THE SOUTH: A cavalry brigade probing west over the mountains encounters Union horse east of Emmitsburg. The orders for the southern cavalry are clear - push aside any northern cavalry screen and develop information on the disposition of the Union army. The sound of battle to the south brings additional troopers to the aid of their brethren. A brigade moves south from the vicinity of Fairfield. THE NORTH: By June 27th part of the Cavalry Corps covers the passes over South Mountain. The remainder of the corps probes north on the east side of the mountains, seeking information on the location and plans of the rebel army. One of the brigade tasked with covering the northern flank of the army moves through Emmitsburg just before noon and rapidly becomes engaged with southern horse. As soon as the Union troopers clash with their southern counterparts word goes out for assistance. Another brigade responds from near Taneytown almost immediately The division commander, centrally located in support of his advance brigades, also responds.

The Union player must be careful not to lose too many points early. Better to abandon the objectives with an eye towards retaking them later.
