************

Oct 1939: The USA, sensing
a opportunity with the CSA's
ally England embroiled in
the latest European war,
declares war on the CSA.
The Northern papers trumpets
that its a war of reunification,
but the real reason lies
closer to the economical
aspect. With dwindling oil
production in the North and
the overseas market so
volatile the USA sees no
other course than to secure
the oil rich South. Bring them
back into the fold so to
speak. They open the war
with a offensive aimed at the
capitol of the CSA,
Richmond Virginia. With
surprise on there side they
hope to bring a swift end to
the war and to reunify the
country. As luck would have
it the I Corps of the Army of
Northern Virginia are holding
maneuvers in the vicinity of
Culpepper, Virginia. Luck it
indeed was for the CSA
Intellegence service fails to
detect the coming USA assault.
So, the CSA is taken completly
by surprise by the USA assault.
The USA Plan calls for a
amphibious landing on the
Virginia coast east of Richmond.
The objective for this force is
two fold. One prong
will move toward
Fredricksburg, Va to link
up with USA forces
coming from the north and
the other prong will strike
out for Richmond.
With the help of the I Corps
ANV, which contains 2 of
the best divisions in the
CSA army, the USA
offensive is halted at the
gates of Richmond and
turned back. I Corps ANV is
virtually destroyed as a
fighting force but
manages to hold just long
enough for reinforcements
to arrive on the field.
After much blood letting
The two great armies pause
to lick their wounds and
regroup. CSA General
Dwight Eisenhower is
mentioned several
times in dispatches during
the battle. He is summoned
to Richmond after its over
and is given command of
The Army of Northern
Virginia. He is up and coming
and will play an important part in
the coming conflicts.
