A.C.W. : Somewhere up state
Night 1, 21st of Aug : A randomly generated ACW clash, planned for 3 weeks which lead us up to the end of summer holiday's
2 Divisions of Union, each with 4 Brigades (all green troops except 2 small veterans), engaged with 4 Divisions of Rebs. The Rebs being the aggressors came on quickly and in force, a lovely sight for the Union gunners (who had a long lost relative of Blenkinsop spotting for them). 4 Turns and the Union guns have yet to hit a barn door, unlike their counterparts who have already got their dander up.
Current scores on the doors for Victory points : Union 8 / Rebs 9
Night 2, 28th of Aug : Well the Rebs just kept coming, the Union left has all but collapsed with heavy Reb pressure shattering 2 Brigades and damaging the other 2. All that is left are the guns, which appear to still have some sort of sight impediment ! The Union left is still standing up well, but has really just been pinned to allow the landslide on the right to go in. However the Victory points are still close, watch this space for the final tally next week.
Night 3, 4th of Sept : Not quite what we expected, the Union looked dead and buried but a spirited fight back from the artillery (Who ended up with 4 guns out of Ammo) and some poor Reb movement made the final nail in the coffin hard work. The result was the Union left decimated, however the left was able to claim a fighting withdrawal along with all 4 batteries.
