What was your favourite battle of A Glorious Union? This is a multiple votes poll so vote for all you liked.

1. Battle of the Rappahannock - Kearny auditions for command of the Army of the Potomac by saving the Army of Virginia.

2. Battle of Mount Vernon - Bragg thrashes the overconfident Buell to force a stalemate in Tennessee.

3. Battle of Duck River - Hardee takes command and gives Old Rosy Rosecrans a bloody nose.

4. The Battle of the Blackwater - Tragedy for North and South as Butler stumbles and martyrs are made.

5. Battle of Ashland - Longstreet has stood alone against the Army of the Potomac. Can Lee defeat the Army of the Potomac in detail with the time Longstreet has bought?

6. The Battle of Richmond - Can Kearny's daring mass assault on the forts around Richmond succeed?

7. The Siege of Vicksburg - Grant has to fight Pemberton in Vicksburg and Bragg outside it.

8. The Heartlands Campaign - Hardee and Rosecrans fight for Tennessee and the gateway to Georgia: Spring Hill, Williamsport, Mount Pleasant, Pulaski and Elk River.

9. The Shenandoah Campaign - Lee's lightening march down the valley to Pennsylvania: Waynesboro, Kearneysville/Leestown and finally the Battle of the Monocacy.

10. The Battle of Gettysburg - but not as you know it: Lee versus Reynolds.

11. The Battle of Pipe Creek - Lee's impregnable position and a bloodbath in Maryland.

12. The Battle of Liberty - Peck and the Army of the James proves that freedmen can and will fight!

13. The Battle of Chickamauga - another familiar battlefield but a different battle as Hooker and Thomas fight to survive the combined power of the rebels' western armies. Is Hooker destined to become a "busted flush".

14. Battle of Four Armies - Grant walks into a trap at the Coosa River. Can Hooker arrive in time to save him?

15. Battle of Statesville - Reynolds versus Jackson with Sickles in the mix.

16. The Atlanta Campaign Part I - Grant and Hooker on the offensive with the occasional blow from Hardee: Resaca, Adairsville, Cassville, Allatoona Pass, Cold Spring Church, Burnt Hickory, Kennesaw Mountain, Smyrna and Chattahoochee.

17. Siege of Charlotte - Kearny closes him grip on Longstreet. Blows are struck at Kings and Crowder's Mountains, Coffee Pot Hill, the grand charge on the Northern Forts, and Early's attempted breakout.

18. The Atlanta Campaign Part II - the final hammer blows fall on the Confederacy: Lick Skillet, Cavalry Ford, Decatur, Peachtree Creek, Utoy Courthouse, Hopewell Church, Rough & Ready, Second Utoy, Panthersville, Morrow's Station and Lovejoy Station.

19. Magruder's Adventure - Prince John's daring race from Georgia to relative safety in Texas. Although there are battles at Laurel and Hattiesburg and elsewhere its Magruder's adventures that count.

20. Other - Maybe Trevilian Station does it for you; First Petersburg or Yellow Tavern; Carlisle or Harrisburg. In any event let me know!

Thanks muchly:D
 
The Battle of Harrisburg should be here if only because it has Theodore Roosevelt Senior in uniform!
 
Battles are the least interesting part.
I am looking forward to how the peace is handled and how America develops economical afterwards.
 
Hungary Station, the Widow Sheppard's farm. As with the magnificent stand of the Lambs at Liberty, the gallantry of the 1st Maine Cavalry makes this brief account crucial to understanding the human facet of this civil war.

TKI has written some of the most detailed and compelling battles I have read - the battle of Pipe Creek even comes with an amazing poem (for which there should be a prize!). Coupled with the indepth political analysis it is an amazing deep TL.

Keep going TKI - this is what I come to this site for.
