New 10/20/02
This is Thomas DeHoff's entry into Rich Hamilton's 2002 Scenario Design contest. I've looked it over a few times and this is really a great "What-If" idea on Tom's part.

Van Dorn's Grand Junction Gambit Note: There is no AI |
This is a hypothetical situation. It assumes that
instead of the attack against Iuka and the subsequent attack against
Corinth, Van Dorn and Price do nothing. Halleck sensing the inactivity
decides to strip most of Rosecrans' force from Grants command
and ship them off the Buell to defend against Braggs invasion
(exactly what Van Dorn was ordered to prevent happening) Van Dorn
sensing that he needs to do something decides to isolate Corinth and
Iuka but attacking the RR at Grand Junction and the towns of LaGrange
and Saulsberry. He hopes to force the Yanks out of the fortress that
Corinth into the open for a fair fight. What he doesnt know
is that Grant is at Lagrange seeing to some business and Rosecarns
is on the way back now that Bragg is headed back to Tennessee. Can
the Rebs sieze enough before the Yanks return? |
