The Time is: Early March 1862 in Northwest Arkansas along the border of Missouri.

The Place is: The small hamlet of Leetown about 1 mile west of Elkhorn Tavern

About 1/2 mile northwest of the encamped Federal forces along Little Sugar Creek.

The Forces involved: Are the mixed Arkansas, Indian, Louisiana and Texas forces Area commander: Brig. Gen. Benjamin McCulloch

The Union commander is Brig. Gen. Franz Sigel.

As the leader of the forces on the Left flank of the Union or the Right wing of the Confederates you can change history or make a better victory of it.

As a single part of the combat you can use the town of Leetown as the objective for the Confederates.
