"Away, away, away down south in Dixie" - Vintage ACW

Some good old fashioned ACW on display this evening. In this scenario, both Federals and Confederates are fed fresh divisions into the front line as the game progresses. The Southerners end up with a terrible 'traffic jam' effect and struggle to get enough troops into the firing line. Nevertheless, the union commander was only able to make piecemeal attacks, which were mostly driven off eventually.

The climax of the game was a Union charge across a bridge in column of attack, which could have gone either way. However, the Confederates managed to hold on and push the column back over the bridge with heavy losses, providing a narrow 'winning draw' for the Secessionists.
