ACW pick up battle

 An ACW pick up battle for Steve & Dale Daniels visiting from Canberra.

The battlel started with the Jim's CSA in two columns on the roads from the near side of the table, Dale's Union on the road from the left & Steve's Union on the road from the right.
The CSA galloped cavalry forward to seize the railway station & stock exchange as both sides march ther infantry towards the town.

The Union treid to drive the Reb cavalry out of the buildings but were repelled as REb reinforcements came up.  On both flanks the Union formed up behind the railway embankment where they were egaged with musket fire.
Union cavalry have moved around the Reb's left flank.

On the right the superior Union artillery & the embankment have given the Union an edge & the Rebs have pulled back.
On the left there are losses on oths ides, but the Union failure to take the stock exchange has given the Rebs an advnatage there & the Union are falling back.

On the right, the Union foot has not followed up the Reb/s retreat, but the Union cavalry from their right flank has crossed river & charged the shaken infantry at the left end of the Reb line.
On the left the Union have pulled back as the Rebs take the town.

The Union cavalry charge shoudl ahve rolled up the Reb flank, but somehow the shaken Reb inf held the line & Reb inf from the left crossed the river behind the cavalry perseuding them to retreat.
On the left it looks like the Union have more troops, but the Unionregimenst are enarly all shaken & the Rebs are occupying the buildings.

At this stage neither side has anywhere near half their units broken, but the Union only have 3 regs unshaken to the Reb's 6 & the Rebs hold the town, so it is a win for the Rebs.
