with some reinforcements arriving, and catching the CSA off guard in the rear, seems the plan is starting to pay off, lets hope it carries on the same way, until game end hopefully.

as the CSA leaves the heights to counter the attacks in the rear, now is such a good time for me reinforcements to be marching down the road to support the guns in front, as the box slams shut, the fight begins

seems the CSA / AI has to attack me now, and i have the heights and 2 out of the 3 VL so will change orders to hold and wait out the attacks

seems they don't want to be attacked on 2 sides and stay put and don't advance on me, so when my extra 1000 men as reinforcements come i may carry on the attack on them, in both directions at once

with nowhere left to run, it was only going to happen one way

take out there supply, then there guns, have removed the advantage of height, then all that's left is the infantry

and now i move in, on both sides, top and bottom and see if i can push them off the last VL, with out too many loses, or i'll settle for the 2 i have

while my loses mount, i also get closer and decided one push then i'll pull back if it doesn't look like i'll make it

i have more than my pound of flesh so i pull back next turn and sit and hold for now

so no more forward movement unless something is worth the effort and cost appears

reinforcements arrive on the field so for now until they are in range i rally and rest and recover my men

all my units get either rested or reformed into better positions of defence apart from the marching fresh reinforcements that is

as my reinforcements arrive near my guns, next turn i'll move them into position and restart the attack for the guns, then the VL, or that was the plan, but for me i pay far too much for the guns and wish now i had the men back in stead of attacking them

while the guns and supply are gone, only the infantry are left, but my fresh troops will hopefully prove now too much for them without too much cost to me

while i've pushed too hard one of my units rout's after heavy lost and too long in contact on it's own and out of HQ radius, something that no amount of care now will recover, more reinforcement join in the battle, in a few turns i'll replace the losses with fresh troops and finally have the strength to remove the last few units on the heights and take the last VL

with no supply wagon's left, and the loss of the guns, it won't be long now

but will the win be worth the cost?

well that could have gone better for me, some bad and so so moves and results there, so seems the CSA has more than enough fight left in them, with my morale taking a big hit, all units are now in hold or rally mode, so no attacks from me and will be pulled back asap

seems they want to hold the last VL and the heights so i pull back as 2 is more than enough for me at this cost

with 2 of my units almost routing off the map now, i'm still in rally mode for all units and will pull back out of harms way, battle is over for me and my men

well i'm not going in the direction i want to go, but troop morale still needs to be higher or i'll lose on a morale loss, so back i go, but heading for better ground where i'll hold
