My general Stonewall took position on a hilltop with artillery and his lifeguards, the stonewall brigade.
In the far background you can see the cannons of my ally firing on long range already.
The conferderates are in a rather defending position because of the high number of the union army. To still have a bit of initiative, the regulars are moving out towards the enemy to create a first line of defence.
The enemy general Ulysses Grant is rapidly moving towards my line.
The opponent artillery has a much more wider range and is already shooting.
Finally the enemy comes into range of my 32lb howitzers. In the far background you can see the union forces already have a close range battle with my ally. How long will they hold through?
The union has a tight massive formation as they come into musket range.
The center of my first line shooting volley for volley and trying to hold the enemies off, who come closer...
…as the union make a bayonet charge on my lousiana tigers on the left flank. In the background you can see the hill where my ally fights for his life. The battle hardened tigers can repell the charge...
…but suddenly my ally's troops broke and falling back towards my lines
bringing with them a massive amount of union soldiers
to my left flank (on the right on this picture).
The weakened and tired lousiana tigers see themselves again in a bayonet charge, this time much more massive. They cant hold it a second time.
When the first line brakes (its used to be there where the canon shots just hit on the right), the leftovers of the first defence trying to reposition at the second line of defence, trying to hold them off from there.
Short time after, the second line sees itself in brutal bayonet fights already.
The third and last line of defence, two brigades of the stonewall regiment, taking position. If the second line breakes, they are the last men standing.
The second line is shooting until the battlefield is full of smoke. And they are able to fight the main wave of the unions back!
The union general tries to gather his last troops on the small hill to my left flank to have a final risky attack.
To prevent him from gathering too much of his left-overs and make the final push, I take the initiative again and send my Hood's Texans towards them.
As these veterans finally drive the generall and his last men off the battlefield
On the end of the day, the battlefield is full of dead bodies. Only a few of my own brigades are left and still hold the hill.
Victory!
