Hail Mr Lincoln: ACW

Chris & Simon's Union v. Steve & Renfrey's Confederates.
The Confederates have 2 brigades occupying the village.
2 Union brigades are advancing thru the woods.  3 more Union Brigades (2 inf & 1 cav) can appear as reserves sometime after turn 2 from either side of the table along the railway.
3 Confederate brigades (2 reg inf & 1 small vet inf) are coming down the road from the right sometime after turn 4.
The village is under attack by the 2 brigades that advanced thru the woods & dismounted cavalry.  Another Fed inf brigade has just come on the left hand side.
The Confederate reserves are marching down the table.
The Union attack is closing in on the village through the Rebs still hold all the buildings. 
The first of the Confed reserves is deploying. The Union has taken the whorehouse on the far left & the stockyard beside the railway station.
The Union cavalry has mounted up & skedaddled behind the last to arrive reserve brigade after being shot up by the Confederdate counterattack.  But the Saloon has fallen to the Union & the Station is under attack.
As night falls, the Confederate counterattack is driving the Union right back, but the Union have taken the Schoolhouse (front right) & repelled the Confederate counterattack on it.  The Union have suffered heavy losses & are being pushed back by fresh Rebs, but the Union held the whole town at our 10pm deadline so it is a Union victory.
