TWWII Draft Campaign Map

Here is a preview of the next campaign map.  All areas along the B&O marked with a small circle are potential targets for destruction (and points).  Federals would have to secure Rockwell's Run, Great Cacapon Depot (there's also a bridge there), Sir John's Run and Alpine Station and hold them in order to extend B&O operations to Hancock (one of Lander's objectives).

There is a minor change in Points Cross Roads. I have changed it into two different TC2M maps. The intersection of Parker Road and Jersey Mountain Road is no longer part of the Points Cross Roads map. It is now called Rannels Tavern (a fictitious locality).

Note Glebe Ford to the south of Fort Van Meter, giving opportunities to flank either Romney or Mechanicsburg Gap. Also, Confederate supply lines can be run through Cacapon Bridge.

This is still a draft, but it gives an idea of the scale of the next campaign. To start, Lander will hold the railroad, the fords north of Romney and the area west of the South Branch and north of the road from Laurel Dale to Purgittsville.  Jackson will hold Romney, Three Churches, Slanesville, Bloomery Gap and the fords south of Romney all the way to Petersburg.  Lowell's Cross Roads and Spring Gap will start out as a "no man's land" along with the area north and northwest of Petersburg and Moorefield.

It will take a few months to get the simulation ready, but that is a sneak peak..

"the area east of the South Branch and north of the road from Laurel Dale to Purgittsville." Really "east"??

You are right! It is west. Thanks and correction made.

Nice to see that "directional dyslexia" is still with us! I have to proof read all orders three times to guard against it.
