(Alternative 30 minute turns) Objectives...Sibley set out from El Paso to conquer an empire. Many locations were spoken of as being key objectives of his campaign.. Albuquerque and Santa Fe, ultimately places like Denver, Tucson, even San Francisco, were mentioned. No one ever predicted it would all boil down to an obscure fort secreted in the desert highlands of eastern New Mexico-...Fort Union became the indispensable ultimate objective for the Confederates, because it contained the weapons and provisions which they needed to prevail. For the Union, it became the place where arriving reinforcements got replenished and refreshed before taking on the enemy. Neither side could win without the possession of little Fort Union
