- **Event Name**: You Take Command: Wargaming the Battle of Chickamauga in Miniature - September 19, 1863
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 21 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: On Saturday, February 21, at 1:00 pm, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will host an interactive, 3-hour, miniature wargame focusing on the Confederate attacks on the Union center on September 19, 1863, that will take place at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center. Up to 10 participants can take command of portions of the Federal and Confederate armies, making decisions and maneuvering military miniatures across a 3-dimensional tabletop battlefield as they seek to overcome some of the challenges faced by commanders during the real battle in September 1863. 

Participants will determine the outcome of this phase of the battle as they each take on the role of corps, division, and brigade commanders during the assaults of Benjamin Cheatham’s and A.P. Stewart’s Confederate divisions in and around the Brock, Brotherton, and Poe Fields on September 19. Players will work together using easy-to-learn rules to coordinate desperate assaults or spirited defenses to achieve victory. Dice rolls and event cards will help to determine the effects of combat, command and control, and the fog of war. If you would like to view the Battle of Chickamauga from a fresh perspective, or if you are interested in exploring the hobby of historical miniature wargaming, this program is for you! 

No miniature wargaming experience is necessary, and children are welcome to participate with an accompanying adult. To reserve a spot for this event, contact ranger Luke Dixon at luke_dixon@nps.gov. 

We hope to see you there!
