This scenario depicts the historical situation on June 1st, 1864. On this day the little hamlet of Cold Harbor became a focal point of the campaign. Sheridan has seized the vital crossroads and, with little more than a division, is tasked to hold the town until.infantry arrives. Marching hard to drive out the Yankee horsemen are the First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia and Hoke's Division, released from Beauregard's army after the Army of the James was bottled up at Bermuda Hundred. Wright's Sixth Corps is to join Sheridan, but Wright gets a late start. After days of rain, the sun is shining and the roads have dried out, suffocating Wright's column in choking dust. Thanks to an overwhelming Confederate victory at Drewry's Bluff, No reinforcements are available from Butler's army of the James. Lee hopes that RH Anderson, with Hoke and the First Corps, at full strength with Pickett's return, can defeat Phil Sheridan's band of cavalry.
