Turn 40: Forgot to do the turns in between. Not much have changed anyway. Howard still has not arrived. He is now more than 12 hours late. For 1st Corps it is over, there is nothing I can do to save what is left of my men. Meade is caught together with them, what a disaster!!!!!!!. I...

Turn 36 and 37: Situation on the battlefield has not changed much since turn 35. 1st Corps is, well....., it's doomed. I have include a screen dump of the fighting around Emmitsburg, Overview and Victory screen.

Turn 35: It is now full daylight and the fighting rages on unabated. Geary’s division continued its advance and smashed his weak left flank. Along the rest of the line the exchange of fire continued. But I am gaining the upper hand. Davis’s brigade has managed to trap 400+ routed rebel...

Turn 34: Unfortunately his reinforcements were not far behind and as they advanced 1st Corps is again forced to retreat under heavy pressure. I had 4 units routing. Rebel cavalry managed to sneak around my right flank and capture Robinson; brigadier general Paul was promoted and has taken his...

Turn 23: The fight is on. At Emmitsburg the rebels looks determined to hold their ground, as they fiercely returned fire. 4 regiments routed on my left flank. 12th Corps has joined the attack as Geary ordered his men to attack what appears to be his left flank. Williams’s division is taking up...

Turn 30 & 31: Situation pretty much unchanged. Turn 32. It is 04:00AM; dawn has broken. South of Taneytown the 1st Corps managed to escape during the hours of darkness. As the men prepare themselves for today’s battle you can feel and see the tension and anxiety on their faces. They know...

Turn 29: The fight around Emmitsburg picked up as Scales’ brigade joined Archer in his attack. But again he suffered heavy casualties compared to me. One rebel regiment took a hit of 108 casualties out of its 4xx strength. Humphreys’s division that was placed further east is moving up in...

Turn 27: Retreat!!!!! Turn 28: It is 11.00PM and darkness has been upon us for a couple of hours. Most of 1st Corps has managed to escape during the early hours off darkness. It looks as though the rebels have halted their advance. But make no mistake, the rebels are still out, and it will...

Turn 26: Night has fallen but it is far from over for the 1st Corps, as the rebels’ continues their pursuit. I have to try and see how many men I can get to safety.

Turn 25: With night upon us the rebels used the last daylight to continue their advance. Again moving to within one hex and charging at my men. This time it was The Iron Brigade who repulsed the charge and saved my line. But the heavy fighting is taking its toll on my men; 3 regiments from...

Turn 24: As the last ray of light is disappearing over the horizon the fight continues to rage on south of Taneytown. The men of 1st Corps have fought excellent, but as the rebels continue to push forward, they are barely able to hold their own. Once Daniel gave the order to charge with...

Thanks to RangerBooBoo for clearing that up. Here is turn 23. Turn 23: 12th Corps commanded by Slocum arrived on the field just west of Beaver Branch. Unfortunately they will not be able to move and support 1st corps as the distance is to long. Instead 12th Corps will move north to join 3rd...

Turn 22: Okay I need help here. When I choose unit and then scheduled from the menu bar there is a small star by the name of Howard and Slocum. Both of them have not arrived yet, but were scheduled to arrive at 06.00 PM. Well back to the fighting. Dusk has fallen to my big surprise. I am not...

Turn 21: Damn it. Howard has not arrived yet and it is now 06.40PM. He should have arrived at 06.00PM. You should have thought that the sound of fighting would have spurred his men on. 1st Corps is still retreating under heavy pressure. At least they are now out of his artillery firing...

Turn 19: Situation unchanged. Turn 20: The situation is rather alarming for the Union forces on the battlefield. Kilpatrick’s division was completely caught off guard by rebel cavalry and infantry along the Baltimore Pike. My opponent managed to move his cavalry, placed on the Hanover...

Turn 18: Birney’s division has crossed Tom’s Creek and is forming a line ready to advance. Humphreys’s division will start to cross further to the right on the next turn. His infantry is still a couple of turns away so I should have enough time to cross and get my men ready for battle. Only...

Turn 15: To the west Devin has successfully fought his way across Tom’s Creek and is continuing his advance on Emmitsburg. Davis is also advancing North West of town and has managed to destroy some rebel arty. Emmitsburg will hopefully fall to the Union cavalry soon. Rebel cavalry, now...

Turn 14: W.H.F. Lee and Hampton continued to press forward and brooked through Gregg’s line forcing Gregg and McIntosh to flee the field. The good news is that Doubleday is positioning his men south of town ready to counterattack. The rest off 1 Corps is following close behind, getting a bit...

Turn 12: Well I did not manage to cross Tom’s Creek. A regiment of Jones’s brigade arrived just in time to block the way across the creek. Davis is instead moving further north and will try to cross where Tom’s Creek is joined by the Friends Creek. From there Davis will move south-east on...
