Field notes
The planned game combines a hex-map campaign layer with real-time, first-person raids, beginning at a named Northern Virginia location. The site details a research process that compares archival sources and includes an 1863 Alfred R. Waud illustration with Library of Congress identification and publication information. It also distinguishes archival imagery from game frames and asset-pipeline renders.
