north. 1st Corps moves out rapidly, with 11th following closely behind. 3rd Corps, en route from Taneytown to Emmitsburg, also presses its move north.

11. July 8th, Counterstroke (var. 1)
THE SOUTH: By July 7th the Confederate cavalry has driven back the Union horse from the Williamsport area, and the rest of the army is arriving in Hagerstown. The events in Pennsylvania have not been positive, but the rebel army is far from beaten. The plan is to attack Union forces as they arrive, bottling them up as they cross South Mountain, and hopefully, defeat them in detail. To start things rolling the Union cavalry has fallen back to the Boonesborough area, and doesn't appear to have any infantry support. By early morning of the 8th two corps of the Army of Northern Virginia have moved south, while one covers the Hagerstown area, which is beginning to feel pressure from a combined arms force near Waynesborough. THE NORTH: By July 8th the Union cavalry has fallen back from the area around Williamsport to Boonesboro, covering the passes over South Mountain that the army will use. The Confederate army arrived on the scene on the 6th and 7th and the situation now develops into a full fledged fight. Neill and MacIntosh who have been trailing the retreating rebel army, arrive on the morning of the 8th, advancing from Waynesborough. As the pressure builds on the screening forces, the north is forced to commit troops in an ad hoc fashion, or risk losing a chance to bag the whole Confederate army. 11th Corps advances first - moving to Turner's Gap with Schurz's division advancing to Boonesboro at 1 p.m. on the 8th. The rest of the corps follows the morning of the 9th at the van of a rush of reinforcements crossing South Mountain. The battle joins in earnest.

THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia pauses to reorganize prior to following the retreat of the Union army, spending much of July 4th in this process. When it moves south it does so in an organized, tightly controlled fashion. The advance is across a broad front. In the early afternoon of the 5th the lead elements of the army encounter increased resistance from Union forces of all arms. The Army of Northern Virginia begins to deploy from march order to meet force with force. THE NORTH: The army grudgingly withdraws south on the 4th, covered by a strong rear guard composed of the Cavalry Corps and almost half the army's infantry. The pursuit by the rebel host is surprisingly restrained. By early on the afternoon of the 5th the main body has taken up position along Big Pipe Creek. The covering forces are preparing to move from their last defensive positions to join this line when the level of pressure from southern forces increases dramatically.

21. Pipe Creek Assault - Left (var. 1)
THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia pauses to reorganize prior to following the retreat of the Union army, spending much of July 4th in this process. When it moves south it does so in an organized, tightly controlled fashion. The axis of the advance is through Manchester. This advance, if successful, will turn any defensive line along Pipe Creek while at the same time breaching the likely fall back position along Parr Ridge. The Union would be forced out of the best defensive positions for both Washington and Baltimore in one fell swoop. In the early afternoon of the 5th the lead elements of the army encounter increased resistance from Union forces of all arms. The Army of Northern Virginia begins to deploy from march order to meet force with force.

22. Crush the Rear Guard (var. 3)
THE NORTH: Upon realizing that the Army of Northern Virginia has turned south rather than continuing the invasion, the Army of the Potomac moves to protect the southern approaches to Washington while dispatching a strong force to trail and harass the rebel army. Three corps of the army, augmented by recent reinforcements, along with a division of the Cavalry Corps are assigned this task. On July 10th this force of all arms crosses South Mountain and has a chance to crush the Confederate rear guard north of the Potomac. A victory here may salvage something from the campaign. THE SOUTH: The move south from Pennsylvania is smooth and leisurely. Upon reaching the Hagerstown area a problem crops up - the Potomac River. It is swollen by recent rains and running near flood stage. The pontoon bridge which had been constructed needs repair. The army is unable to begin crossing until the 9th of July. By the 10th all that remains north of the river is the rear guard consisting of 3rd Corps and a couple of brigades of cavalry. The northern army has moved faster than anyone expected and begins pressuring this force early on the 10th. The rear guard will need to hold the northern shore until it can withdraw under the cover of night. One more bloody nose to the Union won't hurt the campaign record of the army either.

23. Pipe Creek Assault - Center (var. 1)
THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia pauses to reorganize prior to following the retreat of the Union army, spending much of July 4th in this process. When it moves south it does so in an organized, tightly controlled fashion. The main advance will be on Westminster in the hope crushing the center of any Union defensive line. Most of the army will have to use one road which is a drawback, but the amount of force which will be concentrated on the center of any defensive line along Pipe Creek should offset this disadvantage. In the early afternoon of the 5th the lead elements of the army encounter increased resistance from Union forces of all arms. The Army of Northern Virginia begins to deploy from march order to meet force with force. THE NORTH: The army grudgingly withdraws south on the 4th, covered by a strong rear guard composed of the Cavalry Corps and almost half the army's infantry.

24. On to Virginia II (var. 5)
THE SOUTH: The withdrawal through Pennsylvania proceeds with little harassment from the Union army. By the 11th the advance of the Confederate force arrives at Hagerstown. Two corps move through Fairfield and then Cavetown, while one travels via Cashtown and then south. Imboden's command is covering the pontoon bridge over the Potomac. The rest of the rebel cavalry begins to take serious pressure from northern horse, backed by strong infantry support. By the end of the 11th the makings of a full fledged fight are at hand. THE NORTH: The army cautiously follows the withdrawing Confederate host. When it becomes evident that the force won't overtake the rebel army, two divisions of cavalry supported by three corps of infantry are sent to try and cut the line of retreat of the southern force. This force reaches the west side of South Mountain during the morning of the 11th. The remainder of the army presses directly on the heels of the Confederates. Two corps of the army move through Cashtown and Chambersburg before turning south. The remaining two corps move via Fairfield and Cavetown on the trail of the rebel army. It is early on the 12th before these forces begin to arrive.

26. Storm the rear guard (var. 15)
THE SOUTH: The army is defeated in northern Maryland and must retreat. With the loss morale took a serious hit, and it's a shaken army that moves north seeking crossing points over the mountains to the west. The move begins at night. Much of the army's cavalry is sent west to cover the passes over South Mountain and screen the Potomac River crossings. By mid morning the army is moving through Gettysburg and Fairfield with one corps moving via Fairfield and two along the Chambersburg Pike. The unexpected approach of the Union army necessitates that the army deploy and fight for its life. There is a moderately low likelihood of high fatigue in the Confederate units. THE NORTH: After besting the southern army in Maryland the Army of the Potomac starts an aggressive pursuit of the retreating rebel force. Forces gathered in from around the east help the army recover some of its losses over the past weeks. Most of the cavalry and one corps of infantry move cautiously toward the South Mountain passes to apply pressure on any crossing of the Potomac while the rest of the army moves out at first light on the trail of the retreating Army of Northern Virginia. Amazingly, with the opportunity at hand to strike the rebel forces a telling blow, staff errors result in five of the available corps taking the pike from Westminster. The resulting traffic snarl slows the advance immensely. Only one corps advances via Emmitsburg. By mid morning of the 9th the avant garde begins to develop the Confederate position near Gettysburg. Here is a chance to finish the work started in Maryland and crush the rebel army completely.

28. Stand in Pennsylvania (var. 7)
THE NORTH: After besting the southern army in Maryland the Army of the Potomac takes a day to sort itself out, and then moves in pursuit of the rebel force. The addition of forces gathered in from around the east help the army recover some of its losses over the past weeks. Most of the cavalry and one corps of infantry move cautiously toward the South Mountain passes to apply pressure on any crossing of the Potomac while the rest of the army follows the trail of the retreating Army of Northern Virginia.

By the afternoon of the 9th the avant garde begins to develop the Confederate position near Gettysburg. Here is a chance to finish the work started in Maryland and crush the rebel army completely. THE SOUTH: The army grudgingly withdraws from northern Maryland. Most of the southern horse screens the passes over South Mountain against the possibility of a Union move in that direction. In order both to gain time for the long trains to move south, and to try and lure the north into a costly fight, the main body of the army forms a line of battle near Gettysburg. Two corps cover the route west to Chambersburg, while one covers that through Fairfield. The better part of a day passes with little bother from northern troops. The time is spent digging in. Late in the afternoon of July 9th Union cavalry begins to make its presence felt. If the north can't break the line for a couple of days the army will fall back via Chambersburg and Fairfield.

31. Falling Waters, July 13, 1863 (var. 1)
THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac moves cautiously, but purposefully south along the eastern slopes of the mountains. Cavalry attempts to cut off the rebel army but is driven away by Confederate horse. The army assembles gradually along Antietam Creek, and, once assembled advances cautiously on the southern host. By the 13th the Potomac is receding and time is getting short to deal with the rebel army while it is still on northern soil with its back to a river. THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia retreats to Hagerstown, with the main body of the army arriving July 6 - July 7. Heated cavalry clashes as the army was in the process of arriving drove off marauding Union horse. The Potomac itself is not cooperating as it is well above the fordable stage. The army delays near Funkstown and then Hagerstown as a crossing is improvised, finally falling back to the west of Hagerstown on the 10th. The crossing is being planned for the night of the 13th. The 13th dawns and still no attack has come. Perhaps the army has gotten lucky. The southern force is well entrenched and any attack will have to be very strong to keep the withdrawal to Virginia from taking place.

33. Falling Waters, July 11, 1863 (var. 1)
THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac moves cautiously, but purposefully south along the eastern slopes of the mountains. The magnitude of the defeat of the rebel army emboldens the Union command to try for a knock out blow before the rebel forces can cross into Virginia. The cavalry probes were repulsed by the rebel horse and the arrival of the main body of their army, but by July 11th the Union army is on the scene and ready to attempt to crush the Confederate force.

34. Entrenched along Pipe Creek I (var. 12)
THE SOUTH: The Army of Northern Virginia concentrates in the Gettysburg area, then, screened by its cavalry, moves south on July 3rd. The advance is by the left flank. The axis of advance will be through Manchester and then on to Westminster. The hope is to break the Union line at what is expected to be its weakest point, and flank the strong defensive terrain of Parr's Ridge. While confidence is high, a tough fight is expected, as all intelligence indicates the northern army is massed along Big Pipe Creek and it has had plenty of time to organize its position. By mid morning on the 4th the army approaches the Union line and the fight is on. THE NORTH: The army deploys and has plenty of time to dig in along Big Pipe Creek. The front is very long, but features good defensive terrain supplemented by extensive field works. One corps is deployed on the left as a reserve. Early on July 4th pickets report masses of infantry and cavalry approaching. The fight is joined.

35. An avalanche heads south (var. 88)
THE SOUTH: Stuart's warnings of the Union presence north of the Potomac spur the Confederate command to order the army south, employing the superb road net through Gettysburg to facilitate this move. The cavalry also has enough information to guess at the real location of the main body of the army. By mid morning of the 30th the horse is nearing Gettysburg just as the lead elements of the army's infantry also approach that town. Robertson's and Jones' brigades, detailed to screen the routes to the Valley, move out on the 27th when the Union presence abates. They screen the right of the infantry, moving through Fairfield after a rapid march north. 2nd Corps responds sluggishly to the directive to move south. Led by Jenkins' cavalry Rodes' division only begins arriving in the late afternoon. Despite taking the York Pike, Early's division is also delayed in arriving. Johnson's division and 1st Corps get in an unimaginable snarl on the road to Cashtown and the van of this 30,000 man column doesn't approach Cashtown until late afternoon on the 30th. THE NORTH: On June 30th Buford's cavalry division moves south from Fairfield, through Emmitsburg, and then north towards Gettysburg, patrolling the left flank of the army. Enemy horse is encountered near Gettysburg, backed by masses of infantry. The call goes out for support from the Union foot and a fight brews. It takes some time for the Union cavalry to sort things out after the confusion on the 29th. But, by mid morning on the 30th, Kilpatrick's division has picked up the axis of the Confederate cavalry's advance and is passing through Littlestown, moving up the pike toward Gettysburg. 12th Corps is under orders to march from Taneytown to Littlestown, but, is ordered to move towards Gettysburg from that location and proceeds up the Westminster Pike. 1st Corps gets word of the situation near Gettysburg around noon and the left wing of the army is ordered to move north. 1st Corps moves out rapidly, with 11th following closely behind. 3rd Corps, en route from Taneytown to Emmitsburg, also presses its move north. Gregg's cavalry division is detailed to cover the Union right rear and moves up along the Westminster Pike on the morning of the 1st. The army command hesitates on the issue of bringing the most remote reserves forward. By the time a decision is made and 2nd Corps moves out it is evening on the 30th. 5th Corps is similarly delayed and camps at Westminster, heading out from there at daybreak. 6th Corps misunderstands its orders and marches to Hanover before turning west.

36. Only half prepared III (var. 4)
THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac shifts south as fast as possible while still maintaining its cohesion. The operations in Pennsylvania were successful, but most of the rebel army avoided combat with the Union forces. Intelligence puts the Confederate army in force along Antietam Creek In the late afternoon of July 6th cavalry with strong infantry support crosses South Mountain at three places. The remainder of the army advances employing the center route exclusively. By late morning the majority of the army will be west of the mountains and ready to give the rebel force what for. THE SOUTH: The plan was to construct a defense in depth, thoroughly entrenching the army in three lines. The first was to be along Antietam Creek. The second on the high ground to the rear of Hagerstown. Before work can begin on the third line the Union army makes its presence felt. Yankee cavalry backed by strong infantry support begins arriving in the area from several directions in the late afternoon of July 7th. By the morning of the 8th masses of infantry are appearing and work on the additional line of entrenchments can't proceed. Do or die time has come for the Army of Northern Virginia. 3rd Corps, the army reserve, is held in place by its commander, and is not guaranteed of release until ten a.m.

37. 2nd Corps moves west (var. 5)
THE SOUTH: July 1st, and elements of 2nd Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia move north of Gettysburg seeking to cross the mountains via the Chambersburg Pike. Two divisions of 2nd Corps have moved from Carlisle Barracks to Chambersburg via a route west of the mountains. Elements of 3rd Corps have advanced east of the mountains to cover the remaining division's move west. A skirmish on June 30th foreshadows more intense action on the 1st. The force east of the mountains needs to withdraw via the Pike by nightfall and reunite with the rest of the army in order to avoid the possibility of piecemeal destruction by the Army of the Potomac. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac is concentrated in northern Maryland. Elements of Buford's cavalry division screen to the north of the main body. On June 30th this force makes contact with Confederate infantry. Word goes back to bring up infantry support, setting the stage for a confrontation around the town of Gettysburg. Dawn on July 1st finds the Left Wing of the Union army in position to respond to the call. 1st Corps is camped at Marsh Creek, 3rd Corps at Bridgeport, and 11th Corps at Emmitsburg. 12th Corps, which is not part of the Left Wing, is at Littlestown. Elements of Stannard's brigade, newly transferred to 1st Corps, arrive during the day. Likewise, Lockewood's brigade, scraped together from troops in the east, arrives to bolster 12th Corps. While 1st and 11th Corps move out in a timely fashion, 3rd Corps is inexplicably delayed in moving to Gettysburg. 2nd Corps moves from the vicinity of Uniontown, camping near Gettysburg late on the night of July 1st. It rapidly becomes evident that the Confederate army is not moving to the east of the mountains, rather it is trying in to cross to the west side. A chance exists to defeat a portion of the Confederate force in detail.

38. Gregg moves west (var. 6)
THE NORTH: Late on July 2nd Gregg's cavalry division is given orders to reconnoiter north through Gettsyburg from the Union defensive line along Big Pipe Creek. By late afternoon on the 3rd the division travels through the Gettysburg area probing for signs of the rebel army. It encounters Confederate horse. One brigade has moved through Gettysburg along the Chambersburg Pike, while two are advancing on Fairfield. THE SOUTH: The Cavalry Division is tasked with the dual responsibilities of screening the army's shift to the Potomac and of divining the enemy's intentions if possible. By late on July 3rd the main body of the army has crossed the mountains and scouts along the length of the screen have been reporting the advance of Union horse for hours. Jenkins' brigade, covering the northern flank, withdraws toward Chambersburg well in advance of the Union troopers, while Imboden's and Rooney Lee's brigades have the lower passes of South Mountain well blocked and only skirmish. It is in the middle that the Confederate horse end up with a fight on their hands. With only hours to go before the sun sets the Union horse gets too close for comfort and the roads west must be defended. One brigade covers the Chambersburg Pike and three the route to Fairfield - and Hagerstown beyond.

39. The north wins the race (var. 15)
THE SOUTH: On July 1st, as the Army of Northern Virginia concentrates north of Gettysburg, elements of 3rd Corps get permission to advance on the town. The advance aims to both to feel out the Union presence detected there on June 30th, and to search for shoes rumored to be stored there - an item sorely needed by the rebel foot soldiers. As the lead elements near the vicinity of Gettysburg they encounter strong resistance from Union cavalry and soon the fight escalates. 2nd Corps is to move to Cashtown and link up with 3rd Corps. While Rodes' division is in transit pursuant to these orders word arrives of the fight brewing at Gettysburg and the division is turned south at Middletown. Early's division, originally ordered to move to Cashtown via Hunterstown and Mummasburg, had, due to the state of that road, already detoured to Heidlersburg, intending to move from there to Mummasburg. It was at Heidlersburg that the word to move south reached the division. Pender's division moves out after Heth's, accompanied by a battalion of the corps reserve artillery. Anderson's division, camped up the road at Fayetteville, moves out early in the morning, crossing South Mountain and arriving near Cashtown late in the morning. Johnson's division, after a march of some 25 miles along a road crowded with troops of 1st Corps, arrives near Cashtown at 4 p.m. The exhausted troops push on, followed by those of 1st Corps. Pickett's division, which had been left at Chambersburg guarding the army's rear, doesn't arrive till mid-afternoon on July 2nd. THE NORTH: The Union army moves north on June 30th intent on seeking out the Army of Northern Virginia and destroying it. 1st and 11th Corps advance from Emmitsburg behind the cavalry screen of Buford's division and camp near Gettysburg on the night of the 30th. 3rd Corps, the remainder of the left wing of the army, moves north on the Taneytown road and camps to the rear of Cemetery Ridge. It's an exhausted 12th Corps that collapses near dusk, having hoofed it all the way to Bonaughton to secure the right flank of the advance. Stannard's brigade, newly transferred to 1st Corps makes better time than expected. Likewise, Lockewood's brigade, scraped together from troops in the east, arrives to bolster 12th Corps. Kilpatrick's and Gregg's divisions arrive on July 2nd from their task of screening the Union right and right-rear, and Merritt's brigade arrives on the 3rd after screening the left. 2nd, 5th, and 6th Corps force march on the 30th. Due to the congestion near Taneytown caused by other elements of the Army of the Potomac, 2nd and 5th Corps are routed up the Pike to Emmitsburg, camping there on the 30th and pressing on to Gettysburg on July 1st. 6th Corps moves through Westminster and up the Pike, camping near Big Pipe Creek. It, too, moves out at first light on July 1st, heading for Gettysburg.

THE SOUTH: July 1st, and elements of 2nd Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia move north of Gettysburg seeking to cross the mountains via the Chambersburg Pike. One division of 2nd Corps has moved from Carlisle Barracks to Chambersburg via a route west of the mountains. Elements of 3rd Corps have advanced east of the mountains to cover the other two divisions' move west. A skirmish on June 30th foreshadows more intense action on the 1st. The force east of the mountains needs to withdraw via the Pike by nightfall and reunite with the rest of the army in order to avoid the possibility of piecemeal destruction by the Army of the Potomac. What appears to be the entire army of the Potomac arrives on July 1st to contest this move. THE NORTH: The Union army moves north on June 30th intent on seeking out the Army of Northern Virginia and destroying it. 1st and 11th Corps advance from Emmitsburg behind the cavalry screen of Buford's division and camp near Gettysburg on the night of the 30th. 3rd Corps, the remainder of the left wing of the army, moves north on the Taneytown road and camps to the rear of Cemetery Ridge. It's an exhausted 12th Corps that collapses near dusk, having hoofed it all the way to Bonaughton to secure the right flank of the advance. Stannard's brigade, newly transferred to 1st Corps makes better time than expected. 2nd, 5th, and 6th Corps are rested on the 30th. On July 1st 2nd Corps moves from the vicinity of Uniontown via Taneytown, arriving in the area of Gettysburg that evening. 5th Corps follows 2nd on the Taneytown road and 6th Corps moves via Westminster up the Pike to Gettysburg arriving after nightfall on the 1st.

51. Concentration faced by opposition (var. 3)
THE SOUTH: On June 29th 1st and 3rd Corps, screened by three brigades of cavalry move to cross the mountains and concentrate on Gettysburg. At the same time the far flung elements of 2nd Corps are ordered to join the army at Gettysburg. The location of the rest of the cavalry remains a mystery to the army command. During the afternoon of the 29th the avant guard of the army pushes back a Union cavalry screen covering the mountain passage and the army moves to the east of this barrier. Union infantry has been detected late in the day supporting their mounted counterparts. Perhaps the move east won't be as easy as anticipated. 2nd Corps is sluggish in its response to the directive to concentrate on Gettysburg. Led by Jenkins' cavalry Rodes' division only begins arriving in mid afternoon followed by Johnson. Despite taking the York Pike, Early's division is also delayed in arriving. THE NORTH: The army has force marched its way north from Frederick, Maryland and environs. 3rd Corps arrived at Gettysburg on the afternoon of June 29th in time to assist the cavalry screen in delaying what appeared to be a strong Confederate advance down the Chambersburg Pike. 12th Corps was hard on the heels of 3rd, and by nightfall was at the scene of the day's skirmishing. 1st and 11th Corps, moving via Taneytown, arrived at Gettysburg as night fell on the 29th. 5th and 2nd Corps made it as far as Emmitsburg and Taneytown respectively and will move out at dawn for Gettysburg. Two divisions of cavalry are off to the east covering the army's lines of communication from marauding Confederate cavalry, and won't be available for days. But the army is largely concentrated and now has a chance to do some damage. 6th Corps, the tail of the army, moves north from its camp south of Emmitsburg making good, but not great, time.

At the same time the far flung elements of 2nd Corps are ordered to join the army at Gettysburg. The mountains are crossed without incident, and the army moves south on the 29th, taking up positions covering the crossings of Marsh Creek and the Taneytown Road. Late in the day some skirmishing takes place with Union cavalry, but there is no serious contact. The cavalry screens the left flank. 2nd Corps moves to join the army, and by the morning of the 30th is a few miles north of Gettysburg. The corps is exhausted from the recent forced marches and may not resume its march till 10 a.m. The 30th finds increased pressure and the arrival of Union infantry. THE NORTH: The army force marches north from Frederick, Maryland on June 29th. The Cavalry Corps screens the advance of the rest of the army. Late on the 29th, south of Gettysburg near Marsh Creek, horse soldiers skirmish with Confederate infantry. The cavalry backs off to await the arrival of infantry support. 3rd and 12th Corps camp in the vicinity of Emmitsburg on the 29th, while 1st and 11th Corps bed down near Taneytown. The advance north begins again at dawn on the 30th. It will not go unopposed. 5th, 2nd and 6th Corps are to move out in the predawn hours and make their appearance on map at 5 a.m. along the Emmitsburg Road, Frederick Pike, and Westminster Pike respectively. The marches of the last few days have taken their toll, however, and there is only a moderate likelihood that they will arrive on map in a timely fashion.

They, too, move out at first light. Jenkins and Imboden are in support of 2nd Corps, while the rest of the cavalry division has raced north and is supporting 1st and 3rd Corps' advance. Take Westminster, Taneytown, Manchester, and the surrounding defensive terrain, and nothing lies between the army and Washington and Baltimore. The northern force will have to fight an offensive battle then - one in which their numerical superiority should be negated. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac races north on June 28th, pausing only shortly for a change in command and a shakeup in its organization. The change in command carried with it a demand that action be taken - now - regarding the invading Confederate army. That demand, coupled with the news that the opposing army is far closer to the capitol than expected, is the fuel needed to move the army north. By the evening of the 28th the cavalry had worked its way from the south side of the army north to screen the advance of the infantry. The exact disposition of the enemy forces is unknown and a screen is imperative. Dawn on the 29th finds the, now three division, Cavalry Corps advancing up the road to Emmitsburg, the Frederick pike, and towards Westminster via New Windsor. 3rd and 11th Corps, the left wing of the army, closely follow the cavalry moving up the road to Emmitsburg. 5th Corps, recently augmented by a brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserves sent from the defenses of Washington, advances immediately behind the cavalry along the Frederick pike. 1st Corps follows 5th. This delays 12th Corps started from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry on the morning of the 28th, and which enters the arena at in the afternoon. 2nd and 6th Corps, the right wing of the army, move to cover Westminster. These troops have the longest march, moving from Barnesville and Poolesville respectively, and not arriving until 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the 29th. Army command and the artillery reserve wait the passage of the infantry columns up the Frederick pike and then move north at 6 p.m. on June 29th. The Union army is further augmented by Stannard's brigade from Washington's defenses which arrives via Frederick late in the afternoon of June 30th, and Lockwood's brigade which follows on the morning of July 1st.

By the evening of the 28th the cavalry had worked its way from the south side of the army north to screen the advance of the infantry. The exact disposition of the enemy forces is unknown and a screen is imperative. Dawn on the 29th finds the, now three division, Cavalry Corps advancing up the road to Emmitsburg, the Frederick pike, and towards Westminster via New Windsor. 3rd Corps, just enough force to support the cavalry on the left, follows closely on the heels of the horse. If the enemy is too strong on this wing, the corps will fall back on Frederick. 5th Corps, recently augmented by a brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserves sent from the defenses of Washington, advances immediately behind the cavalry along the Frederick pike. 1st Corps follows 5th. This delays 12th Corps which started from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry on the morning of the 28th, and which enters the arena at 1 p.m. 11th Corps, which has moved with 1st Corps from the extreme left of the army, has a long wait while the other troops move up the road, and arrives north of Frederick at 3 p.m. 6th Corps, after a horrendous and congested march from Poolesville, camps north of Frederick for the night, resuming it's advance up the Frederick pike at first light on the 30th. 2nd Corps moves to cover Westminster. These troops have a long march, moving from Barnesville, and not arriving until 9 a.m. on the 29th. Army command and the artillery reserve wait the passage of the infantry columns up the Frederick pike and then move north at 6 p.m. on June 29th. The Union army is further augmented by Stannard's brigade from Washington's defenses which arrives via Frederick late in the afternoon of June 30th, and Lockwood's brigade which follows on the morning of July 1st. Given the consternation the Confederate army has caused, both in the capital and in army command, and the resulting confusion in the army, coordination is impaired. Arrival times are approximate and may vary greatly.

The crossing is accomplished in three columns. 2nd Corps moves straight down the Chambersburg pike, while 1st Corps travels via Fairfield, and 3rd Corps takes the road from Shippensburg to Arendtsville. The morning of the 30th finds 2nd Corps strung out along the pike a few miles from Gettysburg and the other two corps just completing their mountain crossings. The cavalry moves out and heads east and south, followed by the infantry. Union cavalry is encountered and the rest of the army rushes forward. The roads used by 1st and 3rd Corps are in terrible shape, and there is a high likelihood of extensive delays in these units arrival. THE NORTH: On June 29th the army probes north from Frederick, Maryland employing cavalry with strong infantry support. The Cavalry Corps screens the advance of the rest of the army. Dawn on the 30th finds the advance elements of the army south of Marsh Creek.

The advance north begins for the troops immediately available who the army command hopes will be able to gain time for the rest of the army to make its way to the field. The advance will not go unopposed. 5th, 2nd and 6th Corps, all still in the area of Frederick, move out upon getting word of the fight that is brewing. They won't make the area of operations until the afternoon of July 1st however. The marches of the past few days have worn heavily on the troops and there is only a moderate chance that these corps will show up in a timely fashion.

79. From out of the west III (var. 124)
THE SOUTH: By June 21st the pressure from Union cavalry and infantry in northern Virginia had decreased. Now for the switch. It appears that the Union army is shifting north. Banking on the normal slow movement of that body, the southern command recalls 2nd Corps from across the river, and sets 1st and 3rd Corps moving eastward hoping to catch the Union army in transition from the south bank of the Potomac to the north, and defeat it in detail. Only Imboden's command is left north of the Potomac, tasked to generate as much confusion and damage as possible. The move east begins on June 24th and is screened by most of the Confederate cavalry.

It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then moving to the north side of Goose Creek as it continues to the east. THE NORTH: The army began shifting north to Frederick, Maryland on June 21st. By the 23rd cavalry screening this move confirmed rumors that the rebel infantry had vanished from the north side of the Potomac. The Union cavalry elements still south of the Potomac screening the west and south of the army reported an increase in the rebel presence there. The army begins backtracking on the morning of the 24th. The cavalry south of the Potomac concentrates along the main routes from the Valley in response to the increased Confederate pressure. By that afternoon the increased presence has turned into masses of Confederate horse. The corps of the Union army which have yet to move north don't receive any orders due to a snafu at army headquarters and don't respond to the appearance of the rebel horse until nightfall on the 24th. The 1st, 3rd, and 11th Corps of the army, followed by the rest of the army's cavalry move to rejoin the army. The crossing at Edward's Ferry is packed and it is not until the 25th that they begin to arrive. Also on the 25th the army also is joined by elements from the defenses of Washington. The army command is seized by inertia and both it and the Artillery Reserve are delayed in arriving.

80. From out of the west I (var. 29)
THE SOUTH: By June 21st the pressure from Union cavalry and infantry in northern Virginia had decreased. Now for the switch. It appears that the Union army is shifting north. Banking on the normal slow movement of that body, the southern command recalls 2nd Corps from across the river, and sets 1st and 3rd Corps moving eastward hoping to catch the Union army in transition from the south bank of the Potomac to the north, and defeat it in detail. Only Imboden's command is left north of the Potomac, tasked to generate as much confusion and damage as possible. The move east begins on June 24th and is screened by most of the Confederate cavalry. By the afternoon of the 24th significant contact is being had west of the Bull Run Mountains. The cavalry's approach is balanced in nature, mainly along the Snicker's and Ashbey's Gap Turnpikes where it screens the advance of 1st and 3rd Corps. 1st Corps leads the way for the infantry of the army. It crosses the mountains on the Ashbey's Gap Pike, and then continues along that road. 3rd Corps moves via the Snicker's Gap Pike over the mountains and continues along that fast paced route. After marching back across the Potomac, 2nd Corps reunites with regiments left behind at Winchester and moves east. It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then moving to the north side of Goose Creek as it continues to the east. THE NORTH: The army began shifting north to Frederick, Maryland on June 21st. By the 23rd cavalry screening this move confirmed rumors that the rebel infantry had vanished from the north side of the Potomac. The Union cavalry elements still south of the Potomac screening the west and south of the army reported an increase in the rebel presence there.

81. Cavalry skirmishes (var. 32)
THE SOUTH: Confederate cavalry, probing south from the army's position around Gettysburg, encounters Union horse north of Big Pipe Creek in the late afternoon of June 30th. The Confederate force enters on the road to Two Taverns and along the Gettysburg Pike. The cavalry clash lasts till nightfall as each side attempts to gather intelligence on the enemy's position and plans. THE NORTH: The Cavalry Corps screens the Union army as it digs in along Pipe Creek. In the afternoon of June 30th rebel horse approaches and a fight develops which lasts till dark. Each side tries to collect information on the other's dispositions and plans. North of the center of the Union line the horse screens a wide area north of Westminster. Two brigades of the Second Division are deployed forward, with one held in reserve.

82. The fight north I (var. 20)
THE SOUTH: The army moves east and south on the 27th. 2nd Corps moves from Chambersburg via Gettysburg and Littlestown to Westminster while the rest of the army moves directly over the mountains without having moved further north. By the 29th the command is taking up and improving defensive positions along Little Pipe Creek. Digging in continues non-stop throughout June 30th as the cavalry screen relays intelligence on the Union army's progress north. The Yanks are coming, but where they will make their play is still very up in the air, so substantial reserves back up the rest of the army which covers a very broad front. July 1st sees the Union forces make their presence known. THE NORTH: The main body of the Army of the Potomac begins moving north from around Manassas on June 27th. Additional intelligence turns the move north into a race north with the army pausing only shortly for a change in command and a shakeup in its organization. The change in command carries with it a demand that action be taken - now - regarding the invading Confederate army. That demand, coupled with the news that the opposing army is far closer to the capitol than expected, is the fuel needed to spur the army north. Plans for a concentration at Frederick or for forming a defensive line fall by the wayside as reports have the rebel forces already entering northern Maryland on June 29th. The army moves north along several axes screened by the Cavalry Corps which attempts to provide intelligence as to the enemy's dispositions. Given the consternation the Confederate army has caused, both in the capital and in army command, and the resulting confusion in the army, coordination is impaired. Arrival times are approximate and may vary greatly.

83. Hasty movement (var. 66)
THE SOUTH: The army begins the move over the mountains late in the afternoon on June 27th. The army marches till midnight and resumes at dawn on the 28th. The army advances en masse down the Chambersburg pike. The cavalry screen is active in covering this movement and reporting on Union strength. By mid day the advance contacts Union outposts and the infantry begin to deploy. Stiff resistance is expected. The pike, while the best road over the mountains, has been severely congested by the entire army's use of this route. There is the possibility significant delays in the arrival of the remainder of the army. THE NORTH: 11th Corps is in the lead of the army rushing north. It passes through Emmitsburg on June 27th, and then encounters Confederate cavalry south of Gettysburg. This covering force is driven in with no more than minor skirmishes occurring. Nightfall on the 27th finds Gettysburg occupied by 11th Corps. Word from the local population and scouts has the Confederate army everywhere at once. Pickets are pushed out in all directions from the town. 1st Corps comes up from Emmitsburg during the morning of the 28th. Confederate infantry is spotted advancing from the west around noon, just as 1st Corps is arriving. The rest of the army rushes north. The arrival of these forces occurs over a three day period, as some of the army has had to march all the way from northern Virginia. The Cavalry Corps actually has the longest march of any element of the army as it has to move from screening the west and south flanks of the army in Virginia to covering the northern edge of the advance to Pennsylvania. One division of cavalry hurries north to try and catch up with the infantry advance. Two divisions patrol the eastern flank of the army and arrive during the morning of July 2nd.

84. From the four corners they come (var. 203)
THE SOUTH: The discovery on June 27th of Union infantry moving via Emmitsburg towards Gettysburg is promptly communicated by Jenkins' scouts to Early's division. During the night of the 27th Early prepares to reverse course and move on Gettysburg. Word went to the main army and the other divisions of 2nd Corps at the same time it was sent to Early. Gordon's brigade marches all night and unites with Early in time to start the march west at first light. By noon on the 28th the division is nearing Gettysburg. Word is sent north to the rest of 2nd Corps. Troops are immediately put in motion, some taking the road by 2 a.m. on the 28th. The long column, led by Jenkins' cavalry brigade begins to appear in the early afternoon of June 28th. The main body of the army gets word of the Union movement north almost as soon as Early's division. 1st and 3rd Corps are set in motion from Chambersburg on the morning of the 28th, screened by Imboden's command. The foot can't keep pace with the cavalry screen and it's not till dusk that the infantry clears the mountains. "Grumble" Jones' and Robertson's commands experience delays in transit from Virginia, not arriving until the morning of June 29th. Three brigades of the Cavalry Division, "of necessity" ride around the Union army. They draw a good deal of attention from northern horse, and lose contact with the main body of the army. This game of hide and seek diverts Union cavalry, so it serves some purpose. It also delays the arrival of the army's eyes until July 2nd. THE NORTH: 11th Corps is in the lead of the army rushing north. It passes through Emmitsburg on June 27th, arriving in Gettysburg that night. Word from the local population and scouts has the Confederate army everywhere at once. Pickets are pushed out in all directions from the town. 1st Corps comes up from Emmitsburg during the morning of the 28th. Confederate infantry is spotted advancing from the east around noon, just as 1st Corps is arriving. The rest of the army rushes north. The arrival of these forces occurs over a three day period, as some of the army has had to march all the way from northern Virginia. A tremendous pace is set and some units manage to arrive earlier than anticipated. The Cavalry Corps actually has the longest march of any element of the army as it has to move from screening the west and south flanks of the army in Virginia to covering the northern edge of the advance to Pennsylvania. The job is complicated by masses of rebel horse loose in the Union rear. One division is ordered to catch up with the infantry advance, while two pursue the marauding Confederate cavalry. The pursuit is broken off and these two divisions begin arriving during the morning of July 1st.

85. Three approaches III (var. 1)
THE SOUTH: The army moves over the mountains from Chambersburg on June 30th. The crossing is accomplished in three columns. 2nd Corps moves straight down the Chambersburg pike, while 1st Corps travels via Fairfield, and 3rd Corps takes the road from Shippensburg to Arendtsville. Late that afternoon the column moving down the Chambersburg Pike encounters first cavalry and, then, infantry, blocking their advance. The other two corps are just completing their mountain crossings during the morning of July 1st. Sunrise on July 1st reveals a different picture than that expected. Rough day coming. THE NORTH: The army probed north from Frederick, Maryland and environs on June 28th. 3rd Corps and 12th Corps arrived at Gettysburg on the afternoon of June 29th. They advance west of town and occupy good defensive terrain. Word goes out to bring the rest of the army forward as a Confederate advance is in the wind. 1st and 11th Corps arrive early on the 30th. During the course of the 30th 2nd and 5th Corps arrive. Late on the 30th Union infantry and cavalry skirmish with, first Confederate cavalry, and then, infantry. 6th Corps, the tail of the army, is delayed in its start from its camp south of Emmitsburg.

86. Massed along the pike III (var. 7)
THE SOUTH: The army moves over the mountains from Chambersburg on June 30th with all three corps moving directly down the Chambersburg pike. Late that afternoon the column encounters first cavalry and, then, infantry, blocking their advance. The morning of July 1st find the army strung out along the Chambersburg pike. Sunrise on July 1st reveals a different picture than that expected. Rough day coming. The pike, while the best road over the mountains, has been severely congested by the entire army's use of this route. There is a moderate probability of significant delays in the arrival of the remainder of the army. THE NORTH: The army probed north from Frederick, Maryland and environs on June 28th. 3rd Corps and 12th Corps arrived at Gettysburg on the afternoon of June 29th. They advance west of town and occupy good defensive terrain. Word goes out to bring the rest of the army forward as a Confederate advance is in the wind. 1st and 11th Corps arrive early on the 30th.

They advance west of town and occupy good defensive terrain. 1st and 11th Corps arrive that night. During the course of the 30th 2nd and 5th Corps arrive. As these units arrive the defensive position is being strengthened. Late on the 30th Union infantry and cavalry skirmish with, first Confederate cavalry, and then, infantry. 6th Corps, the tail of the army, gets on the road early, and marches with a vengeance on its way north.

88. Meeting engagement! I (var. 7)
THE SOUTH: The army moves over the mountains from Chambersburg on June 29th. The morning of the 30th finds it strung out along the pike a few miles from Gettysburg. The cavalry moves out and heads east and south, followed by 2nd Corps. Union cavalry is encountered and the rest of the army rushes forward. The long column on the pike has proven to be unwieldy. 1st and 3rd Corps may experience severe delays in their march. THE NORTH: On June 29th the army probes north from Frederick, Maryland employing cavalry with strong infantry support. The Cavalry Corps screens the advance of the rest of the army. Dawn on the 30th finds the advance elements of the army south of Marsh Creek. As cavalry in that area moves north it clashes with Confederate horse soldiers and the call goes out for the rest of the army to hasten north. The advance north begins for the troops immediately available who the army command hopes will be able to gain time for the rest of the army to make its way to the field. The advance will not go unopposed. 5th, 2nd and 6th Corps, all still in the area of Frederick, move out upon getting word of the fight that is brewing. They won't make the area of operations until the afternoon of July 1st however. The marches of the past few days have worn heavily on the troops and there is only a moderate chance that these corps will show up in a timely fashion.

89. From out of the west II (var. 196)
THE SOUTH: By June 21st the pressure from Union cavalry and infantry in northern Virginia had decreased. Now for the switch. It appears that the Union army is shifting north. Banking on the normal slow movement of that body, the southern command recalls 2nd Corps from across the river, and sets 1st and 3rd Corps moving eastward hoping to catch the Union army in transition from the south bank of the Potomac to the north, and defeat it in detail. Only Imboden's command is left north of the Potomac, tasked to generate as much confusion and damage as possible. The move east begins on June 24th and is screened by most of the Confederate cavalry. By the afternoon of the 24th significant contact is being had west of the Bull Run Mountains. The cavalry's approach is focused to the north with the mass of the horse advancing via Snicker's Gap. Only one brigade screens the advance via Ashbey's Gap. 1st Corps leads the way for the infantry of the army. It crosses the mountains on the Ashbey's Gap Pike, and then continues along that road. 3rd Corps moves via the Snicker's Gap Pike over the mountains and continues along that fast paced route. After marching back across the Potomac, 2nd Corps reunites with regiments left behind at Winchester and moves east. It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then moving to the north side of Goose Creek as it continues to the east. THE NORTH: The army remained in place in the area west and south of Manassas while sending two corps north of the Potomac to screen any rebel forces that have crossed the river. Contact with the rebel army is all but lost on the 21st despite aggressive scouting. But on the 23rd reports from north of the Potomac indicate that the rebel infantry has vanished from that area. The corps north of the river are ordered to return to the south bank. By the 24th pressure is increasing to the west of the army, culminating in masses of Confederate cavalry appearing on the afternoon of the 24th - surely the sign of infantry to come. The five corps of the Union army which are still south of the Potomac are delayed in responding to the appearance of the rebel horse, not reacting until nightfall. 1st and 11th Corps, dispatched across the Potomac to shield Washington from rebels north of the river, promptly respond to the call to recross the river, arriving on June 25th. On the 25th the army also is joined by elements from the defenses of Washington. The army command is seized by inertia and both it and the Artillery Reserve are delayed in arriving.

90. Block the Crossings (var. 3)
THE NORTH: 1st and 11th Corps have moved north of the Potomac, and aggressively patrol towards Hagerstown and the river crossings in that area. By the morning of June 26th Sharpsburg and Boonsborough are occupied. The local population confirms earlier intelligence reports that large bodies of Confederate troops had been in the area. These forces are not present late on the 25th as the Union forces cross the mountains. That situation changes rapidly as Rebel infantry is encountered on the 26th as the two corps move further west. Care must be exercised as the main body of the Union army lies miles and a river crossing away. THE SOUTH: By the morning of June 26th, 3rd Corps had already crossed the Potomac and moved north. Pickett's division and the artillery of 1st Corps had crossed the evening before. McLaws and Hood were preparing to cross into Maryland. Intelligence reports during the night put Union forces in the area, but the accuracy of these reports, and the whereabouts and strength of any northern forces that might be present are unknown. Let's just say that the situation becomes less ambiguous over the course of the day. Anderson's division and the 3rd Corps' artillery reserve had camped near Hagerstown on the evening of June 25th. After moving up the pike towards Greencastle early on the 26th, word of Union forces to the west of the mountains reaches this force. After some hesitation, further word arrives from 1st Corps requesting assistance and the force backtracks towards Hagerstown.

91. The fight north II (var. 29)
THE SOUTH: The Cavalry Division finds the federal strength around Manassas too strong to circumvent. When it reports the Army of the Potomac's movement north to army command, it too moves north via Sharpsburg, screening the right flank of the Confederate command. In response to the order to move south 2nd Corps masses at Littlestown by the 29th, and reaches Westminster on the 30th, deploying from there as the left of the Confederate army. Jenkins and Imboden screen 2nd Corps. 1st and 3rd Corps move out from Chambersburg on the 28th, screened by the remainder of the cavalry. The van of this force camps around Gettysburg that evening, moving south to Emmitsburg on the 29th. The reunited Confederate army masses along the pike between Emmitsburg and Westminster. The cavalry division is deployed to the front of this troop concentration. Once the axis of the Union army's advance is determined, the entire rebel force will be able to deploy appropriately. July 1st finds the army in place as the northern host makes its appearance. THE NORTH: The main body of the Army of the Potomac begins moving north from around Manassas on June 27th. Additional intelligence turns the move north into a race north with the army pausing only shortly for a change in command and a shakeup in its organization. The change in command carries with it a demand that action be taken - now - regarding the invading Confederate army.

Only one brigade apiece screen the advances over Snicker's and Ashbey's Gaps. 1st Corps leads the way for the infantry of the army. It advances over the mountains via the Snicker's Gap Pike then continues along that road. 3rd Corps moves via the Snicker's Gap Pike over the mountains, then leaves the road to move north of Goose Creek. After marching back across the Potomac, 2nd Corps reunites with regiments left behind at Winchester and moves east. It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then moving to the north side of Goose Creek as it continues to the east. THE NORTH: The army remained in place in the area west and south of Manassas while sending two corps north of the Potomac to screen any rebel forces that have crossed the river. Contact with the rebel army is all but lost on the 21st despite aggressive scouting. But on the 23rd reports from north of the Potomac indicate that the rebel infantry has vanished from that area. The corps north of the river are ordered to return to the south bank. By the 24th pressure is increasing to the west of the army, culminating in masses of Confederate cavalry appearing on the afternoon of the 24th - surely the sign of infantry to come. Army command still doesn't fully believe that the rebel army has shifted back south of the river, and holds the five corps of the Union army which are still south of the Potomac in place until the morning of June 25th. 1st and 11th Corps, dispatched across the Potomac to shield Washington from rebels north of the river, have perhaps been too enthusiastic in their duty and must reverse course all the way from South Mountain to respond to the call to recross the river. These elements don't arrive until June 26th. On the 25th the army also is joined by elements from the defenses of Washington.

It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then continuing along the pike to the east and destiny. THE NORTH: The army began shifting north to Frederick, Maryland on June 21st. By the 23rd cavalry screening this move confirmed rumors that the rebel infantry had vanished from the north side of the Potomac. The Union cavalry elements still south of the Potomac screening the west and south of the army reported an increase in the rebel presence there. The army begins backtracking on the morning of the 24th. The cavalry south of the Potomac is spread out covering a huge arc of territory. By that afternoon the increased presence has turned into masses of Confederate horse. The corps of the Union army which have yet to move north don't receive any orders due to a snafu at army headquarters. It is morning on the 25th before they begin to react to the Confederate presence. The 1st, 3rd, and 11th Corps of the army, followed by the rest of the army's cavalry move to rejoin the army. The crossing at Edward's Ferry is packed, the crossing is confused and major delays should be expected in the arrival of these forces on the 25th. Also on the 25th the army also is joined by elements from the defenses of Washington. The army command is seized by inertia and both it and the Artillery Reserve are delayed in arriving.

It's the 27th of June before they are able to link up with the rest of the army. At least there is positive confirmation that the rebel infantry has left the north side of the river. The Union government is seized by panic, and elements from the Washington defenses, scheduled to reinforce the field army, are recalled to the defend of the capitol.

95. From out of the west VII (var. 78)
THE SOUTH: By June 21st the pressure from Union cavalry and infantry in northern Virginia had decreased. Now for the switch. It appears that the Union army is shifting north. Banking on the normal slow movement of that body, the southern command recalls 2nd Corps from across the river, and sets 1st and 3rd Corps moving eastward hoping to catch the Union army in transition from the south bank of the Potomac to the north, and defeat it in detail. Only Imboden's command is left north of the Potomac, tasked to generate as much confusion and damage as possible. The move east begins on June 24th and is screened by most of the Confederate cavalry. By the afternoon of the 24th significant contact is being had west of the Bull Run Mountains. The cavalry's approach is focused to the north with the mass of the horse advancing via Snicker's Gap, then sidestepping to move north of Goose Creek on Outland Mills. Only one brigade apiece screen the advances over Snicker's and Ashbey's Gaps. 1st Corps leads the way for the infantry of the army. It crosses the mountains on the Ashbey's Gap Pike, and then continues along that road. 3rd Corps moves via the Ashbey's Gap Pike over the mountains and advances to the east. After marching back across the Potomac, 2nd Corps reunites with regiments left behind at Winchester and moves east. It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then continuing along the pike to the east and destiny. THE NORTH: The army began shifting north to Frederick, Maryland on June 21st. By the 23rd cavalry screening this move confirmed rumors that the rebel infantry had vanished from the north side of the Potomac. The Union cavalry elements still south of the Potomac screening the west and south of the army reported an increase in the rebel presence there. The army begins backtracking on the morning of the 24th. The cavalry south of the Potomac is spread out covering a huge arc of territory. By that afternoon the increased presence has turned into masses of Confederate horse. The corps of the Union army which have yet to move north promptly respond to the appearance of the rebel horse. The 1st, 3rd, and 11th Corps of the army, followed by the rest of the army's cavalry move to rejoin the army. The crossing at Edward's Ferry is packed, the crossing is confused and major delays should be expected in the arrival of these forces on the 25th. Also on the 25th the army also is joined by elements from the defenses of Washington. The army command is seized by inertia and both it and the Artillery Reserve are delayed in arriving.

Only Imboden's command is left north of the Potomac, tasked to generate as much confusion and damage as possible. The move east begins on June 24th and is screened by most of the Confederate cavalry. By the afternoon of the 24th significant contact is being had west of the Bull Run Mountains. The cavalry's approach is balanced in nature, mainly along the Snicker's and Ashbey's Gap Turnpikes where it screens the advance of 1st and 3rd Corps. 1st Corps leads the way for the infantry of the army. It crosses the mountains on the Ashbey's Gap Pike, and then continues along that road. 3rd Corps moves via the Ashbey's Gap Pike over the mountains and advances to the east. After marching back across the Potomac, 2nd Corps reunites with regiments left behind at Winchester and moves east. It brings up the rear of the army, traveling over Snicker's Gap on the pike, and then continuing along the pike to the east and destiny. THE NORTH: The army remained in place in the area west and south of Manassas while sending two corps north of the Potomac to screen any rebel forces that have crossed the river. Contact with the rebel army is all but lost on the 21st despite aggressive scouting. But on the 23rd reports from north of the Potomac indicate that the rebel infantry has vanished from that area. The corps north of the river are ordered to return to the south bank. By the 24th pressure is increasing to the west of the army, culminating in masses of Confederate cavalry appearing on the afternoon of the 24th - surely the sign of infantry to come. The five corps of the Union army which are still south of the Potomac are delayed in responding to the appearance of the rebel horse, not reacting until nightfall. 1st and 11th Corps, dispatched across the Potomac to shield Washington from rebels north of the river, have perhaps been too enthusiastic in their duty and must reverse course all the way from South Mountain to respond to the call to recross the river. These elements don't arrive until June 26th. On the 25th the army also is joined by elements from the defenses of Washington. The army command is seized by inertia and both it and the Artillery Reserve are delayed in arriving.

By the afternoon of June 24th 6th Corps - the only army corps still south of the river when the order to countermarch arrived - has camped north of Goose Creek. Despite the news late in the day of the arrival of large numbers of Confederate cavalry, the decision is made to delay the advance of the corps until dawn, rather than chance around with marauding Confederate cavalry at night. The 1st, 3rd, and 11th Corps of the army, followed by the rest of the army's cavalry move to rejoin the army. The crossing at Edward's Ferry is packed, the crossing is confused and delays may occur in the arrival of these forces on the 25th. Army command seems to be seized by inertia and is delayed in responding to the field, along with the guns of the Artillery Reserve. Panic seizes the nation's capitol and elements of the Washington defenses, scheduled to transferred to the Army of the Potomac, are retained in order to man the local defenses. 2nd, 5th, and 12th Corps, after a brutal countermarch and delays due to chaos at the river crossing, begin arriving during the evening of the 26th.

101. Entrenched along Pipe Creek IV (var. 10)
THE SOUTH: The cavalry fight of the 29th reveals that the Union intends to fight along the line of Big Pipe Creek. Evidently the Yankee army can't be lured into offense, so the southern army must make the move. The army moves south in a well controlled fashion. The move south has been by the left flank. The cavalry division screens the flanks of this advance. The plan is to attack with the all three corps in the Manchester area - the extreme right of the Union line - turning the Union position there, and rolling it up and away from Washington. The lead corps is deployed in a line of battle two divisions wide. The following corps will be released for the fight early in the morning. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. The command gambles on a Confederate advance on the right of the line and deploys the reserves near this area. One division of the Cavalry Corps is in reserve, while the other two cover the flanks of the army. All day on July 2nd word filters in of a southern advance culminating with rebel forces being spotted by the main body of the army late in the day. Dawn on July 3rd sees the beginning of a massive struggle.

Despite the best efforts of the army some straggling has occurred and the main body is somewhat strung out as it moves north. THE SOUTH: The army has been converging on Gettysburg with some elements moving that direction as early as June 27th. By the 29th 2nd Corps is based around the town, screened by the cavalry division - the last elements of which arrived after dark on the 28th. By the afternoon of the 29th 1st and 3rd Corps are nearing Gettysburg, marching from Chambersburg. None too soon it would appear, as the past few days of skirmishing with Union cavalry is forgotten with the appearance of long columns of blue clad infantry. The two corps are concentrated but have not made as good time as the command hoped for.

106. Attack from the west VI (var. 85)
THE SOUTH: The cavalry fight of the 29th reveals that the Union intends to fight along the line of Big Pipe Creek. The army is sent on an epic march in an effort to envelop the Union left. The cavalry division screens the Union army as this march is made. On July 4th Jones' brigade advances in the lead of the Confederate infantry, skirmishing with Union cavalry. The southern army moves west of the mountains and south. The army then turns east and advances on the Union defensive position, hoping to envelop its left flank. Dawn on July 5th finds 1st Corps, having moved along the pike from Hagerstown, nearing the Union position east of Taneytown. 2nd Corps follows 1st Corps in a seemingly endless stream of butternut. 3rd Corps is held south of Two Taverns. It is to move south on the 5th and advance down the Pike on Westminster. If enough of the Union army reacts to the attack from the west, 3rd Corps should be able to fall on their flank with devastating effect. The corps commander takes a fall from his horse as the advance is preparing to move out. It may take considerable time to recover from his fall, potentially delaying the arrival of the corps until later than early afternoon. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. Days pass and all the army encounters is an impenetrable cavalry screen. Late on July 3rd word is finally received that there are large bodies of rebel troops moving to envelop the armies left rear. The problem is that there is no assurance that this force will not be operating in conjunction with an attack elsewhere. The cavalry screen falls back before the Confederate advance, and 1st Corps shifts its reserve division to extend the defensive line south along Little Pipe Creek. Washington has different information on the axis of the Confederate advance, and demands that army command not release the reserve corps, posted behind the right flank, until the location of the Confederate advance is confirmed. This meddling is compounded by lost messages and the reserves may not be released until late morning on July 5th.

Evidently the Yankee army can't be lured into offense, so the southern army must make the move. The army moves south in a well controlled fashion. The move south has been along the pike to Westminster and via Taneytown with the cavalry division screening the flanks of the advance. The plan is to attack with the one corps along the Westminster Pike while the main advance moves along the axis of Westminster to Taneytown. Crush the left and left center of the Union line, and roll through Westminster to Washington sums the goal up. The lead corps deploy with two divisions forward to start the attack. The following corps will be unavailable to assist the attack until early in the afternoon. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. The command gambles on a Confederate advance on the right of the line and deploys the reserves near this area. These reserves are inexplicably delayed in responding to the Confederate presence. One division of the Cavalry Corps is in reserve, while the other two cover the flanks of the army. All day on July 2nd word filters in of a southern advance culminating with rebel forces being spotted by the main body of the army late in the day.

116. Attack from the east III (var. 152)
THE SOUTH: The cavalry fight of the 29th reveals that the Union intends to fight along the line of Big Pipe Creek. The army is sent on an epic march in an effort to envelop the Union right. The cavalry division screens the Union army as this march is made. On July 4th Jenkins' brigade detects the northern forces to its front falling back, evidently in response to the Confederate turning movement. Jenkins advances and occupies Manchester, feeling out the new Union position. Imboden's brigade, which has been screening the Confederate advance and skirmishing with Union cavalry for days, pushes west south of Manchester. 1st Corps leads the Confederate advance, moving through Manchester in the early morning hours. 2nd Corps moves along a parallel route to 1st Corps, arriving south of the road to York at daybreak. 3rd Corps moves even further south than 2nd Corps planning to arrive near Snydersburg mid morning on July 5th. The road net is unfamiliar, and there is a real chance of significant delays in the corps' arrival. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. Days pass and all the army encounters is an impenetrable cavalry screen. Late on July 3rd word is finally received that there are large bodies of rebel troops moving to envelop the armies right rear. The problem is that there is no assurance that this force will not be operating in conjunction with an attack elsewhere. 6th Corps is bent back on itself, abandoning Manchester. Late on July 4th Gregg's cavalry division falls back before Confederate horse south of Manchester. The two reserve corps are already positioned on the right flank. 12th Corps is ordered forward to reinforce 6th Corps, while 2nd Corps remains in reserve.

117. Defense of the Gaps (var. 29)
THE SOUTH: 1st Corps moves north and takes up forward positions at the various passages of the Bull Run Mountains. Cavalry screens the flanks of the infantry. The force's orders are to hold until nightfall of June 18th and then move westward into the Valley. Jones' cavalry brigade, which had been tasked with screening the movement along the Rappahannock, is delayed along the river and doesn't arrive until the afternoon of June 18th. 1st Corps is deployed with all three divisions forward. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac has shifted north to the vicinity of Manassas. On the 16th orders go out to the Cavalry Corps to aggressively push to the west to both cover a shift of the army in that direction and determine, if possible, the disposition of the rebel army. The morning of the 17th finds the cavalry moving out from Manassas. The goal is to force the pass at Aldie and push west to develop the situation. 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Cavalry Division leads the advance. 5th Corps moves forward to Gum Springs on the 17th and advances in support of the cavalry in the morning of the 18th.

118. Festung Potomac (var. 10)
THE SOUTH: The plan calls for a defense in depth, thoroughly entrenching the army in three lines. The first line is along Antietam Creek; the second on the high ground to the rear of Hagerstown; and the third on strong terrain covering the bridge at Falling Waters. By the evening of July 8th the work is completed. A good thing it is as the Union army begins to make its presence felt at that time. Yankee cavalry backed by strong infantry support begins arriving in the area from several directions late that afternoon. By the morning of the 9th masses of infantry are appearing. Do or die time has come for the Army of Northern Virginia. THE NORTH: The Army of the Potomac shifts west as fast as possible while still maintaining its cohesion. Intelligence puts the Confederate army in force along Antietam Creek In the late afternoon of July 8th cavalry with strong infantry support crosses South Mountain at three places. The remainder of the army advances employing the central route exclusively. By late morning the majority of the army will be west of the mountains and ready to give the rebel force what for. High chance of reinforcements arriving on time.

119. Shift east and north (var. 3)
THE NORTH: The evening of June 23rd finds the Union army in transit to Frederick, Maryland when intelligence arrives indicating that the rebel army has crossed the mountains and is moving on Westminster. The army is ordered to shift east to cover Washington, and then to advance north. This move is led by one division of cavalry which, by the afternoon of June 25th is pushing towards the last known rebel position near Westminster. The second division of Union cavalry must still screen the rest of the army's crossing of the Potomac, and move north. Consequently it doesn't arrive on the field until the morning of June 27th. The government is so concerned for the security of the capitol that it refuses to permit the release of any of the troops from the Department of Washington to the field army. The main body of the Union army is in transit to Frederick when word arrives of the Confederate presence east of the mountains. Major elements of the army are still south of the Potomac. The force is shifted east and north. Hard marching and good staff work get the lead infantry elements in the area of operations at the same time as the cavalry. Even making good time can't compensate for the length some units must travel, and it is June 27th before the entire army is present. THE SOUTH: 2nd Corps moves out from Hagerstown on June 21st. It crosses the mountain on the pike unopposed, but observed. Moving behind Jenkins' and Imboden's cavalry brigades the corps advances through Emmitsburg and Taneytown, reaching Westminster in the afternoon of June 24th. The corps pushes south on the 25th before encountering anything more than token resistance. 1st and 3rd Corps move rapidly to Winchester, then turn north without pause. They cross the Potomac on June 23rd and move north to Hagerstown. The march has been hard and the corps tarry near Hagerstown, getting a late start on June 24th on the move east over the mountains. The afternoon of June 25th finds the head the column just clearing the end of the passage and moving towards Emmitsburg. The Cavalry Division covers the shift of the army from northern Virginia, and then follows suit. The majority of the division moves via Winchester, crossing the Potomac immediately after 1st and 3rd Corps. This force then takes a more southerly route over the mountains via Mechanicstown, screening the advance of the infantry and arriving in the theater of operations in the afternoon of June 25th. Two brigades of the cavalry cover the entire movement before heading north, and, after following the same route as the rest of the division, arrive on June 28th.

In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. The command gambles on a Confederate advance on the right of the line and deploys the reserves near this area. These reserves may be delayed in their release. One division of the Cavalry Corps is in reserve, while the other two cover the flanks of the army. All day on July 2nd word filters in of a southern advance culminating with rebel forces being spotted by the main body of the army late in the day. Dawn on July 3rd sees the beginning of a massive struggle.

130. Entrenched along Pipe Creek XVIII (var. 3)
THE SOUTH: The cavalry fight of the 29th reveals that the Union intends to fight along the line of Big Pipe Creek. Evidently the Yankee army can't be lured into offense, so the southern army must make the move. The army moves south in a well controlled fashion. The move south has been along the pike to Westminster and via Taneytown with the cavalry division screening the flanks of the advance. The plan is to attack with the one corps along the Westminster Pike while the main advance moves along the axis of Westminster to Taneytown. Crush the left and left center of the Union line, and roll through Westminster to Washington sums the goal up. The lead corps deploy with one division forward to start the attack. The following corps will be available to assist the attack early in the morning. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek.

Evidently the Yankee army can't be lured into offense, so the southern army must make the move. The army moves south in a well controlled fashion. The move south is accomplished along 3 supporting routes - via Taneytown, along the Westminster Pike, and using the Manchester road. The intent is to apply force all along the Union line at once. The corps each deploy with one division forward to start the attack. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek.

132. Attack from the east I (var. 228)
THE SOUTH: The cavalry fight of the 29th reveals that the Union intends to fight along the line of Big Pipe Creek. The army is sent on an epic march in an effort to envelop the Union right. The cavalry division screens the Union army as this march is made. On July 4th Jenkins' brigade detects the northern forces to its front falling back, evidently in response to the Confederate turning movement. Jenkins advances and occupies Manchester, feeling out the new Union position. Imboden's brigade, which has been screening the Confederate advance and skirmishing with Union cavalry for days, pushes west south of Manchester. 1st Corps leads the Confederate advance, moving through Manchester in the early morning hours. 2nd Corps moves along a parallel route to 1st Corps, arriving south of the road to York at daybreak. 3rd Corps moves even further north than 2nd Corps, and arrives north of Dug Hill Ridge early on July 5th. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. Days pass and all the army encounters is an impenetrable cavalry screen. Late on July 3rd word is finally received that there are large bodies of rebel troops moving to envelop the armies right rear. The problem is that there is no assurance that this force will not be operating in conjunction with an attack elsewhere. 6th Corps is bent back on itself, abandoning Manchester. Late on July 4th Gregg's cavalry division falls back before Confederate horse south of Manchester. Washington has different information on the axis of the Confederate advance, and demands that army command not release the reserve corps, posted behind the left flank, until the location of the Confederate advance is confirmed. Despite this meddling army command orders the reserves to move early in the morning of July 5th.

THE SOUTH: The cavalry fight of the 29th reveals that the Union intends to fight along the line of Big Pipe Creek. The army is sent on an epic march in an effort to envelop the Union left. The cavalry division screens the Union army as this march is made. On July 4th Jones' brigade advances in the lead of the Confederate infantry, skirmishing with Union cavalry. The southern army moves west of the mountains and south. The army then turns east and advances on the Union defensive position, hoping to envelop its left flank. Dawn on July 5th finds 1st Corps, having moved via Mechanicstown, crossing the Monocacy at Miller's Bridge. 3rd Corps moves along the pike from Hagerstown. The corps got a late start on July 4th and, consequently lags in its advance, with the van only approaching the Monocacy as dawn breaks. 2nd Corps follows 3rd Corps' advance along the northern approach to the Union position, arriving on the map as day breaks on July 5th. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier. Five Corps are deployed forward, and two are held in reserve. Days pass and all the army encounters is an impenetrable cavalry screen.

The problem is that there is no assurance that this force will not be operating in conjunction with an attack elsewhere. The cavalry screen falls back before the Confederate advance, and 1st Corps shifts its reserve division to extend the defensive line south along Little Pipe Creek. The two reserve corps, stationed behind the center of the line, are held in place awaiting developments. Incredibly the reserves are not released until late in the morning of the 5th.

Late on July 4th Gregg's cavalry division falls back before Confederate horse south of Manchester. The army's command seems stunned by the development, and still suspects an advance from the north. The two reserve corps, stationed behind the center of the line, are held in place awaiting developments. Incredibly the reserves are not released until late in the morning of the 5th.

Evidently the Yankee army can't be lured into offense, so the southern army must make the move. The army moves south in a well controlled fashion. The move south has been along the pike to Westminster with the cavalry division screening the flanks of the advance. The plan is to attack with the all three corps along the Westminster Pike, driving through that town, and splitting the Union line in half. From there it is on to Washington. Second Corps deploys with all three divisions forward to start the attack. The two following corps will be available to assist the attack early in the morning.

138. Block the advance (var. 115)
THE NORTH: News of the rebel advance east of the mountains brings a fast response from the Army of the Potomac. One division of cavalry is shifted north late on June 23rd, and by the afternoon of June 25th is pushing towards the last known rebel position near Westminster. The horse will need to hold the rebel advance until the main body of the army can make its way north. The second division of Union cavalry must still screen the rest of the army's crossing of the Potomac, and move north. The traffic snarls are incredible and the division doesn't arrive on the field until the night of June 27th. The government is so concerned for the security of the capitol that it refuses to permit the release of any of the troops from the Department of Washington to the field army. The main body of the army moves out on June 24th. The roads are incredibly congested as tens of thousands of men move north, but the force makes good time. The scare to the government is so bad that the entire army is routed through Washington. It begins arriving on the field during the afternoon of June 26th. THE SOUTH: 2nd Corps moves out from Hagerstown on June 21st. It crosses the mountain on the pike unopposed, but observed. Moving behind Jenkins' and Imboden's cavalry brigades the corps advances through Emmitsburg and Taneytown, reaching Westminster in the afternoon of June 24th. The corps pushes south on the 25th before encountering anything more than token resistance. 1st and 3rd Corps move rapidly to Winchester, then turn north without pause. They cross the Potomac on June 23rd and move north to Hagerstown. On the 24th they move across the mountains on the pike. They make good time and by the afternoon of June 25th the head of a seemingly endless column of troops is moving through Taneytown. The Cavalry Division covers the shift of the army from northern Virginia, and then follows suit. The majority of the division moves via Winchester, crossing the Potomac immediately after 1st and 3rd Corps. This force then takes a more southerly route over the mountains via Mechanicstown, screening the advance of the infantry and arriving in the theater of operations in the afternoon of June 25th. Two brigades of the cavalry cover the entire movement before heading north, and, after following the same route as the rest of the division, arrive on June 28th.

It is to move south on the 5th and advance down the Pike on Westminster. If enough of the Union army reacts to the attack from the west, 3rd Corps should be able to fall on their flank with devastating effect. 3rd Corps gets off to a sluggish start, however, and doesn't begin arriving early afternoon on July 5th. THE NORTH: The Union army has dug in along the defensive line of Big Pipe Creek. In the time that has passed since arriving there the position has been improved and is three levels deep at places along the line - a formidable barrier.

The army is equally divided among the three chosen lines of advance. The movement from the Valley has not gone as smoothly as hoped for. Weather, poor staff work, and congestion along the route have all combined to seriously throw the schedule off. Most elements of the army will experience delay in their arrival. In many cases the delay will be of a serious nature. THE NORTH: Dawn on June 22nd finds the Union army moving for the Valley. Two corps have been detached and have crossed the Potomac and are advancing west. It's the cavalry, screening the advancing Union army, that has the first contact with rebel forces.

At the point in time when contact is made the infantry is still very close to the screening cavalry. The second cavalry division of the army, which was screening towards Harper's Ferry and operating in conjunction with the two corps shifted north of the Potomac arrives early on June 23rd. 6th and 11th Corps are called back from across the river, but face a river crossing and a tough march.

In the crisis the army command begs Washington to free troops from its defenses for the field army. After several rounds of serious cajoling Stahel's cavalry division is reluctantly released, arriving on June 25th.

THE SOUTH: The southern army moves east from the Valley intent on striking the Army of the Potomac east of the Bull Run mountains. Early on June 22nd cavalry screening this move makes contact with Union forces further west than anticipated. The rebel infantry - just a short march to the rear - advances behind the cavalry screen. The army is equally divided among the three chosen lines of advance. THE NORTH: Dawn on June 22nd finds the Union army moving for the Valley. Two corps have been detached and have crossed the Potomac and are advancing west. It's the cavalry, screening the advancing Union army, that has the first contact with rebel forces. Unfortunately this contact occurs long before the army reaches the Valley. The fight begins west of the Bull Run mountains. The infantry of the Army of the Potomac advances in three columns. The northernmost has three corps in it and is nearing Harper's Ferry by the time word of the Confederate attack reaches it. It has to make a long counter march to get to the area of crisis. The other two columns each are composed of one corps. At the point in time when contact is made the infantry is still very close to the screening cavalry. The second cavalry division of the army, which was screening towards Harper's Ferry and operating in conjunction with the two corps shifted north of the Potomac arrives early on June 23rd. 6th and 11th Corps are called back from across the river, but face a river crossing and a tough march. A series of frustrating delays plague the column, and the lead elements don't begin arriving in the area until late in the afternoon on June 24th. In the crisis the army command begs Washington to free troops from its defenses for the field army. The pleas find a surprisingly receptive audience, and Stahel's cavalry division is released, arriving on June 24th.

Unfortunately this contact occurs long before the army reaches the Valley. The fight begins west of the Bull Run mountains. The infantry of the Army of the Potomac advances in three columns. The northernmost has three corps in it and is nearing Harper's Ferry by the time word of the Confederate attack reaches it. It has to make a long counter march to get to the area of crisis. The other two columns each are composed of one corps. At the point in time when contact is made the infantry is still very close to the screening cavalry. The second cavalry division of the army, which was screening towards Harper's Ferry and operating in conjunction with the two corps shifted north of the Potomac arrives early on June 23rd. 6th and 11th Corps are called back from across the river, but face a river crossing and a tough march. The river crossing takes longer than anyone expected and these units don't begin arriving in the area until mid afternoon on June 24th. In the crisis the army command begs Washington to free troops from its defenses for the field army. After several rounds of serious cajoling Stahel's cavalry division is reluctantly released, arriving on June 25th.

Early on June 22nd cavalry screening this move makes contact with Union forces further west than anticipated. The rebel infantry - just a short march to the rear - advances behind the cavalry screen. The entire army advances along the turnpike from Snicker's Gap, then turns east, giving Leesburg a wide berth, and finally turning south. The plan calls for crossing Goose Creek far down stream from Aldie. THE NORTH: Dawn on June 22nd finds the Union army moving for the Valley. Two corps have been detached and have crossed the Potomac and are advancing west. It's the cavalry, screening the advancing Union army, that has the first contact with rebel forces. Unfortunately this contact occurs long before the army reaches the Valley. The fight begins west of the Bull Run mountains. The infantry of the Army of the Potomac advances in three columns. The southern column, moving towards Ashby's Gap has three corps in it, the others have one corps each. At the point in time when contact is made the infantry is still very close to the screening cavalry. The second cavalry division of the army, which was screening towards Harper's Ferry and operating in conjunction with the two corps shifted north of the Potomac arrives early on June 23rd. 6th and 11th Corps are called back from across the river, but face a river crossing and a tough march. The river crossing takes longer than anyone expected and these units don't begin arriving in the area until mid afternoon on June 24th. In the crisis the army command begs Washington to free troops from its defenses for the field army. Stahel's cavalry division, which was already being considered as a reinforcement to the field army is released, arriving on June 23rd.

264. On a collision course XLIX (var. 16)
THE SOUTH: The southern army moves east from the Valley intent on striking the Army of the Potomac east of the Bull Run mountains. Early on June 22nd cavalry screening this move makes contact with Union forces further west than anticipated. The rebel infantry - just a short march to the rear - advances behind the cavalry screen. The entire army advances along the turnpike from Ashby's Gap. The movement from the Valley has not gone as smoothly as hoped for, and elements of the army may experience delays in their arrival. THE NORTH: Dawn on June 22nd finds the Union army moving for the Valley. Two corps have been detached and have crossed the Potomac and are advancing west. It's the cavalry, screening the advancing Union army, that has the first contact with rebel forces. Unfortunately this contact occurs long before the army reaches the Valley. The fight begins west of the Bull Run mountains. The infantry of the Army of the Potomac advances in one seemingly endless column heading for Ashby's Gap and the Valley. At the point in time when contact is made the infantry is still very close to the screening cavalry. The second cavalry division of the army, which was screening towards Harper's Ferry and operating in conjunction with the two corps shifted north of the Potomac arrives early on June 23rd. 6th and 11th Corps are called back from across the river, but face a river crossing and a tough march. These units don't begin arriving in the area until mid day on June 24th. In the crisis the army command begs Washington to free troops from its defenses for the field army. Stahel's cavalry division, which was already being considered as a reinforcement to the field army is released, arriving on June 23rd.

THE SOUTH: The southern army moves east from the Valley intent on striking the Army of the Potomac east of the Bull Run mountains. Early on June 22nd cavalry screening this move makes contact with Union forces further west than anticipated. The rebel infantry - just a short march to the rear - advances behind the cavalry screen. The army is equally divided among the three chosen lines of advance. The movement from the Valley has not gone as smoothly as hoped for. Weather, poor staff work, and congestion along the route have all combined to seriously throw the schedule off. Most elements of the army will experience delay in their arrival. In many cases the delay will be of a serious nature. THE NORTH: The Cavalry Corps and a division of Fifth Corps foray towards Upperville on June 21st. The begin the return march that day. When the march resumes on the morning of June 22nd the column has company. Soon similar butternut clad company arrives in several different areas and a general fight is on. 3rd Corps, encamped near Gum Springs, and 1st Corps near Guilford Station are the first units to the rear to learn of the rebel presence. They react to the threat immediately upon learning of the rebel advance. Further to the south 2nd Corps, encamped near Gainesville and Thoroughfare Gap, doesn't learn of the brewing battle until frantic messages arrive from the Cavalry Corps commander. Once the corps receives this word it reacts immediately. The various components of the rest of the army, widely dispersed covering the many possible approaches to Washington, react as soon as word arrives. Unfortunately, the army command is tentative in its decision making, and this failing is compounded by partisan disruption of the telegraph lines and a consequent delay in forwarding orders. Stahel's cavalry division, on loan from the defenses of Washington and ordered to Warrenton via New Baltimore, remains at Warrenton for hours, not nearing the area of conflict until late afternoon. The remainder of 5th Corps, posted near Bristoe Station, eventually moves north and west, making its appearance as dusk approaches. 12th Corps, the northern linchpin of the Union line, moves south from Leesburg along the pike, nearing the conflict at nightfall. The army headquarters and Artillery Reserve, well to the rear at Fairfax Courthouse, begin arriving in the morning of June 23rd. 6th Corps is far to the south near Germantown. It doesn't arrive until the afternoon of June 23rd.

All three corps wait for orders from army command before taking any action. 5th Corps, encamped around Guilford Station is informed by courier of events to its west.

In an admirable exercise of initiative the corps commander responds immediately from its encampment near Gainesville and Thoroughfare Gap. The various components of the rest of the army, widely dispersed covering the many possible approaches to Washington, react as soon as word arrives. Unfortunately, word is slow in arriving. Stahel's cavalry division, on loan from the defenses of Washington and on its way to Warrenton via New Baltimore, actually reaches Warrenton prior to learning anything of events to the north and reverses field by early afternoon. The remainder of 5th Corps, posted near Bristoe Station, moves north and west, making its appearance in the middle of the afternoon. 12th Corps, the northern linchpin of the Union line, moves south from Leesburg along the pike, making good time and nearing the conflict late in the afternoon.

The remainder of 5th Corps, posted near Bristoe Station, eventually moves north and west, making its appearance as dusk approaches. 12th Corps, the northern linchpin of the Union line, moves south from Leesburg along the pike, nearing the conflict at nightfall. The army headquarters and Artillery Reserve, well to the rear at Fairfax Courthouse, begin arriving in the morning of June 23rd. 6th Corps is far to the south near Germantown. It doesn't arrive until the afternoon of June 23rd.

278. Caught in transition VII (var. 44)
THE SOUTH: The southern army moves east from the Valley intent on striking the Army of the Potomac east of the Bull Run mountains. Early on June 22nd cavalry screening this move makes contact with Union forces further west than anticipated. The rebel infantry - just a short march to the rear - advances behind the cavalry screen. The entire army advances along the turnpike from Ashby's Gap. The movement from the Valley has not gone as smoothly as hoped for, and elements of the army may experience delays in their arrival. THE NORTH: By dawn on June 22nd the army is well into its shift of base to Frederick. One division of cavalry has already shifted north of the Potomac River to begin screening movement there. The one division south of the river is spread across a very wide front. There has been little activity is a couple of days and the feeling is that the rebel army is far away. Feelings are supplanted by fact early on the 22nd as cavalry and then infantry begin to pressure the Union horse. 2nd Corps, 3rd Corps, and 6th Corps are the first to learn of the Confederate advance. All three commands hesitate before reacting. 5th Corps, encamped around Guilford Station is informed by courier of events to its west. Immediately the corps command starts getting conflicting orders from army command. Its reaction is slowed as a result of these crossed signals. 1st Corps moves south from Leesburg as soon as it learns of the Confederate attack, arriving via the Leesburg pike in the mid afternoon on June 22nd. 11th and 12th Corps, along with a division of cavalry must recross the Potomac. They encounter substantial delays in doing so, and don't begin arriving along the Leesburg pike until the afternoon of June 23rd. The Artillery Reserve and army headquarters move forward from Fairfax Station in the mid afternoon on the 22nd. Stahel's division, which had just returned to Washington from the south side of the Union position, is released to the Army of the Potomac after much hand wringing by the powers that be in Washington, and arrives on the scene at late on June 23rd.

279. Winchester Redux I (var. 15)
THE NORTH: The Union army begins its move on the Valley on June 20th. By late on the 22nd the army is nearing its goal. Resistance has steadily risen during the move west. The morning of June 23rd finds the Cavalry Corps, tasked with screening the army's advance, facing full scale opposition for the first time - a sure precursor to a ge3neral engagement. The five corps of infantry of the Army of the Potomac that are south of the river move into the Valley. They cross the Shenandoah in three balanced columns, and continue west. They begin arriving in a continuous stream of blue along three mutually supporting routes shortly after the cavalry begin feeling out the rebel position. The two corps which had moved north of the Potomac have been ordered to recross the river. They actually make too good time north of the river, and must reverse their march in order to move to the south side. Valuable time is lost and the force doesn't begin to arrive near Winchester until late in the morning on June 25th. THE SOUTH: The army begins moving north from the Valley on June 20th. By the morning of the 21st, as it prepares to push aside some minor resistance along the Potomac River, the army gets word from the Cavalry Division of a Union move towards the Valley. The news comes is largely discounted initially by the Confederate command. The cavalry delays the Union advance through June 22nd, continuously updating the command on the status of the Union advance. By the time the army command recognizes the news of a northern advance is correct it is late in the game. The army counter marches as fast as it can, but by the morning of June 23rd only one corps of the army is back in the Winchester area awaiting the northern advance. The other two corps are moving as fast as possible to the area. While the single corps on the field attempts to hold the Union advance, the rest of the infantry rush down the pike from Martinsburg, arriving beginning in the early morning.

THE SOUTH: The army begins moving north from the Valley on June 20th. By the morning of the 21st, as it prepares to push aside some minor resistance along the Potomac River, the army gets word from the Cavalry Division of a Union move towards the Valley.

The army counter marches as fast as it can, but by the morning of June 23rd the infantry has yet to arrive in the Winchester area. A long stream of butternut races south to counter the Union advance. The infantry of the army rushes south. Fearing the proximity of the Union army might interfere with the march the troops leave the Martinsburg pike and move well west before moving south, arriving around noon.
