CEDAR MOUNTAIN--a scenario for Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles
designed by Kevin Klemme, kklemme@indiana.edu
Cedar Mountain recreates a relatively small battle that preceded the battle
of Second Bull Run/Second Manassas. Union General Nathaniel Banks encountered
a strong probing force under Generals Stonewall Jackson and AP Hill. Banks,
heavily outnumbered, attacked in spite of the odds. The Union attack was
fierce, and the Confederate response was slow and clumsy. Throughout the day,
errors in both commands created a stalemate that lead to heavy casualties.
By nightfall, Confederate numbers began to tell, and Jackson's forces
eventually swept the Union soldiers from the field.
Along with the Official Records, I used these sources in creating this
scenario:
_Echoes of Glory: Illustrated Atlas of the Civil War_, Time-Life Books, 1991
Edward J. Stackpole, _From Cedar Mountain to Antietam_, Stackpole Books,
1993 (2nd ed.)
_Battles and Leaders of the Civil War_, vol II, Castle Books, 1982 (repr. ed.)
