Even more so than the struggles in the east between the two nation's capitals. It took two years for the Union to finally free the Mississippi from Confederate's domination and blockade. However, once free to Union traffic, it irrevocably split the Confederacy in two, a major blow to both military and commercial operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis scenario book contains rules to play fifteen battles along the Mississippi River in the years long struggle to open the vital waterway for the Union.

Each scenario includes a detailed map for placing terrain and scenery on the game table. Unit starting locations are clearly marked, as well as where reinforcements may enter the board. Time is expressed in terms of 10 minute, 15 minute, and 20 minute increments; easily adaptable to most regimental level rules. The scenarios also provide a detailed Order of Battle showing each unit that fought in that battle, including figure ratios for 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100 historic men per figure\/stand. The Order of Battle also includes a rating for each unit, as well as the weapons they carried into battle.
