Arlington - July 9th

A single battalion of Union cavalry advances on Arlington, which is occupied by a Confederate infantry regiment.

Union cavalry advances south down the Warren Road and past the Methodist Church to Arlington. 

Confederate infantry in the northeast section of Arlington open fire on the advancing cavalry. 

To Arlington....

Here are four short videos showing the approaches to Arlington via the Black Horse Pike, Kingston Road (and Ferguson Corner), Fulton Road, and Warren Road. All units appearing are from the previous simulation. The camera goes down the road towards Arlington, sometimes looks around, and then goes back where it started.

The Town That Must Be Taken...

The Confederate Army of the Mountains will certainly make effort to prevent the Union Army of the South Branch from ever reaching Arlington. If they do, it will look like this...

The TC2M Modded map for Arlington is not ready yet, but there is enough progress to release the minimap.

Arlington Under Construction....

I am still working on the Arlington map. I had hoped it would be done by now, but I put a some fences in the town, which now makes map work awkward and slow.  This shot is while Arlington is still in the map modding software, with the view looking east down the Kingston Road. If Union troops cross the North Branch at Doyle's Ford, they will most likely approach by this route. (Of course, it will look different when it is finished!)  The major Federal objective that must be taken to win the campaign will be in the middle of the town.
