My son has taken a fancy for American Civil War games. It's a way to get him back into black powder actions.

This battle turned out more like a Zulu war action where the British underestimated their foe. 

Union forces hold a river crossing

A quick game between my son and I. While I've been working, he has been tweeking his tactics.

He basically sent a Confederate division against a Union Brigade. Despite the Union flanking the Confederate line, they were still able to smash through.

Confederate forces advance to capture both bridges over the turnpike

Federal troops deploy with gun support to protect the bridge

One brigade holds a farm to halt the Confederate advance

By turn three, the Rebels have deployed cavalry and their artillery and infantry have pushed back the Federal position at the farm

With their loss of artillery, the federals are able to burn one bridge and withdrawl, giving a partial victory to both sides
