We are not quite ready to run Turn 5 yet. In the meantime, I have been working on the map for Burlington, a strategic rail junction at the south central part of the campaign theater. Troops and supplies from Bristol (the Confederate base of supply) pass through Burlington to points west, such as the junction at Jackson. From Burlington, the Madison Spur takes rail traffic north to the town of Madison in the center sector of the campaign theater.
The situation at Burlington is not currently clear. What is known is that Federal cavalry of unknown strength occupied the town in the last week of July and damaged the rails and depot there. It is not known if they are still occupying Burlington on the morning of August 1st. Until Burlington is back under Confederate control and the rails repaired, supplies and troop movement are constrained in the Department of Tennessee.
The TC2M modded map for Burlington should be out this week. The minimap has already been posted on the reference maps page.
