The mini-campaign was a success in that it generated the battle area and troop compositions for a fictional encounter that was still possible in June/July 1863.

Just as historically, the Union will be in the south and the Confederacy will be approaching from the north.
Exact compositions of forces will not be revealed until game day, this Saturday July 22.
For a more overhead view of this location, via a modern mapping tool, simply enter Lewistown,Maryland in Google maps and you'll be in business. Though the rivers may have moved a little and there was no crossing of the Monocacy River into Woodsborough from the (now Old) Frederick Road.
Big Hunting Creek is the waterway in the north and Fishing Creek dominates the south of the proposed battlefield.

In person gaming? Or do you have some people remoting in via camera? (or issuing orders for you to carry out?)
In person game planned for my place on the 22nd.
I could make allowances for a remote connection, now that we have a different internet connection it might be worth looking into - we are not data limited any more.
At the moment I'll be alone running it and the game though so mist likely to come via a cellular camera connect.
Email me DaveB and we'll see what we can work out.
