(What If: 30 Turns, some fixed units) During the evening hours of November 28th, one of Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood's brigade commaders reported that Confederate cavalry had crossed the Duck River fairly close to his position on the extreme left flank of the Fourth Corps line. Wood reported to Stanley: " . . . the whole Rebel army may be over on our left flank without hindrance". The worst of Wood's fears comes true in this scenario. What if Schofield had decided to hold his ground and Hood had decided to strike a quick blow against Schofield's exposed left flank, north of Columbia, during the early morning hours of November 29th? Can Schofield deny his flank in time and secure the Franklin to Columbia Pike? This scenario also assumes that Hood crossed the Duck River around 6 a.m. (approximately an hour earlier than historical) and had some of his column take a different road to Bear Creek.
