Ring of Fire?

Although Romney is the prize of this simulation, there may be a sort of "ring of fire" to the north and northwest of Romney. Control of Romney will be worth three points per day and the town can support a garrison of several brigade, more than half of either army. But Slanesville, Three Churches, Springfield and Green Spring Depot / Old Town together are worth a total of five points per day. They are located between the Federal Base of Supply at Cumberland and the Confederate Base of Supply at Bloomery Gap. This area is likely to be hotly contested.
