Grant
v. Pemberton |
|
|
It is the end of April 1863 on the
Mississippi River. After disastrous Union campaigns at Chickasaw Bayou,
Steele Bayou and Greenville, General U.S. Grant now elects to bypass the
Confederate fortress city of Vicksburg. Instead, he will take his Army
of the Tennessee and march down the Louisiana side of the Mississippi
River.
Anxiously expecting a Union thrust somewhere across the river into
Mississippi, Lt. General John C. Pemberton and his Confederate army occupies
a strongly fortified position extending both north and south of Vicksburg.
With Grant’s crossing of the mighty river there will be no turning
back...for either side.

CAMPAIGN GAME |
| The campaign is played over a large area from Snyder’s Bluff south
to Port Gibson, and from Vicksburg east to the state capital of
Jackson. On the advance, the Union player can choose among several
strategic pathways with the ultimate goal of capturing Vicksburg.
The Confederate guardians of the “Hill City” can elect to act purely
on the defensive or counterattack instead. The choices are yours.
At each stage of the campaign, players choose operational
decisions that will result in a tactical battle to be played out on
an expansive map, providing room for maneuver. The campaign is
non-linear, with both offensive and defensive operational options
available to each side. |
