Battles of the Civil War - The Battle of Wilson's Creek

[Franconicus]

Reason for C on the last choice is that we are outnumbered. It would be deadly to break up our troops into separate forces (Custer anyone?)

Lee did that all the time and so did Napoleon.

I think before we make the decisions, we should decide if we want to attack or stay defensive.

If we want to be offensive, we should think about apropriate tactics. I think surprise is the key.

If we decide to be defensive, most important thing is to find the right position.

We won't get anywhere, if we discuss the deployment. while some want to attack and others want to defend.

As for question two, would it be possible to mix options B and C?
How bad/stupid would it be to set up camp, prepare the pickets (option C) but still have a Brigade not rest as a defense?

[Csargo]

I think we should attack Rains.

Absolutely, this is possible.
