(Historical) It's the final battle of the 1862 Valley Campaign. Confederate General Jackson was determined to dislodge the Union invaders from the Shenandoah Valley for at least the foreseeable future. On the 9th of June, the day after the Battle of Cross Keys, Jackson's men were directed to build a bridge over the Shenandoah River and attack the Union forces across the bottomland. Winder's brigade would lead the attack. Facing this assault, were about 3,500 men from Shield's Division, commanded by Union Brigadier General Erastus Tyler. As either the Union or Confederate commander, you will have the task of defeating your enemy and influencing the outcome of the war. Good Luck!
