Battles of the American Civil War

Last Updated: 27th June 2013

The following unofficial errata is provided for the Volley & Bayonet scenario book Battles of

the American Civil War. Much of the original material was provided by Greg Novak while

other information has been added or modified to align it with Volley & Bayonet: Road to

Glory, the second edition of the rules.

Terrain:

Volley & Bayonet: Road to Glory introduces new terrain types and different terrain names.

As a general rule where Battles of the American Civil War defines open woods these can be

be emulated as “orchards” in Volley & Bayonet: Road to Glory. Likewise dense woods

should be classified as “forests”.

All towns should be considered “wooden”.

Artillery:

Morale ratings of artillery in Battles of the American Civil War should be amended so that

typically artillery should be rated as M5 rather than M6.

Artillery was often allocated directly to brigades rather than used as dedicated artillery

battalions. This was either due to terrain or simply because artillery was often allocated to

support specific brigades. When allocating dedicated guns to brigades, by removing

dedicated artillery stands, consideration should be given to maintaining divisional exhaustion

levels.

Confederate artillery battalions contained a mixture of smoothbore and rifled weapons. As an

optional rule Mixed Artillery Battalions can be used to model this. Mixed Artillery Battalions

have the following characteristics:

• Close range: The first die hits on 4, 5 or 6, the second, where available, on a 5 or 6.

• Long range up to 10": Normal number of hit dice.

• Long range up to 15": One hit dice and only if stationary.

• Mixed artillery counts as field artillery when conducting counter-battery fire.

Second Bull Run Scenario:

The following reinforcement schedule and victory conditions correct errors and missing

sections in Battles of the American Civil War scenario.

Reinforcement Schedule Union:

On board at start:

III Corps:

• 1st Division (King)

• 3rd Division (Reynolds)

Note: As described in the set-up, they were serving as the flank guard for a Union Army

moving west.

Entering at nightfall:

On east edge, Manassas - Gainesville Road. Allow two turns in march column at night - may

not reform from march column until daylight.

I Corps - Sigel:

• 1st Division (Schenck)

• 2nd Division (Steinwehr)

• 3rd Division (Schurz)

Arrives 7am:

At east edge Warrenton Pike - March Order stacked up one behind another!

• Pope (AC)

III Corps Army of the Potomac - Heintzelman

• 1st Division (Kearney)

• 2nd Division (Hooker)

IX Corps - Reno

• 1st Division (Stevens)

• 2nd Division (Reno)

Arrives at 7am:

At east edge, Manassas - Gainesville Road. March Order:

III Corps - McDowell

• Corps Troops

• 2nd Division (Ricketts)

Arrives 10am:

At east edge, Manassas - Gainesville Road. March Order:

V Corps - Porter

• 1st Division (Morell)

• 2nd Division (Sykes)

Reinforcement Schedule Confederate:

As listed in the book except on west edge Warrenton Turnpike.

Revised Victory Conditions:

The burden of the attack is on the Union Army. Pope must win a victory before McClellan

returns and takes command away from him.

Union Victory: At the end of the 29th the Union side must have exhausted all three of

Jackson's division, or a total of four of Lee's divisions (including any of Jackson's) to claim

victory. If play continues to the 30th, the Union side must have exhausted a total of six of

Lee's divisions (including any of Jackson's) to claim victory at the end of the day.

Confederate Victory: At the end of either the 29th or 30th the Confederate side must have

exhausted at least seven of Pope's divisions to claim victory.

If both sides have carried out their victory conditions, the side that has exhausted more

divisions above the base number wins. Thus if the Confederates have exhausted eight Union

divisions at the end of the 30th, and the Union have exhausted six Confederate divisions,

victory would go to the Confederacy as they are one up on divisions exhausted.

Gettysburg Scenario:

Roads:

Two roads are mentioned in the scenario but are not indicated on the map. The Fairfield road

runs west from Gettysburg off the middle edge of the map - it is the road south of

Chambersburg Pike. It is marked on the map as Hagerstown Road and they are one and the

same. The Middletown Road is the road to the north of Chambersburg Pike, and is marked on

the map as Mummasberg Road.

Union Cavalry:

Buford’s Cavalry was armed with breech-loaders at this battle, obtaining repeaters to the

following year. Indeed, almost all of the Union Cavalry is carrying breech loading weapons at

this time. Rating the dismounted skirmishers as sharpshooter provides an improved firepower

rating.

Woods:

The woods on Culps Hill are classed as forest, as are those on Big Round Top and the area

south and west of there. All other woods are classed as open woods or orchards. The 20th

Maine line is set up on the edge of the forest / open woods.

Artillery:

Consideration should be given to the use of dedicated guns in this scenario. Otherwise

significant artillery stands will be needed and by the third day a portion of the Union line

becomes a wall of artillery.

Reinforcement Schedule:

The following is a revised timeline for reinforcements for the first day of Gettysburg. The

evening of the 1st and following days remain unchanged.

Union Reinforcements:

On Board:

• 1st Cavalry Division, Reynolds, 1st Division, I Corps. (Emmittsburg Road)

9 am:

• Doubleday, 2nd Division, I Corps. (Emmittsburg Road)

10 am:

• I Corps Artillery. (Emmittsburg Road)

Champion’s Hill Scenario:

Champions Hill is one of the important battles of the Civil War.

The Confederate hope at Champion Hill is to defeat the Union in detail, which can happen if

the North starts pushing on early and not waiting for reinforcements.

For game balance give the Confederates the following reinforcements:

S.D Lee's Division, Exhaustion = 10

• 1st Brigade M5 [ ] [ ] [ ]

• 2nd Brigade M5 [ ] [ ] [ ]

• 3rd Brigade M5 [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

• 4th Brigade M5 [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

• Divisional Artillery M5 [ ] [ ] R-F

• Divisional Artillery M5 [ ] [ ] SB-F

Historically SD Lee sat out the battle protecting the Confederate supply trains. Roll for entry

on the west board edge, with Lee entering on a 1 the first turn, 1,2, the second etc.

The Map:

There are some errors with the map.

The upper end of the hill should be two levels high and wooded. This makes it much harder

for the North to hit Stevenson without going into disorder - Historically Logan worked his

way around the top of the hill and came in behind the Confederates.

The wood on top of the hill is a normal wood, which helped explain why the Confederates

were able to hang on for so long.

Bakers’ Creek was is not on the published map it swings down just off the west edge of the

board, which should be a foot wider.

An updated map is provided here.
