American Civil War action: Hoover's Gap

Having noticed that I have not had a Civil War battle for awhile, I shall be fielding an action once I clean up my black powder table.
Union forces on the hill, made up of dismounted cavalry armed with repeater rifles

The Confederate Cavalry arrive

Confederate Infantry begin to advance and fire from the woods


the Confederate Cavalry deploy to cut off the road
I played the Confederates differently from their historic counterparts.
The infantry were extremely aggressive in their attacks. though the cavalry took heavy looses, the rebel artillery and firepower drove off the yankees. 
This battle which I fought on the table top was actually the last one with my civil war collection I parted with the collection to a fellow collector in order to expand my other collections hopefully those of you who look at this site will enjoy the last shots of this collection in action
