Quick Overview of Tournament:

The BIG TEN Tournament!

* - 9 Individual Battles (15 turns in length)
* - 1 Final Tenth Battle (35 turns in length)

Notes:
1 - All casualties from the first original 9 battles will carry over to the final tenth battle.
2 - 1/3 of the battle fatigue will carry over as well.
3 - Both forces have the same amount of units, supplies and weapons.
4 - The only differences between the two forces are their leaders and their ratings.
5 - All Option Rules Dialog settings are on except Manual Defensive Fire & Optional Melee Resolution
(to help speed up the matches)


The tournament is based on Lee's retreat from Gettysburg. After regrouping their forces, Lee and Meade look to face off again on the Falling Wates map west of Gettysburg. In these 10 scenarios, the weather has finally cleared and given Lee and Meade a chance to inflict a decisive blow. In attempts to get the upper hand, 9 smaller engagements (Battles 1 - 9 ) will take place around Falling Waters. These 9 battles will determine the setup for the final "BIG TEN" tenth battle. All of the casualties from the first 9 battles, similar to a campaign battle, will carry over into the final fight.
