As the simulation prepares to start, the players have very limited intelligence. Jackson's Headquarters has been and is presumed still be in Winchester. The nature of any garrison there is unknown. To the north, intelligence indicates that Brigadier General Lander is to arrive from Washington and is rumored to be preparing to establish his headquarters at Hancock, Maryland. It is unknown if his newly forming division is in place there.
What is known to both sides is that there is a Federal force at Dam No. 5 which has been observed from time to time by elements of Ashby's cavalry.
Each army is yet to discover the position and intentions of the enemy.

| The only direct sighting of enemy troops in the days immediately preceding the campaign have been at Dam No. 5. A Union force there has been under periodic observation by Confederate cavalry, but there have not been any engagements. |
