First Campaign 'style' game attempt.

The first attempt at a campaign style game was made on July 19, 2020.

Your humble author participated via remote.

Map for the game
The concept for set-up revolved around 'deployment points' which were earned and either defended or taken away via cavalry brigades scouting efforts.

Then the forces deployed based on their points value, with 0 needed to just march on at the main arrival point.

This cross-roads saw the Union really get hammered by the Confederate scouting, so much that it took all the points just to get a flank corps into the woods and a couple of cavalry brigades on the map.  While the Confederates had a full division of foot, with artillery entrenched on a nearby hill.
