ACW 28mm

 6 players, each with a division of 6 inf, 1 gun & 4 cav distributed between them,

The CSA are on the near side.  Mark in cntre, Chris on left & Jim on right.
Union have SteveJ in centre with Mike on his right & Renfrey on his left.

On the left & centre, CSA advance stopped on the ridge line.  On the right the CSA advance was a feint againsy superior numbers & was followed by a redeployment to the rear.

View now from behind Union left.
On the left the CSA are making a fighting retreat through the farm & over the river.
The ubuin are now attacking all along the line.
On the left the CSA have retreated across the river with enough fit units to form a good defence on the river line.  On the centre & left the Union attack petered out & they fell back, but the CSA were too badly damaged to counterattack.  

The CSA plan was to hold off superior numbers on their right to allow victory on their left & centre.  It only half worked - the battle ended as bloody draw.
