(What If) This variant scenario of the historical Burgess Mill battle, will turn now put the burden of attack upon the Confederates. The additional divisions of Wilcox, and Heth, led by AP Hill in person, will now attempt the complete destruction of the Union's II Corps. However, the Confederate commander should not be too over confident, as the actual number of troops involved are nearly equal. And Hancock's II Corps is the best Grant has at Petersburg. And with this battle, the additional Confederates, that are scheduled to arrive, may not always arrive on time. Prior to the Confederate attack, the rebels were ordered to remove as much of the abatis as possible.
