Westmoreland in Southern Victory
In 1943 General Irving Morrell concentrated his forces in Bowling Green before launching an offensive towards Nashville. The Confederates were caught unprepared and so didn't offer serious opposition until the town of Westmoreland. With his superior armor, Morrell succeeded in destroying Confederate barrels from a range that they could not respond to and so was only somewhat slowed.
