About the game
In the fall of 1863 the Union Armies of the Tennessee and Cumberland moved south against Atlanta, only to be met by the Confederate Army of Tennessee and reinforcements sent from Virginia. The Rebels stopped the Northern advance, then laid siege to the Union supply center of Chattanooga. But in the "Battle Above the Clouds," the Yankees broke the siege. Includes both of these hard-fought battles and a combined campaign game!
