15mm ACW again

With the 3D printer still pounding out Union infantry we had another small ACW battle to further play test the ACW 15mm variant of our M2M house rules.
CSA: Chris & Mitch
Union: Mike & SteveJ
Both sides had 3 infantry divisions of 2 brigades of 6 regiments, a cavalry brigade of 4 regiments & 4 batteries.  These represent Corps of about 17,000 men.

The Union are on the near side of the table.  Both sides have their cavalry near the village.  The Union have an infantry division on the far right.  The CSA have all theri infantry divisions on this side of the village.
Both sides have had theri cavalry dismount & occupy half the village.  The Union division on the far right is working it's way forward thru the orchards.  The CSA are advancing all their infnatry this side  of the village.
The Union division on their left has taken up a position on the ridge.  Their centre division has advanced.  
Fire fights rage all along the line.
The Union have reinforced the cavalry in the vilage with an infantry brigade to prevent the Union wrapping around their flank. 
The CSA division in the centre has broken.  The division on their left is in dire striaghts.  Their attack on the village is getting nowhere.
The Union left is being swamped on both flanks.  The attack on the village is still biing held off.  The Union concede the battle & retreat.

The Union made a bad choice in putting a division on the far side of the village, thus giving the CSA superior numbers on the other flank.  The CSA were able to use their numbers there to effect, whereas the Union advanatage on their right was negated by the village.
