Just to show I can lose on both sides of this game, here is a new report. Also, shows that AI Grant came be just as stupid as AI Bragg.
Situation:
Me - Black Jack Logan and his trusty Western Yankee Div
Map - The Fabulous Newly Modded Kansas Map, again with Fog Mod engaged
Armies - Champion Hill OOB, Full on with all Foot, Guns, Horse, etc.
Type - Hunt Them Down, No Objs.
Started off in Reserve. All 5 other Yankee Divs moved out. Sometimes its fun just to watch what happens. I followed with keen interest Hovey's Div moving off to the left, up the road. He is unsupported. Rebel columns drive down all three roads, catching the Federals bunched up in column. Within some 30 minutes, 4 of 5 engaged Federal Divs are sent reeling back in confusion. Hovey's Div on the left is hit hard by Bowen's Rebels. He is pretty much crushed and sent back hard. Without waiting for orders, I move up the road towards Hovey's failing position. At this time Crocker's Div is starting to, (and ultimately failing), to hold up the triumphant Rebel on the right. Race my batteries forward and commence pouring cannister into Bowen's cheering lads. My infantry arrives, forms up and pours a withering fire into the Rebs. Eventually, this is too much for Bowen's lads and they give ground, grudgingly. I wheel my batteries to face north to commence counter-battery fire on Bowen's Guns. At this point, a courier arrives from my Corps Commander with the usual nonsensical orders and rides off. I now take a look at the map. The Rebels have swept the field behind me and are coming on with a vengeance, pushing the tattered remnants of the Federal Divs before them. Time to withdraw.
Game over.
Again, the fog plays a key role in concealing the enemy from view until they are right on top of you. (Sweet!)
