    This scenario recreates the Battle of Sharpsburg in 1862, where the depleted Confederate division of D.R. Jones defended Sharpsburg from an attack by the Union IX Corps. The Union corps attacked in a piecemeal fashion against Jones' troops until the Confederate division of A.P. Hill arrived after an 8 hour march and halted the Union advance. The scenario uses miniatures and runs over 8 turns from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm when dusk falls, pitting the exhausted Confederates against the Union corps seeking to take Sharpsburg.

    Sharpsburg 1862

    This game, taken from Fire & Fury's Eastern Battle's Scenario Book, re-creates the afternoon action at
    Antietam. The Union IX Corps, nominally commanded by Jacob Dolson Cox (who was really under Ambrose
    Burnside's thumb), made a final push on Sharpsburg after having driven the Confederates back over Antietem
    Creek. David.R Jones' depleted Confederate Division was all that stood in their way. In the nick of time
    Ambrose Powell Hill's 'Light Division' arrived after having marched 17 miles in 8 hours and saved the day.

    This is an excellent scenario as, unlike many Fire & Fury scenarios, it does not require huge numbers of
    troops or a whole day to play the game. Technically it should be a walk-over for the Union but the restrictions
    placed on the reserve divisions means that they have to attack in a piecemeal fashion (as was the case in the
    actual battle) therefore making it a very balanced game.

    The game starts at 3.00 pm and runs 8 turns (to 6:30 when dusk falls).

    Scale: 1 stand = 150 men

    Deployment

    Sketch map showing the initial deployment of the Confederate Brigades and Union Divisions on a 6x4 table. I
    used 20mm figures on 1" square bases. The Union Brigades are very large and players should deploy them in
    a double supported line.

    With the exception of the Union Corps Artillery, players may deploy their batteries as they wish.

    Only the essential terrain features are shown. Both banks of Antietam Creek are wooded and there are several
    corn fields between the two armies. As the corn was at full height it blocks sight on the same level until a
    brigade has moved through it. Woods also block sight but may be fired over by troops on higher ground.
