The Wild and Wacky World of ACW Gaming part Deux

Dewey Got mad at me when I left the part about waiting for him up after I had actually posted the write up he sent me. He always has been wrapped a little too tight, but here is the write upas he sent it. The two armies have clashed over a crossing and as the battle commences more units form up and start to enter the fray. The Union has managed to cross the river in three places and have forced the initial reb forces back on both wings. The Union center has also forced its way across the river but at a rather high cost and now the flimsy center is in danger of folding.


From here we can see the entire union push, with both ford crossing now heavily engaged. The confederate center is starting to give.

Meanwhile, on the confederate left, fresh troops move up to the tree line to surprise the union right. Skirmishing begins near Grandma’s cabin.

A union rush across the bridge is met with withering fire from the waiting rebels.

Zouaves from Louisiana reform after an initial setback and now advance with friends to engage the union on the left.

Union troops meet the full fury of the confederate zouaves. Just out of view the confederate battery on the hill fires its last rounds and retires.

The union rush on the bridge is checked as the confederates guarding the ford on the union right collapse. Union troops start to rush the ridgeline. A fresh confederate division can be seen starting to emerge from the woods on the top of the hill to meet this move. Union reinforcements are being hurried forward to exploit the hole before it closes.
