It's March 1, 1864 and here's the situation ...
Howard, with 100,000 men, Hancock, Thomas, Pleasonton and Grierson have set out from Fredricksburg. They're now 50 miles west of Petersburg.
Meade, with 60,000 men, Reynolds, and Sedgwick, are 100 miles east of Atlanta.
Sheridan, with 15,000 men is running interference for Meade.
Burnside is still in Atlanta awaiting reinforcements.
Curtis (3,*,0) with 20,000 is in Harper's Ferry and about to head southwest into the Shenendoah Valley before reinforcing Howard. (If I hadn't drawn Curtis this turn Ben Butler would be doing this and Howard would not get reinforcements).
Rosecrans has JE Johnston pinned in Vicksburg.
McClellan is still pussyfooting around near Springfield, MO
Hooker is in St. Louis with Burnside's reinforcements. When they reach Atlanta Burnside and Rosecrans are going to 1-2 punch JE Johnston in Vicksburg if Princess doesn't abandon the fortress.
In Virginia "I bought a ticket for the long way 'round. It has the prettiest of views." If Princess has AS Johnston stay holed up in Richmond-Petersburg it'll get ugly. If she sends him out to fight in the open I'm probably losing Sheridan and an entire corps if she rolls anything but a 1 before Meade and Howard surround the ANV and force it to surrender.
