An Extended CHICKAMAUGA Scenario: September 18th

Work on RIVER OF DEATH has enabled us to gather information which we now use in expanding the Chickamauga scenario in GLORY to the full, 3-day battle. Players may use this for either the 19th, 20th, or full battle games.
Also available as a Word 6.0/95 document.

The game starts with the 1400 turn of September 18th, continuing on as far as players wish. All Reinforcements prior to those listed in the rules are given below, as well as initial deployments.

Initial Union Deployment

AM Available for 1400 Turn: Mitchell Cav (2), Reynolds/XIV (2), van Cleve (1), Wood (1)

Initial Confederate Deployment

AM Available for 1400 Turn: Johnson (2), Lidell (2), Forrest (1), Stewart (1), Preston (1)

Union Reinforcements

Remainder as per Schedule in Rules Book

Confederate Reinforcements

Remainder as per Schedule in Rules Book

a = Robertson's brigade moves with Johnson AM until the 19/0630 turn.
b = See Special rule for Cheatham's entry, in Forced March section.

First Turn Initiative: The Confederates automatically have the Initiative for the 1400 turn.

SPECIAL RULES

Confederate Destination Designation

Designated Destinations are pre-determined for units arriving as per the above schedule. The DD rule from the game applies, except that if a bridge has been destroyed (see below), once the units have reached that DD, they may move elsewhere.

Activation Markers

Special rules, to simulate the confusion about the breaking situation, corps level lethargy, as well as lack of overall command orders, are used in terms of the number of AM to be drawn per turn.

For the first turn (18/1400), all AM listed above as available are placed in The Pool, and all are drawn.

For every turn after that, all of the available AM, for units on or entering the map, are placed in The Pool.

• The Confederate Player gets to use the first 7 AM he draws/selects
• The Union Player gets to use the first 6 AM he draws/selects.
• Each player may ignore - not use to activate under his limit - one (1) AM drawn during the turn.

Neither player may purposely leave out AM. Exception, for the 1400 turn no AM for Granger's Reserve are available.

The above rules apply through the Night Turn of September 18th. Starting with the 0630 turn of the 19th, we heartily recommend you start using 16.3.

Bridges

At the start of the 18th Alexander's Bridge is intact.

Any player may destroy a bridge. To do so, when activated, a full strength (non-Disordered) unit must start adjacent to the bridge hexside. Presence of enemy units across the bridge does not matter.

As the unit's action for the turn (it may not move or fire), the player rolls the die.

• If the DR is the same as or lower than the unit's Cohesion, the bridge is destroyed.
• If the DR is higher, nothing happens.

The CSA player (only) may attempt to repair a bridge. At the start of any turn beginning with the 0900 turn of the 19th, after drawing an AM, he may ignore that AM and, instead, choose to try to repair any bridge which is not within 2 hexes of a Union combat unit. To do so, he rolls a die (no unit is needed):

• If the DR is 0-5, the bridge is repaired;
• If the DR is 6-9 the repair fails.

Play Note: This represents the work of Bragg's pioneer companies.

Forced Night March

For the Night Turn of the 18th, only, either (both) player(s) may choose to have entering Reinforcements use Forced Night March. Units already on the map may not use this.

All reinforcements that will Forced March are designated at the start of the turn. These units will not be activated by their own AM (and thus their AM will not be placed in The Pool), but will be activated when that player's Forced March AM is drawn.

• The Confederate FM AM is the "Longstreet" AM
• The Union FM AM (very radio-like) is the "Thomas" AM

Units that FM must stay on Roads and/or Trails. They may cross bridges/fords, but pay the normal price for doing so. As an exception to normal Night rules, they must use Extended Movement.

• No FM unit may move within 2 hexes of an enemy unit (meaning, 3 hexes away is fine).
• It costs 1/6 MP to enter a Road hex
• It costs 1/3 MP to enter a Trail hex.

All units that use FM must roll for Disorder at the end of movement, regardless how far they moved. Exception: artillery does not get disordered by FM.

The FM AM is a freebie. It does not count against the AM limits, above. Moreover, if a player's FM AM has not been drawn, it is put into effect at the end of the turn.

The Cheatham Exception: Cheatham's Division may not use Forced March in its turn of entry; it may use Extended Movement (if eligible). The CSA Player may choose, if he wishes, to have it enter when he draws the FM AM (which will negate any possible traffic jams).

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR ALL CHICKAMAUGA SCENARIOS

Fords

There are two types of Fords. The main fords are all fords, other than the ones listed below. These user the rules for fords and the Terrain costs as on the map.

However, many of the fords were not that helpful. The fords at the following hexes

• cost +2 to cross
• a unit crossing must roll for Disorder. If DR higher than Cohesion rating, it is Disordered.

Bad Fords: 4110, 3615, 3522, 3130, 3036, 2436.

Rout

We've decided to change the Rout Rule somewhat, as below.

14.2.2. Infantry is retreated three (3) hexes, cavalry (4). That's hexes, not MP.

14.2.3. Routed units, when activated, may (not must) move one hex (regardless of cost. Such movement must be away from the nearest enemy (or leave it equidistant).

14.2.5. There is no Rout Movement Phase.

Scott's Cavalry

For the 19th and 20th scenarios, Scott's cavalry starts in 4103.

Granger's Reserve

The In Reserve rule for the 19th scenario is not used for Granger when starting on the 18th.
