ACW : Jarvis Junction
Night 1 : 28th of May 2019
5 Cobs for this one, table size 8 x 6. We randomly generated 2 Reb divisions (4 Brigades each) and 3 Union divisons (4 Brigades each.
This gave an ideal 3:2 attack defense game, with an objective of the Reb held junction. 4 turns in and it's already looking bleak for the Rebs.
Conclusion next week.
Night 2 : 4th of June 2019
The game got under way with things looking very bleak for, the outnumbered, Rebs. All across the battle field Union pressure was building.
Both flanks were pinned or shattered, and the central attack from 4 Union divisions were approaching the junction with little to stop them, the Union guns opened up and decimated the remaining Reb divisions in the center and it was a walk in the park to the junction. On the right the farm fell as the Union boys resorted to the bayonet.
Then the Rebs struck back with some fierce charges on the left and fine volley's from weakened brigades on the right. However the telling fire of the Union guns was still crippling the Rebs.
So it just wasn't enough, and a Union victory was declared ... A rare thing of late !
