With one exception, the terrain effects are the same as in the smaller scenario. Elevations. All elevations are two levels except for a third level toward the west table edge. February 15, 1862 Order of Battle The following number of additional sts are needed. The number in parenthasis is the gr total from the combined scenarios. T he Fort Donelson Breakout scenario can be played as a larger battle, for a much longer time frame. Feedback from one of our external playtest groups recommended we leave out the map extension, because the basic scenario played well enough on its own. Players who prefer a larger gaming area lengthier battle can add the 5ft. extension on to the west table edge. The exped scenario can be played by three Union three to five Confederate players, takes about eight hours to play, extends the playing area to 5ft. deep by 11ft. wide.

Reinforcements enter without a maneuver check in the formation indicated, move at the double quick rate. l) In the basic scenario, French s Battery is offtable artillery. The battery now starts on the table. Both French s Maney s batteries are unlimbered in fortified fixed positions. The guns have a 180degree arc of fire may only fire, rally replenish ammunition. The batteries cannot limber move, pivot, or h haul during the game. m) Enter on turn 2 between BC only on a die result of 610: 9th Tennessee Cavalry Battalion in field column (see special scenario rule). The 9th can only be in provisional comm cannot charge with cold steel. n) Enter on turn 3 between HI: 14th Mississippi 41st Tennessee in any formation.

Game Length The game is unusually long, 28 turns, starting with the Confederate player turn at 7:00 AM, ends after the Union player turn at 1:45 PM. Victory Conditions Heavy casualty thresholds location of the key position have changed. Heavy Casualties. The Union threshold for heavy casualties is determined separately for two divisionsize higher comms. The Confederate player achieves one victory condition for each Union higher comm that suffers 20% losses. McClern s Division, which includes McArthur s Brigade from C.F. Smith s Division, reaches its threshold after losing 49 troop or gun sts. Lew Wallace s Division reaches its threshold after losing 11 sts. The threshold increases to 32 after all of Thayer s Brigade enters on turn 22. The Confederate threshold for heavy casualties is determined separately for the two wing higher comms. The Union player achieves one victory condition for each Confederate higher comm that suffers 25% losses. Buckner s Right Wing reaches its threshold after losing 28 sts. Pillow s Left Wing reaches its threshold after losing 43 troop gun sts. The threshold increases to 47 sts only if the two infantry regiments from Heiman s Brigade enter by the end of the game. Key Position. The Union defensive line along the Wynn Ferry Road between points YZ remains the key position, however, point Z has been moved to the end of the defensive line that extends further to the west on to the map extension. The key position is under Union control at the start of the scenario. The Union player achieves one victory condition if at least one friendly unit occupies the position between YZ at the end of the game. The Confederate player achieves one victory condition if no enemy unit occupies YZ at the end of the game. In addition to these victory condition, each turn after no Union units are located between YZ, all Union units suffer a 1 modifier in subsequent maneuver checks. After losing the key position, if at least one Union unit reoccupies part of the key position in a later turn, the modifier is reversed all Confederate units suffer the 1 modifier in subsequent checks. The modifier always applies to the last side to lose the key positions. Special Scenario Rules Unit Leader Activation. As in the smaller scenarios, there are several Union units leaders deployed on the table at the start of the scenario that cannot voluntarily move until they are activated on the turn specified. Leaders may move but must remain within their comm radius from at least one unactivated unit. A leader may attach to an unactivated unit. Unactivated units are subject to maneuver checks can be fired upon. An unactivated unit can retreat as a result of a 5

6 maneuver check. It must attempt to rally advance back into its starting position in a subsequent check. An unactivated unit may fire at targets within weapon range, it is activated on the turn after an enemy unit moves within 12 line of sight. Additional Cavalry. Both sides have an additional cavalry unit that could have participated in the battle, but remained unengaged. The Union 4th Illinois Cavalry was located a few miles south on the Forge Road. Sometime in the morning, it made a brief appearance on the battlefield, but retreated after encountering Confederate troops on the road. On turn 6 the controlling player rolls one die. On a 610 die result the unit may enter that turn east of A in any formation. On a 15 the unit remains off the table for the entire game. General Pillow placed Lieutenant Colonel Forrest in comm of all Confederate cavalry, but Lieutenant Colonel Gant in comm of the 9th Tennessee Cavalry Battalion, refused to serve under Forrest stayed out of the battle. On turn 2 the controlling player rolls one die. On a 610 result the unit may enter that turn between BC in field column, may only be under provisional comm. On a 15 result the unit remains off the table for the entire game. Operational Movement. Cruft s Brigade enters on turn 6 at point K may perform operational movement. Operational movement doubles the move distances. Only Cruft s brigade may perform operational movement, it cannot resume operational movement once it fails to meet the conditions below. The short movement rates allowed in a 10 to 15minute game turn, make for a more playable game. Unfortunately, the distance is far less than what soldiers could actually march in real time. The shorter movement is not an issue when units start the game on the table in close proximity to the enemy. However, when it takes several turns to move a unit over a greater distance on the table, another type of movement called operational movement is needed to keep closer to the time line of a historical battle. Operational movement doubles the rates listed on the Movement Rates Chart. Units must meet several conditions to perform operational movement. All units must move in a brigadesize column formation. Infantry cavalry units must either all be in march column or in field column, arranged in succession one behind the other. The brigade leader any higher comm leaders must be attached to the front of the column. Batteries must move together as an artillery brigade or battalion, or as part of an infantry or cavalry brigade, with all guns limbered in single file. Units must start the game or enter the table in a brigade column to be eligible for operational movement. Individual regiments batteries cannot perform operational movement. One maneuver check is resolved for all leaders units in the brigade column. The units leaders can either all remain in the column perform operational movement at double the basic movement rate, or each may perform a separate maneuver move at the basic movement rate. To perform operational movement, the brigade column must remain out of the line of sight of enemy artillery, cannot move closer than 16 to an enemy unit. Units in the column cannot change formation, fire or charge. Units in march column may only move on a road. A unit can no longer perform operational movement for the remainder of the game once it fails to meet the above conditions. Ammunition Supply. Units on either side that suffer a low on ammunition effect may replenish ammunition by moving within 12 of their ammunition wagon marker performing a replenish ammunition maneuver. Each side places one ammunition supply marker on the table on turn 22 for the Union turn 16 for the Confederates.. The marker may be placed anywhere behind a friendly unit over 12 from enemy units. The ammunition supply marker cannot move is eliminated if an enemy unit passes through it. The Confederate batteries located in fortified fixed position may replenish ammunition at their location. Basic Scenario Errata If you are playing the basic sceanrio, it lists Crufts Union Brigade entering at points F G, but G is a wrong location. The leader all units enter at F. The text should read as follows: 5) Cruft s Brigade continues to enter on turn 10 at F: 17th Kentucky, followed by the 31st Indiana, both in field column. EPANDED SCENARIO BATTLE OF MCDOWELL May 8, 1862 The Scenario Historically, the Union 3rd West Virginia Confederate 31st Virginia, both guarding the turnpike in the valley north of Sittlington Hill, were only lightly engaged until both units were ordered up onto the hilltop. We determined after playtesting, that the area encompassing the valley adjacent Hull Hill were superfluous to recreating the historical scenario. Players who prefer a larger gaming area can add the 2ft. map extension to the north table edge. The extension increases the gaming area to 8ft. wide by 5ft. deep in 15mm.

The north end of Sittlington Hill overlooks a valley through which the turnpike passes. A twolevel elevation called Hull s Hill, spans the table edge north of the road. Some areas in the valley are open terrain. Road. The StauntonParkersburg Turnpike is in good condition. Units in march column, limbered guns, leaders on the road may move at the road movement rate. Order of Battle 3 WV Thompson Brave Colonel One Union regiment gun section, one Confederate regiment are added to the order of battle when using the map extension.

It is now only now only 8 off the table edge of the map extension. The gun is still activated on turn 4. 10) In the basic scenario, Brave colonel Thompson with the 3rd West Virginia enter at D on turn 7. The unit now starts on the map extension deployed in line astride the turnpike facing east. Activate the leader unit on turn 4 (see special scenario rule). 11) Enter on the map extension at H on turn 10: 5th West Virginia in any formation, 1 limbered light howitzer section from Johnson s Battery. The units may only be under provisional comm, enter without a maneuver check, move at the double quick rate. 8 Confederate Forces. Total Confederate sts now represent a force of 4,920 men no guns. f) In the basic scenario, the 31st Virginia enters at B on turn 6.

Union brave colonel Thompson with the 3rd West Virginia, the Confederate 21st Virginia are deployed on the table at the start of the scenario, but cannot move until they are activated. Unactivated units are subject to maneuver checks. An unactivated unit can retreat as a result of a maneuver check. It must attempt to rally advance back into its starting position in a subsequent check. An unactivated unit may fire at targets within weapon range can be fired upon. Once activated the unit may move fight without restriction.

9 Archer 1TN 14 TN EPANDED SCENARIO BATTLE OF MECHANICSVILLE or Beaver Dam Creek June 26, 1862 The Mechanicsville scenario can be played as a larger battle. We decided to leave out the additional troops map extension to keep the battlefield opposing forces down to a more manageable size. Players who prefer a larger gaming area can add the 4ft. map extension. The exped scenario can be played by three Union five Confederate players, takes about six hours to play, extends the playing area to 5ft. deep by 9ft. wide.
