August 10, 1861 18 Turns ---------------------[ Historical ]--------------------- 5:20 AM: As the Civil War began, the state of Missouri was split in its loyalties to the North and South. General Nathaniel Lyon, commanding the Union Army, held Springfield, Missouri with a small force, hoping to keep the Confederates from gaining control of the state. However, Confederate forces under General Ben McCulloch were marching to join the Confederate Missouri State Guard led by General Sterling "Old Pap" Price. Fearing that the combined Confederate forces would be too much to defend against, Lyon decides to make a surprise attack against the Confederate camp. General Sigel convinces Lyon to let him attack separately from the main Union force in an attempt to surround the Confederates, hopefully cutting off their retreat. Just as the Confederates are making final preparations for their own advance against Springfield, Lyon and Sigel launch their dawn attack.
