Began working through the single player scenarios. Played the Blood in the Run scenario as General Merideth commanding the Iron Brigade. It is a 30 minute scenario as perhaps you know.....At 10:30 AM I recieved orders to advance from near the seminary to attack the objective at Herbst woods.

The 6th Wisconsin had retreated back beyond the fence line and I ordered them up to keep pressure on the confederate counter attack.

The 7th Wisconsin had retreated all the way back to the seminary and were of little use.

Without any nearby support the 2nd Wisconsin was being flanked.The rebels were in control of the woods for the most part and I stood no chance of holding either objective. Time was running out.
