The battle continues. Both sides are more or less engaged at close distance now, so the game is devolving into a "continuous" combat mode without too much manoeuvring and movement. So I will just post some additional photos with some comments, spread out over several more turns.
The situation as seen from the Union right flank. The right flank is threatened bu cavalry, while the Confederate troops are still firmly positioned on top of the hill.
The same situation, but as seen from the Confederate side. The southern cavalry is making progress, advancing through the woods.
Disaster strikes for the Confederates, with several units routing!
Back to the Union right flank. The Confederate cavalry has regrouped somewhat and is ready to roll up the right flank.
However, there is some fierce resistance!
In the village, the Confederate troops are still holding on, but the pressure from the Union becomes really severe.
Some more action near the Union right flank (as seen from the enemy's side), with Union infantry routing.
... and another Confederate unit is routing as well. Units have become so low on morale and strength, that any failed morale test quickly results in a rout.
A general overview of the battle.
Another general overview.
And another one :-)
The situation at the end ...
At this point, I decided to stop the game. Near the village, the Union had succeeded in driving off the Confederacy, but near the hill, the situation was more or less the opposite. However, making an extrapolation based on remaining unit strengths, I concluded that the Union would probably prevail, so they get the moral victory!
