ACW 15mm:

Union:  Jim, Mitch & SteveJ.
CSA:  Mark, Mike & Chris.
Each side had one corps, each of 2 infantry divisions of 2 brigades, a cavalry brigade & 4 guns.
Rules: M2M house rules with moves & ranges reduced to 2/3 for the 15mm figs.
There were 3 objectives: 2 bridges & the railway station.

The Union are on the right or near side.  Both sides have their cavalry on the far side of the river.
Both sides have advanced & seized a bridge.  The Union skirmishers got to the railway station first.
There is an ongoing exchange of fire along the line as the Confederates prepare for an attack on the railway station.
The confederates took the station, but a Union counterattack took it back.  The union also got on top of the fire fight on the near flank & the Confederate right flank brigade has broken.
On the other side of the village the Union was driven back, but counterattacked & regained lost ground.  The Union also won the cavalry fight (mostly fought dismounted) on the far flank.
A deadly volley of Confedate musketry broke the Union line in the fenced field on the far side of the village, but it was too little too late & the Confederates conceded the battle & have begun to withdraw.
