![]() ![]() This was close, it could have easily gone the other way. Success! My left battery held out for long enough to distract two enemy brigades so my center could repel the assault, and then turned to face the left. They came straight at us, but it looks like we might *barely* be pushing them back. I pulled my guns back and pivoted my left to face them, but it hasn’t distracted them from their overall mission of flanking me. I’ll give the AI this: it knows when to try to flank. Right now, we’re sending skirmishers back and forth to harass, but nothing has really happened quite yet. The rebels have begun forming up inside the range of my guns, and have just wheeled their guns up. It looks like they may try to just march straight into my line. The rebels are finally getting close enough for my guns to fire on them. We still have plenty of time before they arrive, so I’ll move both brigades to the left side of the trench. We didn’t have to wait as long as I thought we would, they just showed up about a mile away, coming down the left road. Things look good for us now to sit and wait. We have a pretty dang good position the enemy is going to have to come down one of those two roads to get to us, we have heavy guns, and rifles to boot. The Confederate army in Missouri that initially retreated turned around, and is now attacking the re-occupying Union army. Can’t wait for that thought to bite me in the ass. ![]() Things, for the moment, seem to be stabilizing. We also have our fleet on the way, and it will likely be a Union victory. ![]() Now, a small Confederate fleet sits in the river, but they can’t do much to us. Out west, the Department of the West walked into St. Now, they sit idly, running out of supplies as McDowell watches comfortably near DC, and our fleet in the bay keeps them from trying to slip away. The armies that McDowell’s Army of Northeastern Virginia had routed aren’t able to flee across the Potomac back into Virginia, it seems. South of DC, the situation is better than it had been. This time, I’m going to stay on their tails to make sure they go back south and not further north. Now is the time to hit them.ĭoubtless, they’re not in any condition to fight. The fleet is lagging behind, but it’s important we attack quickly while the enemy is focused elsewhere to not give them a chance to turn and focus on us.īut later in the day, we first find the Hampton Division. Backing my small army up is a small fleet to dissuade reinforcements. We’ve left the city in rebel hands long enough. In western Illinois, we’re making our play at St. The goal is to first surround the likely enemy position, then pin them with one army while the other comes in for the kill. The Army of Frederick, on the other hand, is a leaner but better equipped unit. The Army of Pennsylvania has fought several hard-won battles recently, and is not in great condition. In the East, the Army of Pennsylvania and the Army of Frederick are turning north to chase down and hopefully destroy the Hampton Division. ![]() The other army is the Department of the West. This time around, we have three armies on the move: two in the east to hunt down the Confederate Hampton Division, lurking somewhere in western Pennsylvania, cut off, wounded, but still dangerous. Last time, the Union escaped a Confederate raid on DC by the skin of its teeth. ![]()
