Iuka 1862

We fought the Iula scenario from the Black Powder supplement Glory Halleujah! (with a few tweaks).

The Union (Mike & Chris) are on the right with 2 brigades marching down the road surprised by Confederates (Mark & Jim) on their right flank.   There is another Union brigade coming down the road behind the others.  The Union have to drive the Confederates back & take the T junction on the left in 8 turns to win.  The woods are open woods with no effect on movement, but count as cover & reduce range to 12".

The larger Reb brigade deploys to defend teh road.  The smaller one advances to the edge of the wood on their left to delay the Union reserves.

On the near flank the two sides are blasting away at each other across the road.   In the centre the Rebs are giving ground but hanging on.  The 3rd Union brigade has been slowed by bad commnad dice.

The Reb left is giving ground to prevent it being outflanked, but the Rebel line is still holding.

 The 3rd Union brigade has finally got into the action & the Rebel left has collapsed.  But the Union left has also been broken allowing their remaining brigade to reface to their left. 

The Union numbers are now counting, but the Rebs have held on to the T junction just long enough to claim victory.
