RebBugler,
I'm not sure I edited the topics correctly. Should I simply start a new topic?
As usual, thanks.

I suggest you keep this under one thread, it's your quest and easy to refer back to if it's not spread all over the place. If you agree move that other AAR back to this thread and leave a message to delete that thread.
I thought changing a reply topic title by the author would change the original topic, I was wrong. Obviously you have to change the first post topic title also. Blow it off if you want, just a suggestion that turned into work. :ohmy:
Congrats on Spangler's Springs, yeah, it's a little toughie. Yet crucial to the overall mission of this scenario series success.
And another Congrats for the East Cavalry Field victory. By your casualty report you whittled them down and didn't sustain near as many casualties. That's what's most important here as you progress to the last battle.
Yeah, cavalry control is an acquired art and learning it's weaknesses. The main weakness is exhaustion, avoid it, walk everywhere, save them for engagements. The other is woods, only enter dismounted because cavalry can't charge or melee in woods. So, if you get within auto charge range of the enemy, 125 yards, and your troops are mounted, they will freeze up...unable to charge or dismount. Only a forced retreat will save them from being cut to pieces and eventually routed.
