BATTLE OF OAK GROVE (also known as the Battle of French's House or King's Schoolhouse) - (JUNE 25, 1862) --- HISTORICAL DAY 1 OF SEVEN DAYS BATTLES --- General McClellan ordered a probing attack against Richmond's outer fortifications astride the Williamsburg Road for the morning of the 25th. Hooker's III Corps division dutifully stepped off into the intervening treeline and was immediately caught hip deep in a sticky morass that was a northern extension of White Oak Swamp. Confederate troops from Benjamin Huger's division quickly advanced to meet them. The resulting daylong fight ended in a draw. As nothing was really accomplished that was worth the lives spent, the fight was dubbed derisively as the "Battle of the Casualties". This scenario includes the entire front, giving players the option to escalate the historical battle.
