Inaugural FoF AAR - Union side

[cillmhor]

Early October 1861:

Peter moves the AoNV into the Cumberland Gap to threaten Maryland and southern Pennsylvania. A small battle ensues where my two brigades do remarkably well taking only 150+ casualties and inflicting 550 on the large CSA army of around 79,000 men. I have the Army of the Potomac sitting in eastern Maryland protecting Washinton and two Corps of 25,000 and 45,000 men in southern Pennslyvania, and I moved two divisions into Franklin to threaten the southern supply lines of the AoNV.

In the west I have moved the army south towards Memphis as Peter moves his main army east into Tennessee, let's see if he moves them back to counter the threat.

Ft Pickens at Pensacola finally fell, and Peter told me that the unrest in his port areas was not caused by my blockade as I thought, but by his impressment of goods in those states. Any impress of goods from a state carries a risk of causing unrest which stops production in those areas for a number of turns.

I'm beginning to get the right number of Corps and Division containers now and most are under command, and I continue to equip the Army of the Potomac and give them extra attributes. I hope to contain the AoNV in the Cumberland Gap, as I hope that any attack on my troops in defensive positions should favour me. What I do not want to do at the moment in the east is go on the offensive. I may try and push him a bit in the west.
