Fire & Fury battle

Well Ryan and myself met once again for an ACW challenge. This time not part of a campaign just a friendly, so to speak! As soon as the first shot is mustered i'm not sure its friendly :):).

We rolled the die to see what scenario we would be playing. "Sustained Attack" and it was Ryan's Union that would have to select one piece of terrain, defended by yours truly, to attack in order to gain the objective points.

The town is deserted as the Rebels (me) move out to defend the surrounding areas.

Union forces set up artillery across the river...


The federals then make their way through a woods and make an attack on the Rebels moving out of the town.
  

Lots of battle takes place and then the Union finally reaches its selected target... the near woods... defended heavily by a large force of Confederates.


Fighting was frantic and consistent, a number of assaults coming from the federal forces.
However, it was the Rebels that held strong and held their object, wiping a number of Union regiments from the Field.

The Confederates win this one!

Unlucky Ryan, Well done to Me! :)
