Full
It is February 16, 1862, in Dover, Tennessee, and you find yourself on the side of the Union forces operating under Brigadier General Ulysses S Grant. Fort Henry fell quickly just a few days ago, and the Army and Navy forces have decided to use the momentum to attack the other Confederate Fort across the river. Fort Donelson did not fall as quickly as hoped, the first day the Confederate forces made a good attempt at pushing back Union forces and the Navy boats had not delivered a quick defeat like Fort Henry. Thankfully, the Army forces wore down the enemy and they surrendered. Brig. Gen. Grant and his staff are on their way to receive the defeated Con. Brig. Gen. Buckner. He has submitted to Grant's most famous terms, "Unconditional Surrender." But as Brig. Gen. Grant and you will learn, things inside the Fort are much darker than expected.
