Scourge of War Boards

On Friday night nine of us, from the UK, US, Italy and Switzerland, fought as a confederate corps under the command of MTG, with Martin James as the other division commander and the rest as brigade commanders. We fought using the HITS and courier mod and a Kriegspiel style of play, only speaking to other commanders on TS when we were next to them on the field.

The ensuing battle was one of the most enjoyable I've played in SoW. The 'fog of war' didn't, this time, wreak havoc on our plans and the results were most gratifying. Some brigades saw lots of movement and some some very heavy fighting.

The replay feature means I've now been able to go back and travel round the battlefield rather than just my corner. Here are some screenshots of the mini-map, which I hope go some way to illustrating the epic feel of the battle.

The AI Union commander commits his reserves Our right and centre receive the attack While the right and centre hold and inflict huge losses on the enemy, our left advances and pushes back the Union's right Our right flank co-ordinate an attack, to commence at 4.30 They push back the enemy's left flank and centre More regiments flee the field and the enemy's rout is almost complete

Nice AAR Blaugrana. Anderson's defense of our right flank was extremely well done as was yours and Hays' sweep around the enemy's right. Those two batteries on Jasper Road saved the Union corps. If they hadn't held to the last man, we'd have closed the sack. Instead of routing off the field, those boys in blue would have been on their way to Andersonville.
