Confederate Order of Battle for the Campaign First Manassas

 

I have not managed to post at all on this website since before Xmas. Life has got away from me a little bit with my parents who are unwell and family. 

I hopefully have some blue water for a few months and can refocus on this project. The "state of play" is that it is turn 1 of August 1861. I am off on holiday to Mull with my wife and a few friends in the first week of May. A great target would be to get the first big battle done by then or have it ready to be soon after my return. 

I have now purchased 6 of the cheap plastic fold down tables. I do have a silver wedding anniversary next year coming up so hopefully they won't go to waste as bars or buffet tables if we had some sort of celebration here. Another huge order of roads, creeks and hills from my basic scenery supplier of choice S&S in the UK have arrived. They are superb and will do me a lifetime at all scales up to 15 mmm. I have also purchased a large amount of foam board for creating contours under my printed terrain cloths. 

I have started to plan out the roads and main creek from a number of resources. On the above photo Henry House Hill is the small hill in the in the rectangle of roads on the left hand edge of the table. 

I have had one supplier disappointment. Geek Gaming Mats printing machine broke (according to their website and information) and once it was replaced I made the exact same order of two more  "Autumn" fleece 6 x 4 mats so that I could make a huge 12 x 6 foot table. Unfortunately the new prints are coming up a different tone as you can see in the above picture. It's not terrible I know but I can see it and and it is offending my OCD ! I am investing in kit for a retirement of gaming but I don't have bottomless resources. It will be fine once the whole table is "dressed". If I add a little bit more to the look for each battle and continue to paint my bases I should be able to create some wonderful Civil War "soldier porn" of legendary Scott Mingus proportions ! This is all aspirational unless I get my head down and paint. They only have to paint themselves once and the scenery is super fun.

I think I just need to set aside 2 hours for three times a week and one of the weekend days for the rest of May. The rest of May and June should provide some good opportunities but I am conscious that the anniversary of creating this site may soon roll around with my having taken a year to game the first month. It really doesn't matter though. Back to the main event !  

Confederate Order of Battle 

The Confederates  at the historic battle were comprised of two "armies" which were made up in effect of single Corps sized components. By the 21 July 1861  the Army of the Shenandoah under Jo Johnston had managed to slip away from the Union forces outside Winchester and move across by rail to Manassas Junction. This was occurring from about 3 days before the battle with the final forces arriving as the battle was occurring. Famously Jackson arrived at Henry House Hill as General Bee's brigade was falling out. They rallied behind Jackson and the Virginians "standing like a Stone Wall" and the tide was turned. 

In my campaign Jo Johnston has been at Manassas Junction since the second week of July. Jo Johnston was the senior general and will take overall command of the forces on the day. I will allow however Beauregard also to act as a "corps" commander (without an HQ up to his counter command span 3). Like the Federals I will model each division counter as 2 or 3 "named" brigades and list the regiments as appropriate and provide each division with a divisional commander. 

The main difference I can see in the starting Corps permitted by the V&Bayonet campaign rules for the early war is that confederate Corps have a small cavalry reserve whereas Union corps have a small corps artillery brigade as a reserve (usually rifled pieces so parrot guns). Cavalry is modelled from counters in my campaign as separate purchases under the War Between the States boardame rules. My union Order of battle has provided them with 5 brigades of artillery (roughly ten batteries). I don't believe that the Confederates had less artillery per se. The difference in the model corps in the V&B campaign reflects the greater preponderance of Confederate cavalry in the early war which is already a "thing" in my game with the cheaper confederate cavalry points. I think I will allow confederate HQ's (only) not leaders) an artillery reserve but limit this to a SB-H PT brigade rather than rifled field artillery at this stage of the war. I am not purchasing artillery within the boardgame recruitment cycle so I just have to come up with something fair and representative. Overall union artillery was superior in numbers and effectiveness in the war as a whole as I understand it. Certainly in terms of "kit" and quality of ordanance until large amounts of Union material was captured. There was no criticism of confederate gun crews but they were hampered by inconsistent charges with a tendency to explode early and confederate battalions were known during the war to plead with the artillery not to fire over their heads ! 

Army of the Potomac & Army of the Shenandoah (operates as two small Corps on the tabletop) 

The big line from the Order of Battle and Unit Tracker for Manassas reads as follows. As the counters are not marked "0" against their PT status they have all clicked up to "1" in their time based progress from Green to Veteran status :-

C2409 Manassas Junction, Beauregard****3-3-1, Depot 6-6, 1stCorpsHQ, ST4, C1 (Stuart  Cavalry 2-5) I6 (3 x 4-4 PT NE) I7 (2 x 5-4 PT NE, 4-4 PT NE), I5 (4-4 PT NE, 2 x 3-4 PT NE), Corps Artillery 2-5 R-F , Divisional Artillery 2-5 SB-F PT, 2-5 SB-H PT and J.Johnston****3-3-1, I5 (4-4 PT NE, 2 x 3-4 PT NE) I5 (Stonewall), (Jackson "Stonewall" Brigade (50%)  6-5, 4-4 PT NE) Divisional Artillery 2-5 SH-H PT) (High morale 6-5 first stonewall brigade is allowed from House Divided campaign rules set up and now augmented within a mixed brigade).

So the confederates have 14 brigade stands in total and I think the Union 13. I am assigning Divisional commanders for the sake of the game effectively promoting some of the brigade commanders from the actual day to command groups of  around 3 brigades. 

Confederate Forces at Manassas 

Joseph E Johnston overall command - this essentially has no "game" effect on the tabletop 

Army of the Potomac  (technically a Corps) - P.G.T Beauregard - "1" 

Corps Artillery - Alexander 2-5 R-F PT - Purcell (Virginia) Artillery, Lynchburg (Virginia) Artillery

First Division - James Longstreet "1" 

 

We have a mini galaxy of confederate 2,3 and 4 stars appearing on the battlefield for this battle. I will take the time over coming posts to do my usual introductions but for now I will consign myself to a few pictures. I spent an inordinate amount of time introducing Lyons for the union for the battle of Rolla only to have him suffer the same fate as in real life ! Once elevated by General Lee a little later in the war Longstreet was one of the few commanders in the confederate roll call of the Army of Virginia not to come from that State. He was a Georgia man.  

Divisional Artillery - Shields - Washington (Louisiana) Artillery 2-5 SB S-H PT

Bonham First (Carolina) Brigade 4-4 PT NE, 11 th North Carolina, 2,3,7,8 South Carolina 

Milledge Bonham was appointed major general and commander of the forces of South Carolina at the outset of the war. He commanded the first brigade at Manassas. In 1862 he resigned his commission to take up his post as a representative for South Carolina in the Confederate congress. 

Ewell Second (Alabama/Louisiana) Brigade 4-4 PT NE 5,6 Alabama, 6,8 Louisiana 

Baldy Ewell is another star making his appearance. A regular army officer like many he resigned his commission at the outset of the war when his native Virginia seceded. Throughout the war Ewell petitioned the Confederate government for black slaves to be freed in return for service in the Army of the Confederacy. He was raised as a child in Manassas so should have known the ground well. In the actual battle his brigade was guarding one of the fords a long way downstream and did not see actual combat which was concentrated in and around Henry Hill. 

Jones Third (Mississipi) Brigade 4-4 PT NE 17, 18 Mississippi, 5th South Carolina 

Stuart's Cavalry 2-5 

Second Division - Jubal Early "1"

Jubal Early began life as the commander of the 24th Virginia Regiment but I will give him a one of the divisions for Manassas as he was promoted immediately after the battle. I will hand over command of his brigade to Kemper.

Divisional Artillery 2-5 SB-H PT

Kemper First (Virginia) Brigade 5-4 PT NE 7th Louisiana, 13th Mississippi, 7th and 24th Virginia 

Cocke Second (Virginia) Brigade 5-4 PT NE 8,18, 19 28 and 49 Virginia 

Wheat Third brigade 4-4 PT NE 1st Louisiana (not yet the crack "Wheat's Tigers" I don't believe who gave service in the valley but I will paint them as fancy zoaves for some variation from grey and butternut and a little elan, 4th South Carolina

Third Division - Nathan Evans "1"

Divisional Artillery 2-5 SB-H PT

Holmes first (Arkansas/Tennessee)  Brigade 4-4 PT NE 1st Arkansas, 2nd Tennessee

Garland second (Virginia) Brigade 3-4 PT NE 5th North Carolina, 1, 11, 17 Virginia 

Wade Hampton's South Carolina "Legion" third brigade 3-4 PT NE 

Whilst unassigned in the ORBAT for Manassas we will designate the Hampton Legion as a brigade and give it a run out at Manassas. The "Legion" was a fully independent force consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry but for the purposes of the game we will assign it as a brigade to one of Beuregard's divisions. 

Army of the Shenandoah - technically a "corps" Joseph E Johnston "1"

Corps Artillery Pendleton 2-5 R F 

First Division Thomas Jackson "1"

I have promoted Jackson to command a division early for game purposes. He can gather the the forces to hold the "Stonewall" on Henry Hill. It is unclear as to whether Bee below was refering to a physical stonewall on the battlefield or describing Jackson as a stonewall. In any event the name stuck and was passed on from the man to the Brigade he led.

Divisional Artillery Rockbridge Artillery (Brokenbrough) 2-5 SB-F PT

First "Stonewall" Brigade (Virginia Cummings) 6-5 2nd, 4th, 5th, 27th, 33d Virginia

Second Brigade (Georgia) Gardner 4-4 PT NE 7th, 8th Georgia

Second Division Bartow "1"

Divisional Artillery (Culpepper/Staunton Virginia Artillery) Imboden 2-5 SB-H PT

First Brigade Bee (Mixed) 4-4 PT NE 4th Alabama, 11th 2nd Mississipi 

"Mississipi ! There is Jackson standing like a stonewall. Let us determine to die here and we will conquer ! Rally behind the Virginians". And the rest is history. 

Second Brigade Kirby Smith 3-4 PT NE 1st Maryland, 3d Tennessee 

Third Brigade Col. Fisher/Gibbons (tbc)  3-4 PT NE 6th North Carolina, 10th Virginia 

That concludes the Union and Confederate orders of battle. With 27 individual brigades to model I need to paint now something like 480 10 mm figures as well as an awful lot more artillery and caissons. This will actually break the back on the painting I need to do for a long while with the game. They will not paint themselves butI will try and both enjoy the exercise and listen to some more educational material on the War. 

See you in hell Billy Yank ! See you in hell Johny Reb ! 

Confederate Cavalry Units

 

I am waiting on one or two more scenery pieces and have a few more union bases to complete and artillery to paint but in the meantime the Prices' Missouri guard units for my battle of Rolla are complete including the mounted cavalry. 

I went for a very "dressed" and new 1861 look with the yellow cavalry cuffs. I will add some much more tousled and ragtag cavalry units later for the wars progression. These are Pendraken 10 mm confederate cavalry. They come with essentially two poses - carrying carbines at the ready and with sabres drawn for the troopers and then 3 different style command figures - an officer with a curved sabre and a standard bearer and a bugler. I am really pleased with how these have turned out. A few clear rules for painting 10 mm are emerging. Firstly paint the unit and not the figures. Secondly keep the figures tidy but less really is more with the details. A good flag and some shiny weapons and decent cuffs and all is good. Finally keep the paints as bright and light as possible. Any small figure will come up "dark" especially when using a wash - and with washes use a very soft or light shade. I think I am using medium brown from Army Painter. Any darker with the wash and the figures just turn to mud. 

Under the ACW Volley and Bayonet Rules cavalry can be 2 to 4  strength points on a 3 inch square base and is designated as "light cavalry". I am using two rows of 3 bases (20 x 30 mm) with 2 mounted figures on each. The back two bases are mounted as full light cavalry brigades. A full light cavalry base will dismount as a 3 inch x 1.5 inch linear infantry base.  I have yet to settle on the size of my infill dismounted bases. I may just use two 30 mm square bases as two of these will fill up a linear infantry tray. I might be able to fit a horse holder on each at the back and perhaps 4 or 5 other dismounted cavalry figures - possibly also dismounted command. This may not convert across to other rule systems such as Fire and Fury or Johnny Reb III or Alter of Freedom, but I can always do something else for my cavalry with those rules. I will make up some 20 mm squares as well and see what I prefer later. Given my 5 year timespan with this project I am in it for some detail. 

Light cavalry can throw off skirmish cavalry bases of a point each. A 1 point V & B cavalry stand is actually also on a 3 inch square base. So I can use blanks on a big base or  try  a smaller linear base which might be easier ? This would denote the 1 point value and be less confusing and less needy for  blank filler bases. A 1 point cavalry base dismounts as a 1.5 inch square base which would take one 30 mm square base. Can I get 6 figures on a base with a horse holder ? I think so as a small vignette and this would work well for occupying a village or section of wall or fence.  So I think this settles the issue of what to do for dismounted cavalry for other games. Just buy some more dismounted figures and make nice horse handlers etc. and prepare smaller bases. 

The OOB for Rolla has the confederates with a 2 point cavalry counter on tree map (4 strength points for V & B or 2,000 horses) which will come into the game as two separate 2-5 PT cavalry bases. These can of course be broken down each into 4 cavalry 1 points skirmish bases. I think given their numerical superiority it might be preferable to have just two 2-5 bases which will dismount as a 2 point linear infantry base. Either way I will need to make 4 30 mm dismounted cavalry bases. 

I am keen now to crack on with the battle so will not wait too much longer for further supplies of scenery, finish of the extra couple of units (mostly union now) decide the future of Missouri ! 

See you in hell Johnny Reb ! See you in hell Billy Yank ! 

Living Order of Battle and Game Tracker

 

Position at the End of Strategic Turn August  (8) 1861

This Page is a live summary of the position and type of all map units and other important information for both sides. It includes a summary of blockades, political points and developments, supply and personnel points and for each "on map" counter what they "contain" for the tabletop Volley and Bayonet brigade bases which will fight our battles. The Order of Battle is extended to include the factored in artillery. I have also listed all fortifications and how these will translate to the tabletop. 

Map Key 

A/B/C 1234 - Map number and coordinate for unit grouping on War Between the States map (A is the West Theatre North map - B is the West South map including the Gulf coast from North West Florida to Galveston in Texas. I will include names of places on the map - confederate cities which attract supply points will be in bold and names in italics will be confederate sea ports. Supply points provided by cities and ports vary by month e.g. by season/harvest time. New Orleans, Richmond, Nashville, Memphis and Atlanta are major supply cities and increase in supply provision annually. 

Counter Key

Counters in War Between the States are in strength points that represent c. 1,000 men. Volley and Bayonet units/bases have strength points for each 500 men. 

I# Infantry counter and strength, C# Cavalry counter and strength, M# Militia counter and strength G# Garrison counter and strength, HQ Corps HQ, FA# Field Army and Supply Name***(#-#-#) Leader with Star Rating and Statistics (Initiative, Combat Span (****/***** only), Combat Value for Morale), RT River Transport, RF River Flotilla RI Iron Clad NT Naval Transport NF Naval Flotilla, SG Siege Gun, X2 Fort, X3 Fortress, ST# Supply Train and Supply (up to 10 points) DepName# Department and supply e.g. DepMiddle, Depot#/# Depot counter number and Supply (up to 99 points) 

Volley and Bayonet Bases "contained" within the counters at each location are described and using standard notation some examples 6-4  PT/NE DG (a 6 point green infantry base with dedicated artillery with morale 4 operating at 40 % exhaustion within a unit - the no elites designation is lost when promoted but the PT poorly trained designation remains for six months following recruitment), 4-5 (a veteran  brigade stand with morale 5 operating at 50 % exhaustion within a unit, Cav 2-4 PT (a two point green cavalry brigade stand), 2-5 SB-F PT (smoothbore field piece (probably a 12 lb Napoleon) newly recruited) and so on. 

Artillery is assigned to beginning/new units in sensible types and amounts based on the standard V&B Corps and those listed in the House Divided campaign order of battle. That Order of battle details some variations in units from the outset so some regular US units in Western union formations and a stiffer brigade in the confederate Army of the Shenandoah. Each division of 6-9 counter points (12-18 base points) will be assigned initial artillery and forces with multiple divisions and an on map HQ function may also receive Corps artillery as per standard V&B ACW corps by year and upgrades and promotions will occur/can be awarded  quarterly 3 March/6 June/9 September/13 December in accordance with the House Divided campaign rules. 

Finally for tabletop command and control purposes only I may include on an ad hoc basis one or two divisional leaders as appropriate for forces approaching divisional strength or more (c. 6/7,000 men - 6 counter points - 12 base points) where a counter commander is not present but for basic game purposes only. 

Fortifications X2, X3 special cases for Richmond, Virginia and Vicksburg

The War Between the States campaign rules allow a free upgrade of any x2 counter built in Washington or Richmond to a x3 fortress. Rather than have a chance role for the placement of fort (this seems silly when both capitals were fortified from the get go as a strategic imperative)  from July 1861 and with an expenditure of 30 supply points (the average cost for fort placement) both sides can place a fort counter. Washington and Richmond will then commence fortifications/works and siege artillery which translate to the tabletop in accordance with the schedule in the House Divided campaign rules. By 13/61 the counters will be upgraded to fortress counters to designate the advanced state of the works and artillery. I will keep a running tally in the Order of Battle of the State of those fortifications. 

In addition the confederate side has designated Vicksburg as "fortress Mississippi" and at no additional cost it will follow the schedule of fortifications and siege artillery from 8/61 in the House Divided Campaign rules up until 9/61 and receive a x2 counter. On payment of 50 supply points from turn 10 in full or across a number of turns (a below average cost of a fortress purchase attempt) Vicksburg will upgrade to a fortress and will continue to follow the "fortress Mississippi" fortification and siege artillery schedule. 

Fort Monroe  C3118  begins with an X3 counter on the map and and begins the game with 48 " (6" per side of "fort" sections under the Volley and Bayonet rules and 2 brigades of 2-5 SG-SB artillery. As a fortress in the War Between the States Rules can take up to 100 strength points of counters I think the suggested 24 " (6 " per side) is a little small. Equally for a fort to take ten points of counters (perhaps 5 bases at 4 strength points and 2 brigades of siege artillery and it the counters divisional artillery) it will need probably 12 " on each side initially. 

All other existing or built forts X2 counters (e.g. Memphis, Charleston) will have or create 24 " of field works and 2 SG-SB Artillery in two instalments (i.e complete after a quarter). Any newly built X3 counter will have the works upgraded to "Fort" sections in two instalments (i.e complete after a quarter) with 2 additional SG-R artillery brigades. X2 and X3 counters other than those in the campaign set up and Washington, Richmond and Vicksburg will be subject to payment costs in the War Between the States rules but I may dispense with the  "chance" rolls for placement. I am not sure I like the chance roll ? Surely if a side expends the resources it should be able to complete the works. Throwing away say 200 supply points for the confederacy because a 1 in 6 die roll fails to construct a fortress doesn't seem fair. I will probably just allow a build on the payment of the above average chance cost payment (1-4 on D6) - 40 for a fort and then 120 for a fortress. That seems sufficiently expensive for the confederacy to "dig in". Sieges generally were lost in each instance 

Strategic Turn August 1861 

Politics and Blockades  for August 1861 Strategic Turn 

B4026 Pensacola and C3119 Norfolk are blockaded due to union occupation of B4027 Fort Pickens and C3118 Fort Monroe respectively.

 

Supply Points are now now noted with rail points at the end of the Orders of Battle.

Both sides exhausted all Personel Points for the Month (which are use it or lose it in any event). 

The Confederates gambles and Missouri joins the Confederacy. Both sides will receive additional Personal Points in accordance with a Schedule with roughly 2/3's of these going to the Confederacy. The Union gains a point for the failed victory attempt. 

Political Points/Victory Conditions/Neutrality etc. 

Confederate  0 - Union 1 

Two failed appeals by Confederates 7/61  & 8/61 (required 1 or 2 for Kentucky or Missouri  respectively to join the Confederacy and Missouri joined). 1 point to the Union for the second attempt on the table. 

(1) Kentucky Neutral

(2) Missouri Confederate

(3) No Foreign Intervention

(4) No Emancipation Proclamation

(5) Neither side Occupies any Cities (Variant Political Rules 29.11/29.12) or the union the Lead and Salt Mines (Saltville/C0819) 

(6) Union has not cleared Mississippi

(7) Union has not cut Virginia/Tennessee Rail Link

(8) No destroyed or captured Forts or destroyed Army HQ's 

(9) Union has destroyed 3 map strength points 

(9) No replacement of leaders for either side  of Leaders

(10) No additional Volunteer Calls or Drafts
