ARR III

[Tophat1815]

I'm very interested myself...............keep going!

[Hard Sarge]

well, this is scary sight

the ANV and my Army did not show up

108,875 vs 21417

plus I got 3 VH to defend (I will only defend one if I can) and if I call on the AOP, most times not all of it is going to show, so it will be a outnumbered battle with the CSA having better troops

[Hard Sarge]

the ANV has some dogs in it, but it does have a Arty battery, which I was hoping would be my ACE in the hole, I got one too, but mine is the better weapon, but he got tons of troops

could be a fun battle, or I may be crying myself to sleep

[Hard Sarge]

Oh my
I not ready, I not ready, I still got most of my troops in the Ville looking for supplies and here comes the first wave, this is not going to be pretty

[spruce]

he he, that last screenie has made me curious [:D]

[Hard Sarge]

the northern sector

[Hard Sarge]

the southern sector

[Hard Sarge]

Well, were that dog with the cord pulling tail at when you need him ?

I think I can see where this one is headed to, fast

going to really hate losing that Arty Battery

[Hard Sarge]

it is a slaughter, the CSA is flanking and chargeing, I withstand one and fall to the next, round and round they go

a Cav Bde tries to charge my guns, but fail, my guns are out of place, no holes to fire though

[Hard Sarge]

it is becomeing a battlefield of tears

my Arty has done a great job, repelling charge after charge, they wounded Early, but then Williams was killed, they then beat off two charges but the next two did major damage, the battery is down to 700 men, I am expecting them to die in place

over all, I think my men have done a great job, they have more then done there duty, I fear most of the ones in action, will not be marching home, my last few reinforcements, I have back, to form a screen to protect the routing troops

[Hard Sarge]

That hurt

Robert E does it again

I out for blood now

my Troops are moving to rejoin

[Hard Sarge]

rebuilding my Army

moving troops back to the Army

my other troops are massing for a attack on Tenn-Miss-River area

my fleet has been slaughtered

[Hard Sarge]

this is the big one

I got a good armmed Army, got some new fangled Gatlings, Improved Springfields, a few Withworths Sharpshooters, only 1 battery of guns and 1 Cav Bde

only am not ready for battle when the first wave hits

[Hard Sarge]

the 2nd wave begins

the battlefield is not as good as it looks, most of the CSA troops are not in line of sight yet (you get little spot sighting of them at times)

[Hard Sarge]

this battle, I was able to form a line and have a Div in Reserve, it is coming in handy

the CSA has done damage, rushes and flanking attacks, but that has no staying power

they will bleed themselfs dry pretty soon, if they don't break though the line

[spruce]

great AAR !

[Hard Sarge]

this I do not like to see

he should of stayed with the Artty

[Hard Sarge]

the northern battle line

the Iron bde has been shattered

[Hard Sarge]

the southern front

[Gil R.]

In case this hasn't been pointed out, those triangular piles of cannonballs represent that a unit is out of supply, and either needs to have a supply wagon resupply it or head to a nearby town/village, where it gains one supply level each turn.

Units that are out of supply can still fight (after all, they can still scrape up a few projectiles and grains of gunpowder here and there), but are FAR less effective, and therefore easier to destroy.
