Which Way Did He Go? He Went Thataway!
McClellan, the AoP, plus Heintzelman's Corps, crossed over the Chesapeake Bay to land at ... Sommerset MD? I'm scratching my head over that one!
I'm beginning to to think that the Union generals south and east of Petersburg are lost (to the AI), as my cavalry scouts report leaders only, no accompanying forces.
Oh, and Hunter remains quartered at Williamsburg VA.
An inglorious end to the North's Richmond Campaign?
In the KY/TN theater, Buell, Grant (a corps of the former's Army of the Cumberland), and Thomas have made their entrance. About right on schedule with the Real War.
Out west, Price beat back an attack by Sigel at the Battle of Fayetteville.
A victory, but I don't like to see those 50/50 losses, or worse. The Union can afford to trade casualties, man for man. The Confederacy can't.
Still, Confederate NM continues to rise. Union NM is dropping. All in all, the South has reason to be somewhat pleased.
Union Morale 131, VPs 1362, Combat Losses 24869

[After a while, it gets to be rather boring reporting, and showing screenshots of, The Same Old Same Old. But I am doing this every turn lately, because of the unusual circumstances of this playtest -- losing Richmond, then taking it back, then the aftermath. I imagine that all of this is giving you plenty to think about.]
