Refight one of the most significant battles of the American Civil War ‘the Battle of Chickamauga’.

## About This Game
The first major battle of the Civil War was fought in Georgia, from September
the 18th-20th 1863. The Battle of Chickamauga was the most significant Union
defeat in the western theatre and had the second highest number of casualties
of any civil war battle, after the Battle of Gettysburg. The army of the
Cumberland under Major General William Rosecrans engaged the Confederate Army
of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg.

In early September Rosecrans had forced Bragg’s army out of Chattanooga and
was following them south. Bragg in an attempt to reoccupy Chattanooga decided
to meet a part of Rosecrans army and defeat them, allowing him to move back
into the city. On the way north he ran into the Union army.

This game consists of a number of missions, each of which, tackles a key part
of the overall battle. The last mission is a refight of the whole battle in a
single game. As the total battle was fought over a vast area this final
mission is at a different scale than the more detailed individual actions.
