Barksdale: Yankees

The goal is lay the smackdown on Dixie-Land by '62.
I'll be using the following settings:


To speed things along I'll only be showing key movements and battle outcomes ,with commentary, ofcourse. That is no economic or recruitment screenshots

On to Richmond!

Not much to do this first month. Lincoln has opted for total blockade of the dissident states. Huzzah!

The Rebel scum storm Ft. Sumter!


Rebel volunteers seize the Federal Arsenal at Harpers Ferry!


Norfolk is also lost to the dissidents. leure:

Secesh sympathizers in Baltimore start to riot and attempt to isolate Washington from the true loyal States. Their efforts will be frustrated.


Lincoln calls for Volunteers to lay the smack down on the rebels!

Hooker is ordered to take the Elite Washington Bde and retake Harper's Ferry.

For some reason the rebels sent an unguarded supply wagon. It was quickly seized.

Marylanders continue to refuse to see the light. Sterner measures are being implemented to ensure their unwavering loyalty.


The loyalty of Missouri has been assured there is little chance of secession taking hold. It's capital, Jefferson City is still under rebel country, however.
It will be seized in the coming months.


The situation in Virginia. Recruits are coming into Washington with every passing day! On to Richmond! Huzzah!

The rebels are showing little restraint.

While Bory takes the army responsible for covering Richmond over to Harper's Ferry, General Milroy steals the initiative, and seizes Fredericksburg!
ouet: On to Richmond! Huzzah!! HuZZaH!! HUZZAH!!!

The situation in the Virginia theatre. General Milyor requests reinforcements as he makes his advance towards Richmond. With McDowell's wonderful strategy bonuses he should make it there by next month.


Forces in the Ohio river theatre. Note Athena's strategically placed lone supply wagon travelling up the Ohio.
I wonder what she's up to?


Missouri is almost secured for the Union.

Dixie-Land forces seize Paducah, KY!!!


Polk massacres a Federal cavalry regiment desperately trying to hold onto parts of MO.

Amazingly, Milroy is active an gives the orders for an all-out assualt on the Richmond defenses. Dixie-Landman JJ is nowhere to be found. Where could more important to defend than the rebel seat of gov't?


Western theatre. Things are looking calm except for a Dixie-Landman force in WV making for the OH river! Oh wait, who is it? It's JJ on a raid while Richmond is threatened from the north!


Situation in MO.

JJ smashes into the defenses of Columbus, OH!


Bory, travelling 6 regions in 4 days, arrives in time to defend his capital!
Milroy's corps is repulsed at Richmond! Retreat!! Retreat!!

Not "smacked down" yet my man!!! apy:

The long retreat back to the safety of Washington.


The situation in OH\KY jelly.


Bloody Dixie-land-man cavalry roam freely in MO.

Rebel reinforcements bybass the lightly defended city of LOUISVILLE KY!!! and seize the key city of Clarksburg on the Ohio.


This is the Missouri theatre!

Unforunately, yet again I've been transferred to another city (and hence another computer) and will not be able to totally finish this AAR. I will post the results below, however. I failed my personal challenge as USA leure:

Virginia theatre at the end of my challenge.


Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee!


In the Gulf!


Missouri theatre!


The final tally. Personally, I think Dixie-Land is toast by summertime. I guess I'll never know.

It's been an interesting AAR to follow (as was the one you made for the CSA)
