American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

As MG Johnson rode down the pike towards the town, his
band playing "Bonnie Blue Flag", he could not help but
to feel elated. It was always thus for him. The sound
of guns, the rebel yells, soon it would be his
time....

Rodes was in good position to defend, the [XIICORPS]
would have to take some casualties to advance on him.
A rider with news that Johnson was but an hour away
and comin hard. And there is a surprise of sorts
awaiting them blue lines in his front......

Early had taken the town, but his boys were tiring.
Yet the yankees in his front were exhausted too. And
with the weight of Andersons' entire division fighting
to the sunken road, all he had to do was push a wee
bit more, and many a yankee would be marching back to
Dixie as prisoner....

Anderson was there, in the orchard, watching as his
masses of men confronted the enemy. A thin line of
defenders, then the guns.
