This game was played using Neil Thomas's ACW OHW rules - to explain the dice marking unit strength; a White 1 = ten. If there are two black dice add the pips shown together.
The Union objective is to exit 3 units (at any remaining strength) from the table. Only the CSA force may enter the wooded areas.
