Are you ready to stop Sherman's drive to capture Atlanta? Step into the boots of Joseph E. Johnston, and then John Bell Hood, to see if you're up to the task in some of the war's greatest battles. Atlanta is Ours is a 140-page supplement, featuring the 18 largest engagements fought in the western theater. Available now from Iron Ivan Games!

To help get you in the fighting spirit, check our latest battle report, the Battle of Jonesboro in August 1864. Can William Hardee carry out Hood's orders to secure the Macon & Western Railroad?

Question: Aside from the defensive benefits that a brigade gains by occupying a fort, do they get any benefit from the works when firing at the enemy, i.e., do the normal arc of fire of rules apply or can they fire from the various sides of the fort? I would assume that a brigade would man the various works within the fort to repel attacks. Ft Donelson and fort at Franklin come to mind.

Self-contained forts--like Fort Granger at Franklin--do allow a brigade to fire and defend itself 360 degrees. But prepared linear earthworks--like the line south of Franklin--are only linear. I'll check out the Appendix count! Thanks.

I think the breakdown of forces required for the PLEASANT HILL scenario is incorrect in Appendix I.

Mitch, you are correct. It looks like the Gettysburg T/O got substituted or not replaced. I had the same reaction! Wanted a nice easy learner scenario and then looked at the Ord Bat!
