VICTORY POINTS

If US has 11 or more VPs than the CS, the Yanks win. Otherwise, the Confederates win.

UNION

3: Each Terrain Objective ('V' on map, except for the western exit of the National road) controlled at the end.

10 Control western exit of of the National Road.

CONFEDERATE

The Confederates start the game in control of all VP Terrain Objectives.

BOTH SIDES

1 Each worn brigade
1 Each wrecked or captured battery
1 Each enemy corps or division leader or Exceptional brigade commander out action.
2 Each spent brigade
4 Each enemy brigade that either "Quits the Field" or is eliminated.

Up to 6 players should complete the Scenario within 5 hours, assuming they are familiar with the FIRE & FURY rules. I suggest the following command allocation:

USA

Player 1 = RENO, Cox and Willcox

• Player 2 = Sturgis and Rodman
  
• Player 3 = HOOKER and Hatch,
  
• Player 4 = Meade and Ricketts.

CSA

• 2 players (one must be Longstreet in overall command.)
  
• One player should take local command of Fox's Gap (at the Wise farm) and the other should take local command of Turner's Gap (at Mountain House).

A. M. CASUALTY TABLE

"WHAT IF?" Optional Rules

1. (Alternative) UNION ARTILLERY SUPPORT RESTRICTION: A USA battery may only support units of its Corps. Until they fire on a particular Union Corps, CSA units not to the Corps' front (within the firing arc) are not viable targets for the Corps artillery. For example, Lane's batteries fire on the Kanawha Division as it ascends toward Fox's Gap - Lane's guns become reasonable targets for the batteries of the IX Corps divisions. Until Lane's batteries fire on the Kanawha Division, they are NOT targets for the batteries of IX Corps. Use reason to interpret this rule. Its intent is to prohibit a grand battery of 10 Union batteries opening the path for units of another Corps. Each Corps had its own frontage. The Union artillery was particularly lethargic on September 14.

2 GIBBON'S 4/1/I IRON BRIGADE: Gibbon's brigade must directly march on the National Road to its deployment area along the stone wall just west of the orchard about half way to Turner's Gap.

Unless it is fired upon by other than counter-battery fire, it must remain there (in any formation) until it receives orders at 5:00 PM. South Mountain was where the brigade earned its 'Iron' nickname.

3. STEALTHY REBS: A CSA unit out of small arms range starts the game hidden unless it is in the clear within the LOS of a USA unit. The CSA unit may move and remain hidden. When spotted, the stand(s) of the CSA unit are immediately placed on the table:

• Once it comes within small arms range of a USA unit.
• Moves through clear terrain in the LOS of a Union unit.
• Once the CSA unit fires.

The CSA player(s) must write down the movement of hidden units. A referee or another friendly player should help keep the honor system working to the agreement of the USA player(s). While the US player(s) may know the initial deployment of the Reb units, they are hidden and may move stealthily until spotted per the normal rules. NOTE: once spotted a unit cannot again become hidden.

FIRST

The players should decide whether to implement any of the optional rules.

SECOND

The players should determine the A.M. casualties by rolling a decimal die for the units listed on the table below left.

THIRD

Adjust the unit strengths and deploy as indicated on the PM Deployment map (left). Center the formations on their indicated areas. US Note: deploy Scammon and Crook in line or supported line, but just out of musket range of the Rebs, and no closer than the deployment lines indicated. Any casualties incurred DO count toward victory points, but the units begin the scenario in Good Order.

FOURTH and FINALLY

Begin with the 2 P.M. Union turn. Good luck.
