Historical Overview
The Battle of Jonesborough (modern name Jonesboro) was fought August 31–September 1, 1864, during the Atlanta Campaign in the American Civil War. Two Union armies led by Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman maneuvered to draw the Army of Tennessee (led by John Bell Hood) away from their defenses at Atlanta, Georgia, where it could be destroyed.
Although Hood's army was not destroyed, the city of Atlanta was abandoned and then occupied by Union troops for the rest of the war.
The fall of Atlanta also had far-reaching political as well as military effects on the course of the war.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.

Since the posts on BGG indicated that Big Battle Cry is intended to be played with M44 OL-style (not CCA Epic) rules, I would suggest the notes by modified accordingly.

Modify/adapt the MM44 rules to BC, send it to us and we add it :)

Once a great US president said, "don´t ask what your country can do for you, but ask, what you can do for your country"

so i would modify this great words to

"Don´t ask what your Website can do for you, but ask, what you can do for your Website ;)

Don´t Forget, that all C&C Websites are done from Alessandro and his supporters in their free time for no money

So anybody can add his own ideas, indifferent if this are new rules, Terrain tiles, units, to Keep such a website alive :)
