September 12, 1863 60 turns ----------------------[ What If ]----------------------- 10:00am: [Confederates gain victory points for exiting units off the map at hex 0,28 - the southern-most hex of LaFayette Road] What might have happened had Bragg guessed wrong and allowed the Army of the Cumberland to cross the Tennessee River north of Chattanooga relatively unopposed? The relatively flat terrain that the Union forces would have encountered after the crossing would have allowed a much faster advance. In this scenario the Confederates are retreating from Chattanooga, crossing Missionary Ridge at McFarland Gap, and trying to stay ahead of the numerically superior Federals. Will Rosecrans move fast enough to stop the Rebels or will Longstreet arrive from Virginia in time to save the day?
