(Historical) Following the Battle of Front Royal and the defeat of the Union forces located there, Confederate Major General "Stonewall" Jackson led his army in pursuit of a retreating Union army. To delay Jackson's relentless advance, Union General Nathaniel Banks put into position two of his infantry brigades, some cavalry and artillery, at Winchester. This force numbered a little under 6,000 men. In contrast, Jackson was able to bring on the full force of his 13,000 man, Department of the Valley army. Now is your chance to deal a deadly blow to the Union's Valley mission, or complete your conquest of the Shenandoah Valley. Prepare your men, the battle begins!
