(HISTORICAL) **Consolidated rebel artillery, this scenario is a 2 day variant and uses historical release times for both rebel and Union units. Some units are slightly positioned differently. ** Hooker's plan to trap Lee was well started, but by late evening April 29th, JEB Stuart's cavalry screen had at last determined that several Corps of Hooker's army was attempting a flanking rear attack against Lee's army at Fredericksburg. Lee's most western located division was Anderson's division. Lee ordered Anderson to block the Union advance from Chancellorsville to Fredericksburg. Only three brigades was readily available to block Hooker's three advancing Corps. However, Lee soon ordered the greater portion of his army to march toward Chancellorsville. Speed will greatly determine victory in this fast approaching battle. NOTE: Regarding pontoon bridges, the bridge maximum is 500 (pdt file), the bridge must be 3/4 strength to support artillery(per user manual). So the bridge must be at 375. Following the previously mentioned procedure, and or review the User Manual if you wish to strengthen the pontoon bridges.
