Expanding THE WAR IN ARKANSAS - Battle of Crooked Creek

THE WAR IN ARKANSAS II is expanding to a new front. Starting next week, the Confederate I Corps and Federal XXIX Corps will be fighting on the east side of the Arkansas River. This will be a two player tactical simulation that will have no direct affect the campaigning going on between the II Corps and XXVI Corps to the west. The I Corps and XXIX Corps will fight at Crooked Creek in a short tactical simulation to test a new methodology.

The I Corps is moving north from its headquarters at Arkansas Post, while the XXIX Corps is moving southward from it headquarters in Brownsville and a camp at Lake Bluff. They will engage at Crooked Creek in a short sim lasting a few turns. The two corps are balanced in terms of strength, quality and weapons. Any losses or changes in quality from Crooked Creek will be carried forward into any future appearances by the I Corps and XXIX Corps in THE WAR IN ARKANSAS franchise.

More next week.....
