Battle of Chattanooga, (November 23–25, 1863) was a decisive engagement in the American Civil War, fought at Chattanooga on the Tennessee River. The battle contributed significantly to the overall victory for the North.
Chattanooga had strategic importance as a vital railroad junction for the Confederacy. In September 1863 a Federal army led by General William S. Rosecrans was besieged there by a Southern army commanded by General Braxton Bragg (who previously crushed Union forces at Chickamauga in Sept, 1863).

The following month General Ulysses S. Grant took over the campaign to relieve the Union troops and seize the offensive. With the help of reinforcements from General Sherman, the Federal forces defeated the Confederates in the Battles of Lookout Mountain & Missionary Ridge and lifted the siege; the result was completely decisive, ranking in importance with Vicksburg and Gettysburg the same year. The way had been opened for Sherman’s march to Atlanta and Savannah the following year.
Rebel Fury allows us to play that engagement in six turns battle, with both sides having set Strategic Objectives to win. Union will be on attack, Confederates on defense but the inevitable losses of assaulting forces might impact the overall result. Let us see how it went:
