The Battle of Chickasaw Bayou was a grand missed opportunity for the Union Army in its desire to crush the Rebellion. If Union General Sherman had proceeded with haste, the Federals could have captured Vicksburg and delivered a master stroke against the Rebels seven months before Vicksburg surrendered on July 4, 1863. Historically, the Union took four days to launch their "Grand Assault", giving the Confederate defenders in their trenches ample time to receive much-needed reinforcements. Can you do better than Sherman?

The Prelude to Vicksburg game system is from Revolution Games' popular Blind Swords series that utilizes a chit-pull mechanic emphasizing the three "FOW's" of military conflict: Fog of War, Friction of War, and Fortunes of War.
