As May 31st, 1862, dawns over the wet and muddy outskirts of Richmond, General Joseph E. Johnston's bold attack plan against McClellan's divided army along the Chickahominy and Pamunkey rivers begins! However, mishaps and miscommunications almost immediately begin to unravel Johnston's carefully-laid plans. Now, the Confederates find themselves clumsily bungling their way through an attack on Erasmus D. Keyes' IV Corps position at the crossroads at Seven Pines, while the Union troops of Edwin V. "Bull" Sumner's II Corps prepare to counterattack at the railroad junction of Fair Oaks Station. In the largest and bloodiest battle yet fought in the war's Eastern Theater, who will prevail in this chaotic and confusing clash?
