The game begins at 2:40 PM and continues until 6:20 PM. If this seems too little time for a JRIII game, then just leave the end time open.
Table size is 4x6 feet for Johnny Reb II, 15mm scale. Adjust as needed for other ground scales or rules sets.
Deployment The 21st Wisc arrives at Point H at 3pm. The 1st MI Battery had retired for ammo, therefore throw a d10 for the game turn of its return at point I.
