Re: Axis Turn 165 / 23rd August 1942 Yes, I check every day to see if you've posted anything new.

Re: Allied Turn 60 / 18th August 1940 Just took the time to catch up this morning. Nicely done Dierk!

I use a picture of the Angle at Gettysburg looking out towards where the Confederates came from.

I just sent him a PM yesterday but haven't heard back yet.

Since the Union minor victory in our last game resulted in a campaign draw we've elected to start a new campaign with the starting point of June 15th, Crisis in the Valley (historical). I was presented with two options, staying on the Rappahannock and ignoring the the Rebels in the Valley or...

After a work caused delay my Confederate opponent has offered me a minor victory which I accepted. This resulted in a draw for the campaign! However we have decided to start anew with a later starting point. Look for the new thread!

Nice AAR, love the visuals. Be looking forward to future installments.

As requested, here is the jump map upon completion of turn 47 (out of 216).

I'll try to remember to do so.

Well dusk has fallen over the battlefield so not near as much action. I did manage to spring a little trap at Fauquier White Sulphur Springs as he sent his cavalry over the ford to go for my seemingly uncovered guns. Only they weren't so uncovered as the screen shot will show.

Well turn 44 has come and gone. The Rebels are putting minor pressure on the northernmost portion of my line but it is steadily increasing. 2nd Corps is deploying and will be moving in to assume part of the line to allow 1st Corps to consolidate and shore things up. I'm paying the price for...

Here's the set I generally use.

Just completed the Union turn 40 and I feel the momentum that I gained from my cavalry foray slipping away as the Confederate infantry keep arriving and putting pressure on my northern lines. An unforseen consequence of my cavalry forays was that it drew Confederate infantry south and I all of...

Glad you like it. Always nice to get some encouragement. Hope it proves useful in some way, especially as I've taken a different tack then I usually do.

Well the Rebels are putting pressure on my Union forces all over the map. My excursion across the river is ending badly as Rebel infantry has arrived and is steadily pushing me backwards. Had one regiment rout behind enemy lines and they will end up in Andersonville. Meanwhile I'm skedaddling...

The situation is getting better for 2nd Corps as we are putting a little distance between us and the Rebels, plus the site of Sickle's Corps showing up in support has to be making him think a little. At Ruffan's Run I'm trying to get the heck out of Dodge as there is a lot of infantry coming...

Well I really can't say that the fight is for Great Run any more as I've basically retreated out of the gap and are trying to establish a line on the ridges beyond. Fortunately Paul and Baxter's brigades are going to be in position to hold one shoulder and other reinforcements are almost in...

Turn 24 is in the books. Cavalry fight continues around Ruffans Run. More Rebel cavalry arriving and I'm forced to go on the defensive for the time being. 5th Corps has made it up to relieve the last of Buford's tired troopers but they are going to have a hard fight on their hands as there...

Rebel infantry continue their strong push through the Great Run and I'm experiencing routing problems there. Nothing there yet to back them up so I'm starting to sweat that one. Paul's brigade from 1st Corps is on the way but I'm concerned that may not be enough. I've begun setting up the AoP...

Well the cavalry fight is winding down near Ruffans Run but I do have one large unit along with Grumble Jones isolated that I'm hoping to kill off. Meanwhile, as the screen shot shows, the infantry action is about to get underway at the Great Run area.
