This scenario can be played out historically--and if so there will be practically no fighting. If opponents choose to fight, they will experience a most unpredictable scenario: .If Grant had gone with his original plan for an advance down Telegraph Road to Mud Tavern. Hancock's Corps had pulled out on the night of 20-21 May, headed for Bowling Green. (His route shows as a series of minor objectives headed southeast through Guinea Station.) Once in Bowling Green, Hancock is closer to Richmond than Lee, but he is alone, 20 miles from reinforcements. Grant must decide whether to attack south along Telegraph Road (his original intention) or follow Hancock on the road to Richmond. Depending on his interpretation of Grant's intent, Lee must either hold on around Stanard's Mill, depending upon reinforcements (Pickett's Division) to check Hancock, or he must evacuate the Spotsylvania area and swing his whole army south to meet Grant.
