Hood Strikes North: The Tennessee Campaign, Fall 1864

Players command Confederate or Union forces in the November–December 1864 Tennessee campaign, reenacting Hood’s offensive toward Nashville and the Union defense and counteroffensive under Maj. Gen. George Thomas. Play proceeds on a county-based map of mid-19th century Tennessee using regiment- and brigade-level counters, scenario-driven turn sequences, and the GCACW series ruleset. Multiple short scenarios cover key actions such as the race for Columbia, the fights at Spring Hill and Franklin, the Battle of Nashville, cavalry raids and pursuit, plus a full 32-turn campaign. Basic and advanced rule options handle routine movement, combat, entrenchment and command considerations specific to the period.
