“Now the entrenchments looked imposing indeed.”
The Battle of Resaca – May 1864
Bryn Monnery
In May 1864 Sherman embarked on a campaign to seize Atlanta and destroy the Army of Tennessee under the wiley Joe Johnston. The overcautious Sherman squandered his first opportunity to crush Johnston at Dalton because of enmity with his senior subordinate, Thomas, and favouritism towards McPherson. McPherson reached the outskirts of Resaca with 4 divisions, but blinked when faced with an enemy brigade and withdrew. Johnston slipped away and blocked Sherman’s advance at Resaca, digging heavy entrenchments on hills dominating the route Sherman intended to advance. The position had good flank protection. Johnston is intending to give Sherman a bloody nose.
The Battle of Resaca, from Harper’s Weekly, 18th June 1864 edition.
The Historical Battle
The Army of the Tennessee started the 14th on the field opposite Resaca. Their sharpshooters and artillery opened fire at 6am, but the attack was not ready until 1pm. Sherman launched a series of disjointed attacks, each with a single Corps which all petered out. Hood’s Corps then left their entrenchments and, at 5pm, turned Sherman’s left. In a show of amazing sangfroid a single Union battery stopped the Confederate attack dead after the Federal infantry on the left had been routed, allowing the single division Sherman kept in reserve to move and refuse the flank. To prevent the Confederates on their left reinforcing the attack McPherson threw his one intact Corps at Polk and gained a lodgement. Polk then counterattacked McPherson and but was repulsed. This placed the rail bridge (Johnston’s line of communication) within the range of Federal guns.
On the 15th Sherman launched an attack on the Federal right, which was repulsed. Johnston committed Hood to attack back, but this attack was aborted when news reached him that a detachment of Sherman’s army had placed pontoons over the Oostanaula at Lay’s Ferry 3 miles away and his lines are now threatened. During the night the entire army withdraws undetected over the river, pulls up their pontoon bridge and fires the railway bridge.
Game Length and Victory
The game lasts two days, unless Resaca is occupied on the second day, in which case a third day may be played. First turn is 6am, and the last turn is at 7pm (14 turns/day).
The Union win outright in two ways. One, if they occupy the town of Resaca (and attendant rail bridge) for a whole day, in which case the Army of Tennessee becomes out of supply and will be effectively destroyed. Two, if they damage the Army of Tennessee it can no longer function without taking too much damage. If the Confederates lose more than 25% of their infantry (20 SP) then the battle is an outright Federal win.
Conversely, the Confederates only have one way to win. Inflict as many casualties as possible on Sherman. If they inflict 25% casualties on Sherman’s infantry (25 SP) then Sherman’s already wavering nerve falters, and he withdraws north and asks for more men, saving Atlanta (for the while at least).
Board
The scenario is designed for a small board (4x6 ft). The main features are the two ridgelines, which are separated by a water feature. The eastern ridgeline is not continuous and has a gap through which the road of Snake River Gap to Resaca runs. The Western and Atlantic Railway runs behind the Confederate lines through Resaca, and the Wagon Road also bisects the battlefield N-S. The Connasauga River bounds the eastern edge of the combat area, and the Oostanaula River bounds the southern edge. There are three bridges over the Oostanaula, the Wagon Road Bridge, Rail Bridge and a Pontoon Bridge. There is one area of heavy forestation.
Setup
Unit start locations are as indicated.
All Confederate units are stationary and are located in fieldworks. The Federal units are also stationary, but have no works. All guns are unlimbered.
Special Rules
1. All infantry is slow and linear
2. Artillery has NOT been included in exhaustion calculations (add 1 in each case)
3. Units with Poor Musketry have a maximum range of 2” and shoot on the PM line of the table. Those without PM shoot as normal rifle-musket armed troops (max range = 4”)
4. ALL batteries are classed as “mixed”, it hits on a 4-6 upto 4”, and on a 6 upto 15”.
5. There are optional command rules, see below.
6. There are optional artillery ammunition rules, see below.
Command Rules
These are based on existing GDW rules from “A House Divided”. Each side rolls 1 dice for command points at the beginning of their turn. In the case of a poor AC (such as Sherman) then the allowed range is 1-4, all 5’s and 6’s become 4’s. For a normal AC (such as Johnston) the allowed range is 2-5, 1’s counts as 2’s and 6’s as 5’s. For an exceptional AC (such as Thomas, who replaces Sherman if he is killed) the allowed range is 3-6, count all 1’s and 2’s as 3’s.
There are several uses of CP’s:
1. To activate units (corps or divisions)
2. To move the AC (since the entire command system must adjust to sending information in different directions)
3. To recover from rout
4. To alter command arrangements
It costs 1 CP to activate an exceptional CC, 2 for a normal CC and 3 for a poor one. If the AC is within 6” of the CC then number of CP required is reduced by 1 (so exceptional CC are activated for free). If the distance is greater than 24” (of journey rather than as the crow flies) then an additional CP is required, and will require more than one turn as orders propagate at 24” per turn (so between 24” and 48” the activation will take effect next turn, between 48” and 72” in two turns time etc.). This time restriction does not apply if an army has wig-wags set up (which neither does in this scenario), but the extra CP must still be paid.
Once activated, a Corps can be used as normal, they can move, attack or entrench. Unactivated Corps remain in place and can’t move, attack or entrench. They may still defend themselves and fire their artillery as normal.
Moving the AC costs 3 CP at all levels. The AC (and command post) may move 24” before setting up again.
Rallying a unit from rout, whether conducted by AC or CC costs 1 CP (in a modification of 7.5.2).
CP’s may be spent to cross-attach divisions (or a part of a division) to different corps (or attach army troops). The division must be within 6” of the receiving CC and 1 CP spent to transfer the division. The division is now effectively part of the receiving Corps. In the process divisions may be split, creating new temporary divisions. Use your best judgement.
Also note, the DC’s have been assigned quality ratings, but these have been used to determine exhaustion numbers (poor DC = 40%, normal = 50% and exceptional = 60%).
Artillery Ammunition
To prevent both sides simply blasting each other with artillery there is a ration on artillery ammunition. Both sides have an ammunition track. Every time a battalion fires reduce it by one.
The Union army has 66 shots with it (6/ unit). The Confederate army has 33 shots (3/ unit), which is only what is in the caissons, as the train has crossed the river.
Notes – Federal Army
The first thing to note is that there has been an attempt to disentangle the Federal fighting strength from their “present for duty”, a task made even more difficult when Sherman moved the sick and extra duty men into the “effective” category. Using Sherman’s own estimates as a guide the combat strength of each division was set at 60% of their Aggregate Present strength (Sherman estimated 57-67% of his PFD was “effective”, which as noted included the sick etc., in June he would try and make 75% “effective” by arming the wagon train, the cooks, and various other non-combatants). We end up with, after detachment of several divisions elsewhere, an infantry force less than 50,000 bayonets strong.
The Federal force consisted of 3 “armies”. In fact the Army of the Ohio was simply a 3 division Corps (of which one is not present) and a cavalry division which was placed under the Army of the Cumberland’s Cavalry Corps (which is not on the table) and the Army of the Tennessee only had 4 divisions of which one is not on the table. To simplify matters the Army of the Tennessee has been consolidated into a single Corps (which the Confederates believed it was). The other three Corps belong to the Army of the Cumberland. The IV and XIV Corps were the original Army of the Cumberland which began as XIV Corps, before being split into XIV, XX and XXI, with XX and XXI being consolidated into a new IV Corps after Chickamauga. The new XX Corps under Hooker is the 3 divisions of XI and XII Corps he brought west from the Army of the Potomac. This army was under Thomas, but he was frequently bypassed and so has been removed to simplify the command structure. Incidently, Thomas technically outranked Sherman. This further complicated command arrangements.
For the purpose of this game the Union Army consists of 5 infantry corps (four with 3 divisions, one with 2 divisions). In the Army of the Cumberland every division consists of 3 brigades and an artillery battalion. In the other two the brigades are weaker and have been consolidated for game purposes.
The armies are a mix of M4 and M5, with the artillery of 1/IV rated as M6 for their heroic defence at the real battle. XX Corps and XXIII Corps were apparently better, and are generally rated M5, IV and XIV Corps and the Army of the Tennessee aren’t quite as good and are rated generally as M4 (except Hazen’s and King’s brigades, which are notably better and rated as M5). The end result is that 21 of the 36 brigades are M4, and 15 are M5.
The unit count is 1 army commander, 5 corps commanders, 13 division commanders, 33 infantry brigades and 11 artillery battalions.
Notes – Confederate Army
The Confederate force consists of two armies, but they have merged operationally into a single unified command. The Army of Mississippi is in the process of reinforcing the Army of Tennessee. It has only brought up a single division (Loring’s), a cavalry division (placed under Wheeler and off the table) and half the artillery.
Johnston has rejuvenated the Army of Tennessee, instituting a programme of training that includes proper training in the application of fire. The Army of Tennessee can shoot better than any other army in the Civil War. They’re trained to Continental European standards. Hence they don’t have the PM penalty. Polk’s Corps of course wasn’t there for the months of intensive training and so remain poor shooters. Johnston’s weakest troops (Walker’s division) are off table, leaving the Confederates with 4 M4 brigades but 23 M5 brigades.
The roster count is 1 army commander, 3 corps commanders, 9 divisional commanders (2 for artillery), 27 infantry brigades and 11 artillery battalions.
Notes – The Table
The table is much more generalised than the map, but has the essential features, notably two ridgelines with a disordering creek between much of them and a thick disordering forest in one area. It is very simplified.
Table setup (simplified from map). 4 ft x 6 ft. The two ridgelines are about 6-8” apart (i.e. beyond close artillery range).
