Trampling Out the Vintage is a wargame simulation on the Union Army's camapign under General William Tecumseh Sherman on his advance to seize the key Confederate city of Atlanta. Sherman's Armies under Thomas, McPherson and Schofield would be tested by the Confederate army under General Joe Johnston as he manuevers his forces under Hardee, Polk and Hood in an effort to block and then stop the advance.

Battles like Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, and Kennesaw Mountain would come before the bloody battles of Peachtree Creek and Ezra Church. The campaign would culminate in the conquest and burning of Atlanta. Can you as Sherman do as well or as Johnston stop the Union Army?
