Scenario 19: Blow from the Rear

 The Union General is holding two river crossings against, what his scouts assure him is, a small force of Rebels. As such he has left a third of his force in reserve with orders to hold their position (until turn 7). The Rebels have in fact moved a force across the river in secret and they will strike the Union's rear (at turn 6). The Rebels' objective is to push all Union forces back from the river by the end of the day (no unit to be closer than 1 grid square at turn 15). Original Portable Wargame rules were used for this game.
