008 Siege of Petersburg, June 15th-17th, 1864 - WDS Campaign Petersburg

(What if) Two days prior to the beginning of this sceanrio, General Lee was informed by his spies, that General Grant had begun moving the vast majority of his two armies south of the Appomattox River. Grant's plan was to capture Petersburg by way of an overwhelming attack in the hopes of catching Lee by surprise. However, Grant should have known better than to think he could so easily out wit the grey fox of the Confederacy. In response, Lee began moving nearly his entire army to Petersburg. Leaving only militia to defend Richmond. Lee ordered that as many fires be lit at night as if the army was still in place. The citizens of Richmond were to martch around in uniforms to further the deception. Both sides must now be ready to face each other in a massive show of force. The fate of the nation, both nations, will be decided at this battle, The Siege of Petersburg. NOTE: Best played as the CSA in solitaire mode against the Union A/I
