The Confederates are mounting a raid on the Union supply line. Their objective is to take Carpet Junction railway station & the nearby bridge & destroy them. They have an infantry division of 12 regiments, a cavalry division of 4 regiments & 2 batteries of Napoleons.
The Union have two small infantry divisions of 6 regiments a rifle battery to defend the railway station at the junction & the bridge.
Mike commanded the Confederate infantry, Steve the cavalry & Jim commanded the Union.
The Confederates are expected to attack from the far side of the table.
The Confederate infantry immediately advance on the village.
At the same time, the Confederate cavalry advance on the bridge & dismount with their artillery on their right.
The Rebs attack the village directly while wrapping around the Union left. The Rebs left is held up by the Union battery over by the bridge firing shell into the flank.
On the other flank the Union have counterattacked the cavalry & artillery.
The Union have held on to the whore house, but been driven out of the station & both flanks are falling back. The end is neigh for the Union on this flank.
On the river front, the Reb cavalry are selling their lives dearly, but the Union have too many men & the Reb cavalry is about to break.
After taking the village, the Confederate infantry redeployed to attack the Union right.
At the same time the Union right, having seen off the Rebel cavalry redeployed to meet them.
While the Rebel cavalry had been defeated, they inflicted more casualties on the Union right than the Rebel infantry has lost attacking the village. They made the Rebels pay, but the Union right just didn't have the numbers left to hold off the renewed Confederate attack. So a Confederate victory.
