Rules:

The game will be turn based. Each turn´s orders will effect time span of one hour of the battle. For each turn i will provide a situation map, which shows our troops and what we know about the enemy.

During the battle. Chain of command applies. So in other words. The player controlling Robert E. Lee has the power to decide actions for the three Corps under him. He can ask opinions and council from the Corps Commanders, but he alone has the power to give out orders for the Corps. The player controlling Lee can order his Corps what enemy or point of ground to attack or defend. Attach Divisions from Corps to another, but he cant micromanage the Divisions assigned to each Corps. Players controlling Corps commanders can decide how they use their Divisions and Brigades inside those Divisions.

The Corps commanders should read information concerning their subordinate Division and Brigade commanders as their personality will effect how they will execute orders given to them. I will be your adversary controlling the Union army of Potomac.
