The Confederate mission is to keep the east route open for reinforcement from the east and to force the Federals to break the siege of Vicksburg. Common Sense should rule the day. Troops should be encouraged take hits, when obvious action has accrued. The lay of land lends itself to full engagements, surprise attacks, ambushes, raids on supplies trains, and reconnaissance in force. Commanders should be aware of the possibilities and prepare for them, as well as live with results.
Supply trains are subject to attack, capture or destruction.
If a wagon is hit, and determined to be destroyed or captured, the wagon's contents can not be used for one hour. Troops taking hits must fall where they were hit. They can however be moved to the rear. They can return as fresh troops after 15 minutes. Riders must move to a safe position and dismount.
