Chickamauga Day 2 AAR


The first day playtest of my Chickamauga scenario went well with the 
day 2 forces in similar positions to where they were historically. 

The action picks up around 7:00 a.m. Day 2 will last 6 turns


Union Right Flank Morning of Day 2


Union Center Morning of Day 2



Wilder's Brigade pours flanking fire into Preston's Division



Davis' Division gives way to Cleburne...The Union Army is split!

Johnson (USA) wavers


Late Morning 

The Union right counterattacks...Preston gives way

Wood and Sheridan push back in the center

The Union left hangs in the balance



XIV Corps in danger of being cut off


Sheridan advances

Cleburne stalls at the foot of Snodgrass hill


Johnson's (USA) Division is thrown back spent



The Rebel left bends but doesn't break


Brannan is isolated...things look grim

Gist stays put...Brannan pulls back



A bloody stalemate on the Union right

Cleburne is thrown back...

Granger tries to clear Lafayette Road but is stopped cold

Both sides are worn out and spent


Cleburne makes one more attempt at breaking through

Brannan and Palmer are spent

Evening, view from the Rebel right

Evening, view from the Rebel left



Sheridan pushes the Rebel center back to their original positions



Night Falls...


Casualties were 21,000 infantry and 48 artillery for the Union and 22,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, and 24 artillery for the CSA. Victory points came up to 4 per side ending the scenario in a bloody draw. 

I enjoyed the game and the rules lived up to their name. I think I might add some further victory conditions including victory points for spent units. I will also probably add a special rule suggested by one of the yahoo group members for constructing breastworks over night. 

Thanks for reading...see you next time!
