Q: Where did Union cavalry win the first significant victory over Confederate cavalry?

 

[CyberRanger]

Custer beat some of Stuart's boys outside of Gettysburg ... the battle was in ACG ... darn, what was the name???

I want to say your thinking of Hannover but then again something tells me that isn't right. I wonder if the historians consider Brandy Station a Union victory!

 

[Jim Cobb]

Gotta be Brandy Station. The Yanks made Jeb look so bad he forgot to do recon during the G'burg campaign because he was glory hunting.

BTW, this point is well-illustrated if players lose Brandy Statin big time and move on to that huge hypothetical meeting engagement in the campaign.

 

[rahamy]

Sorry guys, no one's got it yet...remember, we're looking for the 1st time...

 

[Jim Cobb]

It should be easy; there were so few.

 

[Jim Cobb]

Greerson's Raid?

 

[arckon]

Was it Springfield (Missouri) in Oct 1861?

 

[rahamy]

Nope, no one's right as of yet...will give you a little while longer.

 

[lezgo killemall]

[Alex Krolikowsk]

I vote for 1864 battles in Virginia...maybe a Yellow Tavern where JEB was mortally wounded

 

[rahamy]

Sorry guys, got distracted with real life.

A: At Kelly's Ford, Virginia, March 17, 1863.
