Special Rules:
The union sets up first.
Only the brigades of Lew Wallace can violate Grant's direct order to stay in place unless directly attacked ( McClernand ). This means that until Grant arrives at A or the CSA is wildly successful, Smith's troops (save McArthur & ML Smith ) are frozen ( a late arriving player ?)
Any CSA units remaining in the trenches can use hidden markers (and dummies) to simulate a true defensive position at the start.
Victory Conditions
The CSA must establish the 2 Roads below Dover and withdraw as many troops by that road while performing a rear guard after taking it or destroy all three US divisions. If Pillow's command makes it out but Buckner and Head are reencircled ( and thus eventually surrendering) the game is a draw. If a significant amount of Buckner's & Pillow's command make it out it is a tactical victory. If Head's brigades make it out as well or the union army is routed it is a decisive CSA victory. Any other condition is a tactical USA victory.
