General William Tecumseh Sherman and Army Group West's 1st Corps have been marching hard towards the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg. Standing in their way is the 22,000 men of Barton's Army and they have no intention of letting the Union near the city without a fight. With skirmishers out to buy time, Sherman gets his troops into line of battle and sets his artillery up to cover the wide open expanse of ground the Confederates will need to cover to attack the Federal lines. As the battle begins, Sherman moves his line onto the high ground in order to stop the rebel advance. In the east, the enemy pushes against the Union forces in Virginia and the 3rd Corps of the Army of the Potomac is ordered to march on Lynchburg.
