Armies of Knoxville


Following the results of voting and random chance, Knoxville has opted for a full-spectrum spread of forces.  Instead of consolidating into three main armies, they have two small contingents, two smaller armies, and one big hammer.  From smallest to largest:

The Sneedville 300 retreated from their hometown to Tazewell.  A few days later a lone company of infantry from Bean Station arrived, bringing the boys in Tazewell up to 450 uncertain men lacking orders.  They have no flag as yet, and may serve to add strength to the local 300 man militia.  Alternatively, they may serve as ready-made replacements for casualties among the other Knoxville armies.

Overall Command: General John Jacob Jingleheimer "Old Slow Trot" Schmitt (h/t Martin Meltzer)

The Orphans:  299 troops (plus 51 more available on 10/17) stationed in Middleboro

Harlan Blitz: The boys in Harlan and Evarts implemented Operation Cornerback Blitz.  Adopting the moniker the Harlan Blitz, they struck out west to stir up trouble behind enemy lines.
