[ The numbering method is the one developed by Dennis Snow, that is, The top row is numbered 101, 102, 103, ..., 113, the second row is 201, 202, ..., 212, and so on. If a space is not covered here it is clear terrain. ] BATTLE OF CHAMPION HILL, MISSISSIPPI - May 16, 1863 SETUP You will need to make a few more terrain tiles for this game.

Grant, 4 command cards (move first) Confederate Player: John C. Pemberton, 3 command cards Special Rules: Champion Hill is worth one flag towards victory determination during each player's turn to whichever side is the sole occupant of the range of hill hexes. If there is more than one side then no "points" are awarded. Reinforcements are recieved by both sides in the fight as follows: Union turn 1 - 2x UINF at hexes 110, 111 or 112 Union turn 3 - UINF, UGEN (McClernand) at hex 102 or 103; UINF at hex 601 or 701 Confederate turn 4 - CINF at hex 907 or 908 Baker's Creek may only be crossed at the bridge at 907. Any units forced to retreat across it take one additional hit instead. The railroad is built on an embankment. Therefore, any units defending there are considered to be in prone position on the reverse side. Deduct one die when firing at them.
