    With the Peninsula Campaign coming to an end, a new campaign begins in the summer of 1862 - the Northern Virginia Campaign. Frustrated by McClellan's unwillingness to re-engage Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia outside Richmond, President Lincoln issues orders to form a new Federal field army around Washington, designated as the "Army of Virginia." At its head is Major General John Pope, newly-arrived from the Western Theater to take command and hopefully spur the Eastern armies into action against Lee's forces. On July 19th, 1862, the Northern Virginia Campaign begins when Pope orders the Army of Virginia to begin its advance toward the vital railway hub of Gordonsville. Lee quickly reacts, reorganizing his army and sending the newly-created Left Wing under Major General Stonewall Jackson to meet Pope's advance. As the two forces move on a collision course with one another, the stage is set for the campaign's first major battle near Culpeper, close to Cedar Mountain.

      I definitely enjoy his battle maps. He presents the terrain well, and he always tells good stories well like Jackson being confused for a farmer. What I think sets your videos apart is setting up the strategic situation. Not to say one is better than the other, any creator that presents CW stuff is great to me.
