    The Army of the Potomac was positioned at Fairfax by early July, expecting to meet the Confederate army somewhere just south of there.

    The 1st and 2nd Cavalry Battalions scout up and down the Bull Run river to find more crossings.

    Movement orders for CSA, since it appears nobody has replaced me as Lee I'll simply assume its ok to do this
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    CSA moves to the wooded area just beyond the creek and established a defensive position in the elevated section of the woods. Artillery is positioned to the north-west on the higher ground supported by Longstreet's Corps. A cavalry probe is sent across the river.
