A small American Civil War Battle


Setting up for a small fictitious battle. A sleepy town somewhere along the Pennsylvania and Maryland Railway (P&M).



The town of Barnett's Meadow



Deep in the Union heartland.



The railway line carries vital supplies to the Union Army of the Potomac, currently far to the south.



After a long, sweeping ride, a Confederate cavalry brigade with attached horse artillery arrives in the town. Its mission to close the line and prevent further supplies reaching the Union troops.



A Division of Longstreet's Corps has been diverted from Lee's Army to take over the defence of the area and it is hoped to draw in Union troops currently attempting to track Bobby Lee's main force.

I shall use Black Powder for this encounter with the Glory Hallelujah supplement.

  2. Thanks Nik, just a bit of a back story to give a reason for the battle. Only going to be a skirmish game using Black Powder.
