The Battle of Salem Cemetery (8)

Turn 7.

The turn of the cavalry charges :-)

First, there's a charge (morale effect) of the Confederate cavalry on the right flank.

Quite successful, so it seems.

Then there's another charge on the same flank, attacking the infantry position near the cemetery. Again, quite successful.

Thus means the cemetery hill is now largely undefended.

And another charge down the middle of the front.

Also, some advancement on the Confederate left flank, where the Union forces were completely wiped out.


I guess this somewhat concludes the game. There is some potential to slog it out over a few more turns, but the statistics and relative remaining strengths of the units show that Salem Cemetery has fallen.

The game went rather well, and as usual, I will tune some mechanics here and there.
