Stones River OOB for TC2M (v1.0)
by jackfox

----------------

A fierce battle took place at Stones River between December 31, 1862 and January 2, 1863
General Bragg's Confederates withdrew after the battle, allowing General Rosecrans and
the Union army to control middle Tennessee. Although the battle was tactically indecisive,
it provided a much-needed boost to the North after the defeat at Fredericksburg. Lincoln
later wrote to General Rosecrans, "I can never forget [...] you gave us a hard-earned
victory, which had there been a defeat instead, the nation could scarcely have lived over."

This OOB is largely based on the Stones River OOB from Talonsoft's Battleground: Chickamauga.

NOTE: Two OOB files are included in the zip.  OB_Stones River includes the armies as they
existed the morning of December 31, 1862.  The other is a "What if" OOB which includes two
additional divisions in Thomas' Wing for the Union and Stevenson's Division in Polk's Corps
for the Confederates.  This assumes that Bragg retained Stevenson rather than sending the
division to Pemberton's aid at Vicksburg.

Regarding weapons and uniforms: I have utilized the Iron Brigade class in many cases.  I
think the Hardee hats better fit the western troops, although I hope somebody can mod a
uniform that excludes the gaiters.  Small arms are assigned based on the OOB from Talonsoft's
Battleground: Shiloh.  Generally, this means either an 1861 Springfield, 1853 Enfield or a
1842 Musket.  If anybody has any good sources that detail the various small arms distributed
among the troops at Stones River, please let me know in the MMG forums.
