Fellow TSS ers and I played 2nd ed Brigade FnF game for the start of 2018. This would be Steve and I 2nd with the revision of the rules and the other their 1st. The changes are a welcome addition as to make the system a better ACW feel and align to many of the other very popular ACW systems.

This scenario takes place as a what if based on the northern actions, once Lee took the offensive in June 1862.
This was a meeting engagement. The confederates had to plan without any knowledge of the union where-abouts with any units on the field were not yet placed on the table in any fashion. This would consist of the confederates players making adjustment to the march plan forces and march to points to that set by the scenario, but once again with no knowledge of union position or force size.
The goals was for the confederates to locate and cut the Union LOC, push the union forces away from the LOC and destroy as much as the force as possible. The Union goal to frustrate this by controlling the LOC or moving the forces up the LOC without much loss.
