    Default [ACW IH] The Blue and The Grey: an American Civil War IH(Restarting in a few weeks)

    Map:

    The year is 1861. Following the battle of First Manassas/Bull Run, the Northern and Southern half of the United States are at war over issues such as State vs. National legislature, and Slavery. 11 Southern States are fighting what they believe to be the 2nd American Revolution: North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia. They have declared their independence from 23 Union states, and after the first major battle, have proved their mettle in combat. There are 800,000 volunteers in the South against over 2 Million in the North, but they have yet to be organized. That is where the players come in.

    Each Player will be a General leading an army from one of the two nations. The limit for army size for the South is 80,000 men and the North's limit is 150,000 men. This means that the Union can field a total of 13 armies, the Confederacy 10. However this certainly does not mean that players HAVE to choose big armies; For example, Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson fought a series of successful battles against the Union and he had only a Division(less than 10,000 men) at his command(see Shenandoah Valley Campaign).

    There will be a 'Turn' system; each player will say where he wants his/her army to go in that turn and what the army is to do. I will then use maps of major roads in the area and from that I can decide if they happen to clash with enemy forces.

    The battle system is the following; say the Confederates have 10,000 men and the Union has 14,000. The Union soldiers have an attack of 7 and the Confederates have a defense of 8. Because the Confederates are being attacked, their defense goes to 7(that's right, the lower the defence value the better), and the Union has more men, meaning a harder attack to co-ordinate, increasing their attack to 7.5. In the battle, the Union loses 2,000 men; 600 Killed, 1,400 Wounded(I use 1/3 as dead and 2/3 as wounded), adn the Confederates lose 1,333 men(444 Killed, 889 wounded). The Confederates held the ground and lost less men, so they win the battle. I determine this by dividing the number of troops by the enemy value being used; 10,000 Confederates divided by 7.5.

    Anyone is free to join and make their own armies, along with naming them whatever they wish.

    Turn 1:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    This turn saw the start of several campaigns that could shape the nation for years. Starting with the Army of Tennessee:
    This turn, A.O.T. was faced with several problems; Mainly the rebellion of 25,000 Militiamen. They wanted Tennessee to stay Union controlled, and were known as the Army of Unionist Tennessee, who had plans to march from their base in Clarksville, Tennessee, through Kentucky and to Union-controlled territory. However this dream would never come to pass. A.O.T. sent a force of 40,000 troops to crush the rebellion. The forces converged at Clarksville, Tennessee, on the banks of the Tennessee River. Attached is a battle report:

    8,087 Killed
    16,133 Wounded

    Confederate:
    2,056 Killed
    4,109 Wounded
    Total: 6,165 of 80,000


    As a result of this astounding victory, Southern Morale has skyrocketed. Another 240,000 Volunteers have joined the Confederate Recruiting Pool, free to be formed into a new army at any time. Also, Confederate Troop limit per army is raised from 80,000 to 85,000(Do NOT waste this chance guys). In the North, the 25,000 Tennessians have been treated as Martyrs and 'Remember Clarksville!' has become a popular phrase there.

    Now, for the Army of Georgia:

    The Army of Georgia has decided to move to a more active zone; The Appalachian Mountains. They have turned Guerilla and have encamped through the mountains, ready to harass any Union forces there. They can also swing down at any time and join the Army of Northern Virginia if a plan to invade the North arises.

    Army of Northern Virginia:

    Following their victory at Bull Run several months earlier, The A.N.V. has decided to entrench in the High Ground at Manassas in the hopes of being attacked. They could also threaten any Union Forces passing by.

    Switching to Union armies:

    Army of the Potomac:
    The Army of the Potomac has done largely the same thing as their Virginian Counterparts, and have entrenched around Washington, D.C., in the hopes of a Confederate Attack. This movement has yielded little, and the President has grown slightly miffed with his army commanders for their not attacking.

    Army of the Penobscot:
    This group of Mainers has set out from their camp near Portland, Maine, and has marched several hundred miles to Boston, Massachussetts, where they can regroup and resupply. They plan to march south and join up with the Army of the Potomac. Whet they do from there is up to them(well, really me).....

    Lane's Kansas Brigade:
    These men of the frontier have been dealing with some recruitment issues; about 12,000 men have appiled for soldiering duty in the Brigade, bringing it past Division strength; some 17,000 troops. However, they have decided to stay in the West, where their knowledge of the land will provide useful in future battles.

    Army of the Ohio:
    Like the Army of Tennessee, The Army of the Ohio has been dealing with some rebellion issues; Unlike the Army of Tennessee, however, they face desertion because of it. 35,000 Ohioans have banded together and have formed an army of Confederate-supportive Militia. This has triggered around 7,000 soldiers in the Army of the Ohio to question their morals, and they too have rebelled. The Commander of the Army of the Ohio, General Rosecrans, has issued that the men be treated as the ancient Roman Deserters; all 7,000 are to be lined up and every 10th Man to be killed, known as Decimation. The remaining 6,300 are to be sent to jails in New England, where they are to wait out the war. If they try to escape, Cannons will fire on their jail and Infantry will cut down the stragglers.

    the remaining 93,000 have been dispatched to deal with the Ohioan rebellion. The Confederate Militias are stationed in Cincinnatti, Ohio, 35,000 strong. This is a report of the Battle of Cincinatti:

    Turn 2(July-December 1861):
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Turn 2 saw little action as armies began moving to strategic areas, preparing for defenses and attacks.

    Army of Tennessee:
    The Army of Tennessee stayed in their entrenchments, awaiting a union offensive that would never come. They did, however, welcome the arrival of 5,000 new troops from Kentucky, forming the Kentucky Brigade in the Army of the Tennessee. The reason for these new recruits is due to the close proximity of Union forces to Kentucky, which has strong Southern Leanings.

    Army of the Shenandoah:
    This turn the Army of the Shenandoah entrenched in the higher ground of the Shenandoah Valley, but where, no-one knows. They could be massed in one spot or spread out across the entire valley. All that is known is that it's not very safe, for Union or Confederate forces.

    Army of Northern Virginia:
    With the ever-growing Union presence in D.C., the Army of Northern Virginia has stayed in their fortifications. However, Virginia views them as valiant defenders of their homes and as a result 10,000 fresh recruits have joined the army. However, the Army of Northern Virginia is still heavily outnumbered; as many as 200,000 Union troops could lie across the Potomac river.

    Army of Georgia:
    This turn saw the Army of Georgia leave the Appalachian Mountains and move to Bull Run to entrench alongside the Army of Northern Virginia, with total forces at Bull Run now at 170,000. It is a very strong line, now only 25,000 or so away from the strength of Union forces, but it still has one weakness; It can be flanked. However, the Army of Georgia has prepared for this and it's 4,000 Cavalrymen have dispersed and are now used as scouts. Every hour, dozens of accurate reports come in about any possible Union Troop Movements. If attacked, the two armies at Bull Run will NOT be taken by surprise.

    Army of the Potomac:
    This turn, the Army of the Potomac organised to cross the river, but they await reinforcements; More specifically, the Army of the Penobscot. They will arrive next turn and then will be ready to march with the Army of the Potomac, a force of 195,000 men altogether.

    Lane's Kansas Brigade:
    General Lane has realised the situation the Confederates are in; He saw the depleted forces of the Army of Tennessee, and he chose to act on it. His 17,000 men have begun a march towards them and are currently in Memphis, Tennessee, in the buildings of every block, ready to harass any troop movements(or attacks) that come their way. This means that if the Army of Tennessee were to attack, they would likely lose with heavy losses. But with 17,000 men threateniong their flank, what else would they do?

    Army of the Rio Grande:
    Luckily for the Kansas Brigade, the Army of the Rio Grande did not see their move away from Kansas. However, they HAVE increased their numbers by 20,000 men and are now an even more dangerous threat. There are very few forces in the west, and with a full-sized Confederate army there, what is to be done for the Unionist Pacific states?

    Army of the Ohio:
    Like their southern counterparts in Tennessee, the Army of the Ohio has entrenched to lick its' wounds. However, they have recruited men to the cause as well; 4,000 Ohioans and 3,000 Kentuckians have joined their ranks as the Cleveland Brigade and the Billy-Bob Brigade(respectively). This brings their forces up to a staggering 82,000 men. If they concentrated with the Kansas Brigade, they could have the momentum to crush the Army of the Tennessee in one fell swoop.


    Turn 3(January-June 1862):
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Again, this turn saw very little action, but things are getting particularly interesting in the west... Let's start there, shall we?

    Army of Tennessee:
    The Army of Tennessee has stayed in Clarksville that, with proper medicine supplies, 2,000 of the wounded from the battle have been recovered to the point that they can effectively fight again. This brings their total strength to 81,000. They have also stayed in their fortifications, to let the seemingly imminent Union Attack wash over them like a wave. They have also taken notice of the proximity of the Kansas brigade and have literally fortified themselves in a circle in the Clarksville Peninsula. It is a very strong position, and the Army of Tennessee is feeling confident.

    Army of the Ohio:
    Currently the Army of the Ohio is preparing to move through Kentucky. However, it faces a difficult decision - The major roads lead right to the Confederate Lines, and the minor roads, although they lead to the Kansas Brigade, will take much longer to traverse. Plus, the Kansas Brigade may not even be there. Because of the Union Army's negotiating to go through Kentucky, they have prepared to move around back of the Army of Tennessee. This is a delicate situation that could mean the destruction of Union forces in the Mid-west.

    Lane's Kansas Brigade:
    Because of the Army of the Ohio's crossing through Kentucky, the Kansas Brigade has begun marching North-East to cut off the Confederate Supply lines. They have succeeded in capturing about 6 Cannon and several thousand fresh Rifles from southern factories, and they not threaten the Confederate Rear. However, the confederates literally....have no rear. Because their fortifications are in a circle, they can face attacks from all sides.

    Army of the Rio Grande:
    The army of the Rio Grande has moved North, looking to destroy the(apparently not) present Kansas Brigade....they were shocked to see that the Kansas brigade was not there(even though they moved East 2 turns ago). They have looked to capitalise on this and have moved west, towards California. Currently they reside in the Arizona Territory. In reponse to this, 117,000 men from California have taken up arms and have become the Army of the West, led by Lewis B. Crosby. It is very likely that battle will commence some time soon.

    Moving East...

    Army of the Potomac:
    This turn the Army of the Potomac has given in and crossed the river...but not before recruiting 50,000 more men. These new recruits are staying in D.C. to act as a reserve, while the main 100,000 cross the river. They currently reside in Alaxandria, Virginia, about half way between the D.C. and Bull Run, with the Confederates having lsot the chance to deprive the enemy of an orderly crossing of the river.

    Army of the Penobscot:
    The Men from Maine have moved across the Potomac as well, and they too reside in Alexandria. they will pretty much follow the Army of the Potomac, but currently they are trying to get the Maine Regiments in the Army of the Potomac to join their army instead.

    Armies of the Shenandoah, Georgia and Northern Virginia:
    First off, if you are wondering why I clumped these armies together, it's because all of them chose the same thing. This turn, all 3 armies, a combined total of 250,000 men, have decided to stay where they are. They had an opportunity to beat back the Union armies as they crossed the river and they didn't take it. Such decisions have often times been regretted by many commanders. But they still have reason to brag; They hold the highest ground in the area, after all.

    It is unknown what will happen now, but it is likely that the next major battle in the West will occur in California, where 117,000 Union Militias are awaiting 85,000 Texans.

    Moving East:
    Army of the Shenandoah:
    The men of the Valley have decided to stay there. It seems that 2 Union armies would be overkill for 3 Confederate ones.

    Army of Georgia:
    The Army of Georgia has moved 10 miles to the North from Bull Run, reeady to pounce on the Union Armies if they move to attack Bull Run.

    Army of Northern Virginia:
    With the Georgians moving North, the Virginians stay in the entrenchments, awaiting a Union attack.

    Army of the Penobscot:
    The Mainers have left Alexandria and are taking their own path now. they are moving North to prevent the Georgians from attacking the Army of Potomac's flank.

    Army of the Potomac:
    The Army of the Potomac is - or, at least, appears to be - moving on Richmond. They have taken roads going south of Bull Run and are swinging around behind the Army of Northern Virginia.

    Interesting concept Fred, but I'm too busy with IH: Alternate History, along with IH 1900 to start a new one. Plus, I have exams.

    @Celsius: Confederates can only have 80,000 men per army, but I will add it

    Um, no, in Arizona there was a battle where the Union won and drove the CSA out...
    (well, they call it a battle, but it was more of a minor skirmish )

    Don't dispute my knowledge of my state's history!
