I recently noticed someone had searched for “Campaign Chancellorsville Scenario List” here at TOCWOC – A Civil War Blog and I thought it’d be a good idea to provide that information for those looking for it. After the typical historical and variant scenarios in Campaign Chancellorsville, 85 in all, there are also weather variants, scenarios which use spring graphics, and many “AI Challenge” scenarios specifically suited to playing versus the computer. This is going to be a LONG post so the majority of it will be below the fold, so to speak. Here’s the complete list of scenarios you can find in Campaign Chancellorsville:
000C_Getting Started: This scenario is designed to be played while reading the Getting Started help file. It will introduce the game engine features used in Campaign Chancellorsville. The situation is a “What if” attack upon a Union position near Chancellorsville. The Union postion, held by Couch’s 2nd Corps, is under attack by Confederate forces under the command Major General Richard Anderson. The objective is to drive off or capture the Union artillery directly in front of Anderson’s Division and astride the road leading to the rear of the Union army.
001F_Nov 1st_Cav: (WHAT IF) The Union army’s approach toward Fredericksburg was screened by 4,000 cavalrymen with horse artillery in support. General Lee has ordered JEB Stuart to watch for this screen and report the enemies movement. This information would become critical to the successful defense of this part of Virginia.
002F_Nov 19th_Meeting Engagement: (MEETING ENGAGEMENT) **All sectional artillery** By late November, it had become clear to both armies that the town of Fredericksburg would soon become the focal point for a Union drive into Virginia. Both Lee and Burnside were determined to hold the town. If caught by surprise, Lee’s army could be defeated in detail. But if Burnside acted too rashly, his army might also be defeated in detail. So skill of movement will need to be employed for either army to succeed. Though the Union will have superior numbers, they won’t be fully engaged until the late morning of the second day. Until that ime, both armies will be roughly equal. The first task for the Union army will be to build the pontoon bridges across the Rappahanock and establish a bridgehead. The minimum strengh for infantry to cross is 225. Please read rules regarding brigdes. Total forces: USA-111,380 CSA-81,343
003F_Nov 21th 6am: (WHAT IF) **Rebs with Consolidated Batteries** Burnside’s Right Grand Division arrived opposite the city of Fredericksburg, but was not allowed to take the city. Burnside insisted on waiting for the Pontoon bridges. Lee, was convinced that Burnside had already taken Fredericksburg and was moving toward Richmond. When he learned that Burnside was delayed, Lee immediately decided to move all forces to the defense of the city. This scenario will assume the pontoons have arrived and that Burnside will soon cross to engage Lee. The Union must cross the river, take the city and drive Lee off the heights before Hood’s and Anderson’s division arrive from Spotsylavania Court House. (Additional repairs to the pontoon bridges will be needed to allow leaders and artillery to cross- read user manual concerning bridges)
004F_Nov 21th 6am V.1: (WHAT IF) **All sectional artillery** Burnside’s Right Grand Division arrived opposite the city of Fredericksburg, but was not allowed to take the city.

018F_March 17th Kelly’s Ford: (HISTORICAL) During the early months of 1863, JEB Stuart’s cavalry troopers were attacking union positions across the Rappahannock. Hooker was tired of these attacks and ordered that that cease. That task was assigned to General William Averell. His 3,000 cavalrymen and 6 3inch ordinance guns were ready to cross and surprise Confederate General Fitzhugh Lee’s raiders. Averell chose March 17th as his day of battle. Not knowing the Confederates strength, he moved cautiously. Watching the battle, but not leading the men, was Jeb Stuart himself. This scenario will start with a Confederate Major Victory. The Union must attack hard, but an exit hex (0,5) will force the Confederates to stay and fight.
019F_March 17th Kelly’s Ford V.1: (WHAT IF) **This variant increases the Confederate strength and adds Confederate artillery.

Only three brigades was readily available to block Hooker’s three advancing Corps. However, Lee soon ordered the greater portion of his army to march toward Chancellorsville. Speed will greatly determine victory in this fast approaching battle.

But instead of Jackson leading the attack, JEB Stuart was forced to take command of 2nd Corps, as Jackson had been mortally wounded on the eve of his greatest victory against Howard’s dazed 11th Corps. Though still outnumbered nearly two to one, Lee was anxious to continue the attack, knowing that Hooker’s army would be badly demoralized. Nearly half of Hooker’s army is caught in a salient. It would be Stuart and Lee’s task to cut it off from Hooker’s path of retreat.

With the dawning of a new day, Hooker was determined to stay and defend his captured southern territory. Though still outnumbered nearly two to one, Lee was anxious to continue the attack, knowing that Hooker’s army would be badly demoralized. Nearly half of Hooker’s army is caught in a salient. It would be Stuart and Lee’s task to cut it off from Hooker’s path of retreat.
