Colonel Zebediah Protheroe and his Missouri Bushwhackers have been raiding in Featherstone County again. Now they are being pursued by General Issuwe and a strong force of US Army regulars.
Crossing the river, the Colonel aims to make a stand on the hill to the North, but first he intends to hold the two crossing points for some time to slow the pursuers advance.
|
The area North of the river (that looks like a bit of road) is impassable bog |
|
The Union forces attack both crossing points
|
|
The Rebels fall back from the bridge but hold the ford |
|
US Cavalry push back the rebels |
|
The assault of the hill begins on the US left flank |
|
The Right flank is still engaged with the CSA defenders |
|
The Union Army is finally all across the river and the CSA are at Exhaustion Point |
|
Heavy casualties have also brought the Union Army to EP at Turn 12
|
As night falls, the surviving Bushwackers are able to slip away having managed to hold the hill against a larger force.
