Sheridan's Raid on Richmond, May 11-12, 1864. Early on May 9th, Sheridan swung his cavalry corps east from Spotsylvania Courthouse and headed south towards Richmond with the intention of raiding the Confederate Capital. On May 11th, Stuart and Sheridan collided seven miles north of the Confederate Capitol at Yellow Tavern. Historically, the Rebel cavalry suffered a major defeat at Yellow Tavern, and MG Stuart was mortally wounded. This scenario finds the opposing cavalry forces on a collision path just before the Battle of Yellow Tavern. The fate of Richmond lays in the balance. Can Sheridan defeat Stuart's cavalry and capture Richmond? Or will Stuart add to his already legendary reputation and turn defeat into victory by thwarting Sheridan's intentions?
