Scenario Two covers the Maryland campaign from 3 September to 5 October 1862. Lee's army is still fresh from victory at Second Manassas and Chantilly over Pope's Army of Virginia. McClellan has resumed command and is in the process of reorganizing the Army of the Potomac. The Army of Northern Virginia is concentrated at Centerville, with Stuart at Fairfax Courthouse. Again the South starts with no victory points and no LOC, they need ten points or more to win.

The South's initial position is very different in this scenario. To win the game it must invade the North quickly, before McClellan can get organized. The best way to do this is to cross the Potomac at the fords near Leesburg. The South will benefit by dividing its forces into two division stacks. Once in Maryland, the Union position and condition must be considered before making the next move. Harpers Ferry and the LOC still dominate Southern strategy, so operations such as discussed for Scenario One are still advisable. Frederick is a key point on the map. It is well defended by the Monocacy River, and any Union movement can be delayed here with little effort. The South should take full advantage of the first six turns because the LOC restrictions concerning replacement points do not apply until then

The Union's initial problem with disorganization should soon be resolved and McClellan will again be mobile. The cavalry are not disorganized and the Union should use his horse to harass enemy progress, while avoiding an engagement if possible. Once the Army of the Potomac is fully mobile, the Union army should push to the southwest, while the cavalry should head north to screen Pennsylvania.
