Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I'm speculating on a few questions, and will post one for a few different major battles here.
thebattle29
A. What if at 1st Bull Run/Mamassas T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson didn't earn his moniker and the Confederates ran away.
B. At Shiloh/Pittsburg Landing, what if Prentiss and Wallace didn't hold their positions at the Hornet's Nest?
C. What would have happened if the Union didn't cross the Chickahominy River instead of marching off to Gaines' Mill?
D. During the Battle of Malvern Hill/Poindexter's Farm what if the Union artillery commander, Henry Jackson Hunt was incompetent or on leave?
E. What if Maj. Gen. McClellan instead of Maj. Gen. Pope commanded the Union combined forces at 2nd Bull Run/Manassas?
F. At Antietam/Sharpsburg, what if A.P. Hill didn't arrive when he did?
G. What would have happened if at Fredericksburg Union commanders cooperated with G.G. Meade and attacked Prospect Hill in full force where Meade launched his assault and in a coincidence, found Maxcy Gregg's position?
H. During Stones River, Rosecrans fortified at Nashville Pike. What if he retreated to, say, Hardin Pike?
I. What if Chancellorsville did not even happen? Would Hooker remain in command?
J. At Gettysburg, would Ewell have won by taking Cemetery Hill if he was more aggresive?
K. Chickamauga. Would IT have happened if Rosecrans was more active in defending the bridges and fords?
L. At Cold Harbor, what if the Union sent an attack rush in one place along the confederate line, instead of spreading out?
M. What if at Franklin, Confederate brigade-division commanders weren't killed? (Morale-wise, not strategically)
N. What would happen at the theoretical Battle of Washington?
O. What would happen at the theoretical Battle of Richmond?
