That said over recent weeks I have slowly been reformatting American Civil War scenarios. However, real life has a habit of getting in the way. I am well behind on my website updates, so far behind it is actually embarrassing. It was wonderful being able to refight this famous battle which took place just down the road a little over 155 years ago. As a result both Union and Confederates were unwilling to launch further attacks.Ī great game thanks to Joe and all the local players that have welcomed me to Tennessee. Several Union and Confederate Divisions were exhausted. With Sheridan’s Division having suffered heavily from Rebel artillery Negley undertook a limited counterattack but with little result.Īt the end of the 4pm turn, and after some three and a half hours of play, the battle began to stagnate. By around 2pm McGowan’s Division was almost exhausted and Cleburne was unwilling to advance. The original attack against the Union right was primarily launched by McGowan’s and Cleburne’s Divisions. Confederate cavalry threaten the flank before reposting to Confederate cavalry to their flank.īelow, the high tide of the Rebel attack against the Union right.

On the Union left a series of Union attacks are underway which eventually will break Breckinridge’s Confederates, though at a terrible price.Ībove, Davis’ and Johnson’s Divisions are in chaos and several stands are now routing.īelow, Union reinforcements have arrived allowing Negley to move to the extreme right and form a line at 90 degrees to Sheridan’s Division. The Union right is now under considerable pressure. As a result my view of the battle was mostly based around the centre and Union right flank.Ībove, Sheridan’s Division in the centre while Negley’s Division extends the left.īelow, Sheridan’s Division extends further, as some of Davis’ artillery is absorbed into the line.īelow, another view, showing the general situation. Despite this several brigades fought with determination and some Rebel brigades were thrown back.įor my own part I was allocated command of Sheridan’s division in the centre and later Negley’s division after one the commander of this division had to leave. A number of Union Divisions were initially out of command in an effort to model the initial Confederate attack and rated morale 4. Four brigades that comprise Breckinridge’s Division hold the high ground and some works.īelow, the Union right flank which is held by Davis’ and Johnson’s Divisions. In both, elements of Wood’s Division is shown across Stones River. I admit I was wondering if there would be a preference for supporting the Union here in Tennessee, but it seemed not to be the case.Ībove and below a view of the Union left flank. The game itself involved some 12 players equally split between the Confederates and Union. The game was hosted in Nashville only a short drive from the actual battlefield.Īll figures are from Joe’s 25mm collection. The day after my arrival Joe Collins hosted a multiplayer Volley & Bayonet game, a refight of Stones River. I’m currently travelling in the United States visiting a series of battlefields in the Western Theatre.
