Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turn 58 Virginia, Murtagks made a very bold play. Lee crossed the Rappahannock and attacked the Army of the Potomac, successfully driving them from Falmouth. 226_RELEE.png As soon as this battle occurred it become very clear what Murtagks was doing: Seeing that the Confederacy was getting slowly che...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 54-57 Virginia, The Virginia front is the most difficult, but needs to be cracked eventually. Forney drove Kearny and Howard off the rail line out of Richmond. 211_Forney vs howard.png Howard fell back to he supply depot on the border with North Carolina. 219_Promote Howard.png Somewhere along...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 54-57 Deep South, The Georgia front began to move as Beauregard's supply depleted. Murtagks realised that he had to make a break for it with Beauregard and so the CSA army fought it's way out of Savannah. 212_Beauregard vs milroy.png 215_Beauregard again.png This allowed Savannah to be re-re-t...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

With the CSA Army of the Tennessee pulling back across the Mississippi union stacks and partisans advanced to secure the railroad in eastern Arkansas and deny ...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 54-57 Mississippi, The Union made good progress in the Mississippi and consolidated its gains. Sherman caught up to Price twice and inflicted significant casualties on his stack as it retreated. 210_sherman vs price.png 214_Price again.png As there must be fewer than 10 k men left, and one div...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 51-53 South Carolina and Texas, The other fronts were mostly quiet. I attempted to seize Austin unsuccessfully with some black troops and white unionists, but the garrison held on. 207_Austin.png Will resupply and try again. In South Carolina I noticed that Beauregard may be running out of sup...

Turns 51-53 Virginia, In Virginia clashes continued. Hardee drove Pope all the way back to Norfolk, but with 2 fresh divisions arriving from NY I doubt he can go further. 195_Hardee attacked pope.png Meanwhile, Howard counterattacked and pushed Holmes north. 196_Howard v Holmes.png I attempted to fo...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 51-53_Tennessee, In Tennessee the front was static in the west, with the Memphis garrison refusing to surrender. Murtagks moved Smith's Corps from west to east of the Mississippi to concentrate the army with ABSJ, so I suspect that he intends to redeploy south to attempt to retake Jackson. He ...

Turns 47-50 Virginia, The move to Burkeville caused Hardee to attack the Union force. 177_Hardee vs Howard.png This battle occured as hopped, with higher casualties inflicted on the CSA. I had hoped to follow up by taking Petersburg. 178_Virginia.png Unfortunately, I totally misjudged Murtagks' next...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 47-50 West, In the west the union made good advances without any significant engagement. In Texas Murtagks has pushed the population so much with drafting that I have enough loyalty to play the White Unionists decision that will spawn some militia there. This will help gather further victory p...

Re: No-Grant Union Two - Covid Boogaloo

Turns 43-46 Virginia and thoughts on Strategy, Very little happened in Virginia. As forces were moved away to reinforce SC and GA I couldn't drive towards Richmond as aggressively as I might have done. Nonetheless Howard cut the main rail link south from Richmond. 165_Virginia.png The CSA-controlled...

Baton Rouge fell and Price was cut off from the rest of the Confederacy. 136_Lousiana.png It would be ideal to destroy the entire defending force when the city falls, and so ...

Turns 39-42 Charleston, The Charleston front lit up with two CSA assaults on the Union army, and the results were mostly in the Union's favour. It is a peculiar situation with the Union outside the city unable to be dislodged, but nor taking the city. 138_Charleston.png 139_Defeat at Charleston.png ...
