Following a painfully slow advance up the Virginia Peninsula during the spring of 1862, Union Major General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac now stands at the gates of Richmond. The capital of the Confederacy is defended by the Army of Northern Virginia, now commanded by General Robert E. Lee after the army's previous leader, General Joseph E. Johnston, was wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines. Heavily reinforced, both great armies are eager to begin the campaign that will decide the fate of Richmond.
After an initial skirmish and minor Rebel victory at Oak Grove, the opposing armies are poised for the main event.
This thread will track the decisions and progress made by the courageous men in gray!
(If you'd like to discuss this AAR (and the Union counterpart) please discuss it in this thread. That way, the AAR's can maintain a cleaner read for everyone. Thanks!)
